# Truck (Diet Pepsi · 1995)

## Insight
TODO: Verify year. Likely part of Diet Pepsi's campaign era featuring Cindy Crawford or similar celebrity-centric work, or alternatively an absurdist product demonstration. The truck format suggests a scale demonstration or delivery/aspiration narrative.

## Mechanic
An absurdist spot involving a truck — either as extreme delivery mechanism for Diet Pepsi or as a visual scale demonstration of demand/desire for the product.

## Why it worked
P11 + P14 suggests an over-the-top demonstration of product desirability or some functional attribute delivered through an extreme, comedic scenario involving a delivery vehicle.

## Steal
Scale of desire can be demonstrated through scale of delivery mechanism. A truck arriving for a single product purchase signals irresistible demand more memorably than any taste-test claim.
