New Pepsi 'Grease' ad is not the one that we want

Pepsi's jumped on a retro tip with its latest campaign, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Grease featuring US rapper and songwriter Doja Cat for a "modern take on a classic". The only problem being that a lot of younger customers seem to be unsure what that classic was.

The drink maker's brought in Doja Cat to cover John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John's You're the One that I Want for the launch of two limited edition vintage soda shop flavours with retro cans. But while there's been a lot of nostalgia in the air this year, we're not sure this effort hits the right notes. Fans are divided, and some are confused about where the song came from (see our roundup of the best print ads to see advertising at its best).
