Ed’s Telecom Alert

All..

I wrote an email to Pepsi with the following comment, and Pepsi responded with the comment following my thanks.   Notice in Pepsi’s response on "dear,         "    No name, so it was obviously a form email, but I appreciate them responding though. 

eyes open & thumbs up,

"Just quick word of thanks for the TV Commercial showing the deaf joke.

I remember the old joke way back in 1950’s - yeah I’m not a youngster. The joke goes like this and it was a motel where a deaf guy stepped out of room to get a coke (pepsi ?) and forgot which room. So he went to his car, and honked - the only room that did not light up was his room where his deaf wife lay sleeping.

Please pass on to ur superiors the grateful appreciation for the TV Commercial showing the world what it is like to be Deaf.

eyes open & thumbs up,

A Message from Consumer Relations 011495532A

"Dear , 

Thank you so much for taking the time to contact us at Pepsi-Cola and for your kind words about our very special commercial, "Bob’s House."

We couldn’t be more proud of this commercial and the people whose creativity, sensitivity, and effort went into making a truly groundbreaking television experience. The spot was developed by and features some of our own employees who are members of EnAble, an internal network whose mission is to promote a more inclusive environment for people with different abilities.

I can tell you that the outpouring of support, both inside the company and among viewers, has been overwhelming. It’s truly gratifying to all of us at PepsiCo to know that our 60-second message has resonated so positively and helped to raise public awareness.

Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback. We really appreciate your friendship and support.
