    Back to the Future Day (October 21, 2015)

    Marty enters an '80s-themed diner in the future, where he's faced with a pair of talking heads on a video screen relaying a complicated menu. He waves his hands in frustration and says, "All I want is a Pepsi." What he gets is a bottle of Pepsi Perfect. We know it's the Pepsi of the future because it comes in a bottle shaped more like a weizen beer glass, but with a blue top.

    Pepsi Perfect goes on sale on October 21, made famous as the day Marty McFly arrives in 2015 in the movie. Limited quantities of 6,500 bottles in collectible cases will be sold online, meaning you can't just pop into your local '80s cafe and order one.

    The rest of us will get a shot at buying a 16.9-ounce bottle of Pepsi Perfect for $20.15 (about £13, AU$28). According to promo images of the bottles, the beverage will pack 210 calories, though most fans probably won't even touch the drink inside, instead keeping it as a rare collectible.

    Pepsi "P1" Smartphone (China Only)
    Shortly after announcing that it will make a limited amount of the fictional drink Pepsi Perfect to celebrate "Back to the Future Day" on October 21, Pepsi has confirmed it plans to release a smartphone.

    "Available in China only, this effort is similar to recent globally licensed Pepsi products which include apparel and accessories," a PepsiCo spokeswoman told Reuters via email.

    Presumably Pepsi won't actually manufacture the phone itself, but the company didn't confirm any details on the make or name. Chinese site Sina, however, reports that the phone will be called the "P1" and rock some relatively average specs. These include a 5.5-inch, 1,080p display; 1.7GHz CPU; 2GB RAM; 16GB storage and a 13-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front camera. The Android 5.1 phone (Lollipop) will cost roughly the equivalent of $205 and is set to launch on October 20.
