Apart from the "grievous" error in translating the correct Latin "for many" to "for all" does this offend your sense of the sacred and hands off? Shouldn't there be "righteous indignation" over this by Catholics? What would the Jews do if their most sacred of religious symbols was treated in the same way by Pepsi? Or the Muslims?

Are we sure this is a reference to Catholicism and the Chalice and not just a reference to royalty, who are often depicted with ornate chalices? The "Pepsi for All!" slogan could be read as a slant on the words of consecration, or as something someone of royalty might say.
When I first saw it, I thought royalty, not Catholicism...

I figured they were probably going for a 'Renaissance feast' angle, but it seems they didn't think things through very carefully.
I'm not surprised. Especially after reading on LifeSiteNews Pepsi's use of aborted fetal cell lines for flavor research. Both are abominations; ESCR is a perversion of science and using sacred symbols to mock Catholic faith in the Real Presence is a perversion of imagination. They shall reap the whirlwind.
Notice the resemblance of the Pepsi logo to the Obammy logo?
I don't, can you past an image into a comment?
Words do not fail me here, in reference to Pepsi, it is just that you won't print any of them...
In hip hop culture many rap artists use the chalice as a status symbol
AKA a pimp chalice.

They drink what is known as Purple Drank which contains codeine mixed with purple kool aid.
You know qwikness, I probably could have easily gone another 49 years without having that data point inserted into my memory.

Perhaps we could suggest that it tastes better with a little antifreeze added...
Where is Torquemada when we need him?
Haved a Coke and a smile.....
I actually went to the Pepsi page and although I have not yet watched the commerical that this image alludes to, I THINK the only thing they were shooting for was a Medieval King's Banquet. Could be wrong, but that's first impression.
What is this? It is a sign. Storm's a comin'. No use to hidin'.
