    I've been known to wave my own cane from the comfort of the rocker on my front porch a time or two... I think that's why I understood it. :P

    Get cherry and I will call you a 78 year old grandma knitting a sweater.



    Oh hell, who am I to talk, cherry is one of my favorites.


    I suck at knitting.

    I'm sorry, I didn't get anything offensive from this commercial at all. He didn't intentionally target the woman; he tossed the pie over his shoulder, not even looking at what was behind him.

    That said, it's still stupid and somewhat juvenile, as most commercials are. But hardly offensive.

    I agree with the above remark:

    I'm a 60 year old grandma and I didn't get affended. This is what the commerical is about: "A man is minding his own business and eating cherry pie in a diner when another man sits next to him, throws his pie, and accuses him of being a 78 year old grandma knitting a sweater. He shouldn't be wasting his taste buds on pie, he should be drinking Pepsi Max Cherry Blast!"

    Granted they insinulate the fellow is an old "fuddy duddy", and his taste buds should be tasting Pepsio Max CHERRY Blast, not a CHERRY pie

    This.

    OP are you offended at the implication that 70 year old grandparents do nothing but sit around and knit sweaters, or are you offended that the actress portraying the elderly woman in the commercial was hit in the face with pie?

    Personally I'm offended at any commercial suggesting that any carbonated beverage that isn't Diet Coke has any merit at all in the world.

    So from some of the answers I'm seeing here, If instead of an old lady knitting , if the pie thrower had instead said "You're not a ____________(any ethnic/racial group)" and thrown pie striking person of that group , Still Funny ? No harm ? How about a disabled vet ? or a small child ? Still funny ? Not funny ? Why was the old person getting hit funny ?
    I'm sure if a Jewish person had been hit a lot of Skinheads and Nazis would start drinking Pepsi. Not me. Would You ? What audience is Pepsi trying to reach ?
