* DistaffCounterpart: There was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXRa9XD6Ygc&t=435s Pepsiwoman]] to advertise Pepsi Twist, a lemon-flavored Pepsi. Specifically its "Diet" variant. Other than having a feminine body, Pepsiwoman also wore a lemon-shaped ski mask to represent the lemon flavor, much like Pepsiman Twist.

->''Pepsiman is such a refreshing guy that he delivers Pepsi-Cola to thirsty people. He can pop up Pepsi-Cola with "Schwaaa!" action and deliver them around everywhere. According to reliable sources, he is a promoter of Pepsi-Cola Company. And Pepsiman is also such an athlete that he is good at all kinds of sports. Especially, he is so into sideways-riding sports such as surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding etc. He is very confident of his physical ability.''
