Diwali Greetings from PepsiCo and Target

Awww, thanks PepsiCo and Target, you made my day when I got your card in the mail, the other day. It was really thoughtful of you to think of me.

I should probably thank Indra Nooyi for this Diwali greeting from PepsiCo and Target? It turns out that I got hit with another Desi inspired, advertising mailer. The last one was from McDonald's.

Then I started thinking. Was Pepsico trying to make me forget the Indian standard snacks like namkeen that taste so good with a Diwali drink? Would I opt for some Lays Potato chips in lieu of fried Bajia? Should I drink lots of Pepsi so that I am alert when I am lighting fire crackers...whoops, fire crackers are illegal in my state, so let's not talk about them.

Of course Indra, PepsiCo and Target forgot the most important thing with this Desi mailer, NO COUPON for free stuff! We like presents on Diwali, usually in the form of money. What kind of greeting is this?

HAPPY DIWALI and SAL MUBARAK from us at Chor Bazaar!
