After These Messages: The Buttercream Gang and Diet Pepsi with Kat

Julia's sister Kat is back to talk Buttercream related things. Truly a noble deed, since, in Kat's own words, "I'd rather watch a movie about butt cream."We started with The Buttercream Gang in 30 secondsWe did not find this particularly representative of the whole of The Buttercream gang, though it does contain that song… Next we tackled The Buttercream Gang recut as horrorWe felt this one was a more accurate representation of the actual movie. Next we watched the Trailer for The Buttercream Gang 2: The Secret of Treasure MountainThis sequel apparently casts Eldon as the hero, and sends these kids to … a monastery? We guess? The discussion on this led us to the original viral video (which was a Vine. Remember Vine?) that was the basis for the macaroni in the pot line in WAP. This video is only 6 seconds long, but still manages to be not safe for work. Meanwhile, if you are unfamiliar with WAP, you can find that (also not safe for work) video here. We finished with some You Got the Right One Baby Diet Pepsi commercialsSo much going on here. This led us to discuss cola ad legends of yore. Like foreign markets claiming Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From The Grave and Coca-Cola translating to Bite The Wax Tadpole. We also talkie about (but didn't watch) this commercial for Chloraseptic, which Julia mistakenly remembered as being for Triaminic.
