Purchase, New York - Pepsi-Cola North America, headquartered in Purchase, N.Y., is now making screen accurate prop replicas. The real props can be seen in movies, TV shows, and commercials. "Propgod", his name on several Internet prop boards, says, "This is great! I can finally get my hands on some affordable, screen accurate replicas. I am already working on an elaborate, wall mounted display mount for them."

The Pepsi cans can be purchased at local convenience stores, super markets, vending machines, and some yard sales. Some claim that Pepsi is following Coca Cola's lead. Coca Cola started making screen accurate prop replicas of the prop seen in the balcony scenes in "Attack of the Clones".

A spokesperson for a major studio told us, "I think this is a trend that is only going to grow. Besides the soda cans, we are seeing screen accurate props from car manufacturers, cell phone makers, airplane manufacturers, and even gun manufacturers."

PepsiCo Beverages and Foods North America also comprises PepsiCo's Tropicana, Gatorade and Quaker Foods businesses in the United States and Canada.

Pepsi-Cola North America's carbonated soft drinks, including: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Twist, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Code Red, Sierra Mist, and Mug Root Beer account for nearly one-third of total soft drink sales in the United States.
