Pepsi - Japanese Flavour!

This ad was done by BBDO, Toronto but the copy I think is either in Japanese or Chinese (not sure). I really don't know what the hook is or what the ad is saying? Anybody from South East Asia has clarity on this one??

I think it doesent matter what it means, the irony with the ad for Northen American Dudes is that it's better visual with the asian signs. Its realy cool.

it mean " GONG Xi FATT CHAI" in chinese. word that chinese will say the most during chinese new year, something like happy new year.

the chinese wordings mean, "wishing you a wealthy year ahead", we chinese say it when during chinese new year. its a new year greeting. so rather than having chopsticks , they replaced it with the straws.quite a clever thought!

Exactly!
Two straws on a chopstick rest, placed as if they were chopsticks for your meal, but obviously for the Pepsi about to be served on this Special Chinese Occasion...
Very smart!
