Pepsi Perfect From Back To The Future II Is Real Now

pepsi-perfect

It’s almost October 21st, 2015. And, according to Back To The Future II, we should have had hoverboards, auto-lacing shoes, and the Chicago Cubs in the World Series by now. Hee-hee, the Cubs.

Well, so far, at least one prophecy from the film is correct, as we can soon enjoy Pepsi Perfect. The beverage, although it’s just regular Pepsi in a futuristic bottle, is being offered for a limited time to help celebrate Back To The Future Day, and the 30th Anniversary of the original movie.

Now, how about those funky shoes, Future people?

The Plate Project, Dinner Plates From The Future

original
Gardens vs. Factories by Jono Pandolfi

Food & Wine recently created The Plate Project — where they asked a few notable folks from the food industry what a dinner plate might look like 35 years from now. And, rather than having to listen to a few foodies pontificate about the current state of food and its apparently doomed future — F&W had them instead get all artsy and actually create a plate.

The Plate Project, unsurprisingly, becomes a display of the bleak future of food and agriculture — with heavy emphasis on the role of pharmaceuticals and science. Also of note is a plate by culinary instructor Dave Arnold, who just went ahead and deep-fried a plate — perhaps summing up perfectly the inevitable progression from our current eating habits. Check them all out here.
