8. Now it’s a meme
From the Metafilter FAQ:
Q: Someone called my comment/post Pepsi Blue; what does
that mean?
A: Pepsi Blue has become a sort of catch‐all catcall for
something that's a possible shill pos?ng on MetaFilter ‐ that
is, an ad or product endorsement for reasons other than just
overall consumer joy. The reason why Pepsi Blue was chosen
had to do with the large number of bloggers who seemed to
pay special no?ce of the Pepsi Blue launch.
