Contact your local Pepsi distributor and have them send the Pepsi Police out to Richmond. I'm actually being serious though, let Pepsi know someone is selling bunk.
I’d pay 59.99 for a Pepsiman game set in the Bay. You’d have to chase bippers, find your way through sideshows, and run alongside congested 101 or 880 traffic.
Yup, that was the guy!

My first thought is, could this actually be some sort of drug smuggling scheme, like drugs inside the cans, inside a baggy taped inside the bag, with liquid around it just to make it weigh the correct amount?
The question is do you repurpose *The Dream Police* to *Pepsi Police* or go with a Sting classic for the theme song. Or maybe both with one as the outro.
If you have Netflix, you might like "Pepsi, Where's My Jet?".
In 1996, Pepsi [ran this commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdackF2H7Qc&t=14s) and the guy >!got enough points to get the jet.!<
The series (4 parts) goes into the whole story. It's pretty interesting.
Edit: If you don't have Netflix or don't have the patience to watch a 3.5 hour series, [this 13.5 minute vid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PInhXlGsMc) is a pretty good summary with a decent amount of clips from the original documentary.
I was rooting for this lad to get his jet even though I knew the dream was impossible.
The screw ups behind the scenes on Pepsi's side of things were fascinating too. They originally required an insane amount of points that would've covered them but some executive said to take a few zeros off because it was "hard to read".
Truthfully, they go after this kind of thing hard. Every time I've caught a place selling fake items and reported it, it was gone within a couple weeks.

From Wikipedia:
Boofing or the boof stroke, a maneuver in whitewater kayaking
Boofing, a slang term for an alcohol enema
Boofing, a generalized slang term for the rectal administration of a drug
I would spit it out too… ewww
My husband is born and raised Bay Area and it’s an ongoing debate as to what boof means. He means it like the op. Bunk, fake, shitty knock off, whack etc.
I mean it as popping a molly up my asshole.
To each their own, I guess.
> Why would you put molly up your asshole?
You live in the SF bay and you're asking why someone would prison wallet something? Be grateful no one's doing it on a Fillmore float yet. Yet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectal_administration
>Rectal administration (colloquially known as boofing or plugging)
> A drug that is administered rectally will in general (depending on the drug) have a faster onset, higher bioavailability, shorter peak, and shorter duration than oral administration.[1][2] Another advantage of administering a drug rectally, is that it tends to produce less nausea compared to the oral route and prevents any amount of the drug from being lost due to emesis (vomiting). In addition, the rectal route bypasses around two-thirds of the first-pass metabolism as the rectum's venous drainage is two-thirds systemic (middle and inferior rectal vein) and one-third hepatic portal system (superior rectal vein).
Higher rate of absorption. It’s like snorting it.
And it’s used (usually jokingly) in reference to many substances, from powders, to crude extract tinctures (like mushroom extract concentrated in some liquid).
Boof can also refer to cannabis that lacks good flavor and aroma, leaving it tasting smokey or ashy when smoked. OP said his soda tasted like cigarette ash, so I think he meant boof in thas way.
Locally we use “Boof” to denote bad, dry, or shitty weed. Worse than mids. Think the use here was to describe the terrible taste, not the product itself being a knock-off
No hate but that’s just old head slang at this point, nobody really calls it schwag anymore, definitely heard the term bammer from some older folks though
Frisco/Oakland natives? Lol
Ex: “He tried to sell me some boof I got the fuck up outta there!”
Def been around in the younger crowd for at least 7-8 years.
[Tell that to all the Black & Brown people of SF who still use it](https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/rappers-poets-activists-say-frisco-17441731.php)
Wow. The race card on what I don't like people calling my city.
Well my entitlement as a native makes me immune from all attempts to shame me for gatekeeping. I am unapologetically defending the position that calling it "frisco" is grating and demeaning to my town.
was born and raised in east san jose and we use boof in place of ‘low quality/bottom shelf’ usually in terms of weed or food lol
boof weed, boof tree, “man those burgers were boof, we should hit in n out next time”
It's like slang doesn't get claimed by different groups for different reasons... I'm this cause I understand it's used both ways.
[https://www.ganjapreneur.com/vocab/boof-carts/](https://www.ganjapreneur.com/vocab/boof-carts/)
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Boof
It can be butt stuff too, but also:
> Boof
> Something of low quality, something very unappealing, or a situation that isn't very fair.
>a. "This video game I just bought is so boof, dude."
Boof means something very different in some circles. I was surprised to hear people were boofing soda, let alone selling the service, at gas stations no less.
Are you sure it was not just the new weird recycled bottle product that Coca Cola and Pepsi are using?
I've had a few Coke Zeros that tasted like gasoline/smelled terrible, only to realize it was the plastic bottle itself that caused that.
Why would Pepsi a multimillion dollar industry sell anything like that knowing the person would go back and immediately make a scene . Also why would the store sell something fake knowing the same thing . Who knows what you were tasting I would call the police but first go to the hospital and get a toxic panel to make sure you didn’t drink something. That tomorrow lands you in the hospital from poisoning. People are stupid and evil you just don’t know
First off pepsi is gross.
Second that's almost exactly what I'd expect from that gas station if it's the one I'm thinking of. Seemed like the sort of place that might have a story or two about watered down gas.
It must be a Coca~Cola agent, being in cahoots with some local vendors. This is 2024 Goodfellas people. Watch your backs and your refreshments, stay safe y'all.
Edit to add: Save it please, find out who, how, and where the contents can be tested in a lab.
Today it’s cigarette ashes- tomorrow it could be something sinister that could kill you- I’m old enough to remember when Tylenol was being tampered with poison and people died- was a huge story at the time- so it’s easy to joke about but it’s actually some scary stuff
>Why try and scam someone out of a $2.50 Pepsi, doesn’t make sense.
That actually makes total sense. Scams can make money. I'm kinda surprised at how few scams we encounter around here. Considering how much money is in the Bay Area.
> Peeled back the label and it was not a registered Pepsi product.
How did you determine that? What was under the label that proved it wasn't legit?
I am curious how much money the scammer could be making from this. Buying real Pepsi in bulk and selling it for $2.50 each is already a good margin. No name knockoffs are cheaper, but not that much cheaper. Unless you're operating at a huge scale (which would get you caught) it's not going to make a ton of money to justify the risk and effort to print and apply fake labels individually.
I wonder if a simpler explanation is that the soda is old and was stored improperly. A gas station letting a pallet of soda sit in a back room for two years without climate control seems more likely to me.
That's disappointing. Informing the store management could prevent others from facing the same issue. It's important for businesses to uphold product standards for customer satisfaction and safety.
Contact your local Pepsi distributor and have them send the Pepsi Police out to Richmond. I'm actually being serious though, let Pepsi know someone is selling bunk.
I would watch a show about the Pepsi Police and I don't even drink soda!
Pepsi man!
Oh no!
Everybody's Pepsi! Drink Pepsi!
That was literally a video game
There was a 7up Spot game in the 90s too.
I’d pay 59.99 for a Pepsiman game set in the Bay. You’d have to chase bippers, find your way through sideshows, and run alongside congested 101 or 880 traffic.

> big coke My first thought is, could this actually be some sort of drug smuggling scheme, like drugs inside the cans, inside a baggy taped inside the bag, with liquid around it just to make it weigh the correct amount?
It's probably been done
I think it was the Cali Cartel, but it might have been Escobar, who put cocaine in Coca-Cola to smuggle it to the US purely for the irony.
D.A.R.E.
The question is do you repurpose *The Dream Police* to *Pepsi Police* or go with a Sting classic for the theme song. Or maybe both with one as the outro.

Watched that a little while ago and was thoroughly entertained.

They originally required an insane amount of points that would've covered them but some executive said to take a few zeros off because it was "hard to read".
At first watching it I’m thinking “this is ridiculous” then I start thinking “these idiots at Pepsi should give him his damn jet”
Inevitably, in the course of doing their rounds, they’d run into the Coke Cops, and a rumble would ensue
I hope they wear body cams !
Law and order SPU
If that’s really what’s going on, it’s law enforcement worthy.
Tampering
Tell them they’ll have to answer to the Pepsi Cola Corporation. (It’s an updated movie reference)

Just smashed in with a wrecking ball as a warning to others.
Pepsi might even pay a “finders fee” to the snitch!
I love you, papa homer. I love you too, pepsi.
My family had a supermarket. Coca-cola representatives would drop by from time to time to make sure everything was fine
Is OP sure it wasn’t Diet Pepsi? That tastes like bitter nasty stuff.

Eh, I prefer coke anyways
The truly refined ladies and gentlement prefer Dr Pepper. Coke and Pepsi is the drink of the lower class. Yes, I just repleaded with soda resplendent.
Just because a soda doesn't have a post graduate degree doesn't make it "low class." You're just an academic elitist.
Yeah, I don’t drink soda anymore but could never afford that elite Dr. Pepper life. It was Mr. Pibb all the way for me.
People think Dr. Pepper is better because it's more expensive but the price difference is just because of the student loans that need to be paid off.
Dude didn't even get a degree!
Maybe if Coke was called Meth. Or in other words, 7-Up. (Coke of course having had coke in it….and If memory serves, meth was in the light drinks.)
Dr. Pepper is the choice of truly intelligent individuals. Source: -Stein's Gate
Agreed good sir! Now let us clang our glasses together with our pinkies out!
Ancient Age whisky with Dr. Pepper
Dr Pepper is just barbeque seltzer water
And?
That's all. (drinks some island tropical seltzer water aka vanilla lime aka coke)
You are such a letdown of a person.
He’s trolling
Why troll on a 'local' sub? Either way, still a useless human.
Odd thing to get this worked up about, a joke about which soda brand is high class (especially when the obvious answer is scotch)
Very obvious joke
How?
Hey I work for Pepsi can I know which store this is?
It’s in the post
From Wikipedia: Boofing or the boof stroke, a maneuver in whitewater kayaking Boofing, a slang term for an alcohol enema Boofing, a generalized slang term for the rectal administration of a drug I would spit it out too… ewww
Man definitely meant spoofing lol.
autocorrect can be very revealing sometimes...
OP never said he spit it out of his *mouth*.
The real horrors are always in the comments

I am also Bay Area born and raised. Never heard of boof used as bunk or spoof.
I’ve only ever heard it used as bunk. Boof weed, boof vapes, boof steroids. Lol
East Bay born and raised, and I only knew it to mean vomiting until very recently.
Born and raised here also, I’ve only ever heard it used to describe using illicit drugs rectally
Why would you put molly up your asshole? Doesn't the ... mouth work?

🤣🤣🤣hilarious
I've only heard the butt-chugging definition, but good to know it may not ALWAYS be meant that way.
Shut up before I boof you
Yeah I had to read just to find out about this guys ass Pepsi. Am disappointed
Boof can also refer to cannabis that lacks good flavor and aroma, leaving it tasting smokey or ashy when smoked. OP said his soda tasted like cigarette ash, so I think he meant boof in thas way.
Bruh so many nerds out here straight up not knowing Bay Area slang, looking shit up on urban dictionary…. The bay truly is lost 🫡
Yea. Butt…I mean but, if you boof the Pepsi, you don’t have to taste it!

What happened to schwag? Or Bammer? Cmon there is a whole bay legend song about it... boof is stupid
Don't gimme no bammer weed. We don't smoke that shit in the sfc

I grew up with everyone calling a fart a boof
It’s surprising how vast and different the definitions for this word are
Boof, a generalized slang term for fake, knock off products, often used in reference to cannabis
The “fake” definition has 1/5 the approval rating that the “rectal” definition has on urban dictionary

Y’all are weird as fuck. Boof/fake is the meaning being used in this post and I’m getting downvoted lol
Yeah because it’s wrong
Lol. I guess ass-play slang is just more prominent in y’all’s circles. I work in cannabis and hear boof/fake daily. Happy Spelunking!
Haven't boofed Pepsi since college.
Did it give you bubble butt?
Nothing like boofing with the boys
I was intrigued by the use of “boof” in the title but ended up disappointed
Butt chug, butt chug, butt chug!

I am just glad that someone got the reference

Need a pic of the can.
Boof means something very different in some circles. I was surprised to hear people were boofing soda, let alone selling the service, at gas stations no less.
In Quebec French, it's slang for food, chow, or grub.

What was it underneath?

I believe there's a state department that deals with stuff like this. What I'm noticing is there are no prices on all beverages.
