Pepsi MAX 2011 Super Bowl Commercial, Love Hurts

During Super Bowl XLV in 2011, Pepsi featured an ad in which a man’s girlfriend is forcefully keeping his diet in check. While ordering French fries at a restaurant, he receives a kick under the table which prompts him to switch to the fruit cup. He attempts to sneakily eat a burger while sitting in the tub of his bathroom, only to have it snatched from his hands and replaced by a bar of soap shoved in his mouth. He sits on a park bench and cracks a can of Pepsi. His girlfriend appears next to him, but instead of slapping the cola from his hands, she sips from a can herself. The man is confused, until he realizes he’s drinking Pepsi Max. It has zero calories, but maximum taste.
