Someone dubbed Kendall Jenner's Pepsi ad with the Mentos jingle

Good job, internet.

In case you've lost faith in meme culture, cop this ad in the eyehole.

Max Paolucci has edited the horrendous bloody Pepsi train wreck (more deets below) with the Mentos commercial jingle and it's brilliant.

It's called Kendall Jenner "The Fresh Maker" and it's going viral for all the right reasons.

Now, if you're anything like us, you'll recognise the jingle from that scene on Clueless during which Ty is left to her own devices while Cher and Josh bicker in their fabulous kitchen stocked with all the ingredients for the perfect turkey sanga.

And if you watched that VHS as many times as we did, you'll know the lyrics to the jingle by heart even after all this time.

When you consider how many Aussies would know it, you can imagine just how iconic that jazzy tune and its corner freeze frame endings are to people in the US.

So when Paolucci timed it perfectly to the Pepsi ad, it was a guaranteed hit as it replicates that exact vibe.

In case you haven't been glued to your phone for the past 24 hours, this ad has been blowing the heck up.

Basically, people are peeved that Pepsi is attempting to commodify the #BlackLivesMatter movement and capitalise on civil unrest.

But the biggest thing is that rich white person solves any police issues by giving them a can of cola.

And as serious as the issue is, the tweets are on fire:

Pepsi has since retracted the commercial, and apologised for the whole kafuffle.

"Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding," the company said via Twitter.

"Clearly we missed the mark, and we apologize.

"We did not intend to make light of any serious issue.

"We are removing the content and halting any further rollout.

"We also apologize for putting Kendall Jenner in this position."

Of course this statement then sparked a whooooole lot of snark too, suggesting Pepsi "miss the mark" twice.

Watch the #PepsieKendall hashtag, because this is not going away anytime soon.
