Do you remember the movie
“Back to the Future”?
Of course you do, it’s a classic!
Well, did you know that today – October 21, 2015 – is the day that the young Marty McFly transported to in the second movie in the series – “Back to the Future 2”.
It is all the rage today! There were BTTF themed weddings, Canada had some fun by issuing a DeLorean recall and even the president of the United States tweeted about it! Everyone is doing comparisons between today and how the year 2015 was depicted in the movie:
Yes: big screen TVs, drones, hands-free video games
No: hoverboards, flying cars, self-lacing shoes

Pepsi even got in on the act with an incredible marketing opportunity that has likely been in the works for 30 years. Genius in fact! In the movie, Marty McFly orders a Pepsi and is served a “Pepsi Perfect”. Today, Pepsi released a limited run of the soda! It sold out so fast that BTTF fans took to social media to express their outrage. Pepsi heard the cries and will be doing a second run of the bottles.
Another fun thing I found was a trailer for the movie “Jaws 19” that is featured in the film. The actual movie franchise only made it to Jaws 4 but to honour “Back to the Future” Day, a parody trailer was released for “Jaws 19”. Watch it here, it is hysterical!!
What a fun thing to bring the world together!
