The days of Pepsi are long gone.
Text content
We still talk about you
Overview
The meme is an edited illustration split into two vertical sections. The upper section depicts a young, weary-looking illustrated person lying face down on the surface of dirt ground among dry yellow grass, resting their head on their hands with a sad, mournful expression. The lower section shows a cross-section of underground soil, with thin vein-like root patterns spread through the dirt. Overlaid on the soil cross-section is bold yellow text with black outline reading "We still talk about you", and the official logo of the defunct platform LiveLeak (accompanied by its tagline "Redefining The Media") placed at the bottom of the soil section, implying LiveLeak is buried in the grave. The joke subverts the common meme trend of joking about Pepsi being an outdated, irrelevant brand, instead referencing that the now-shut-down LiveLeak platform (infamous for hosting unfiltered, often graphic real-world content including footage of death and violence) is the long-gone internet platform that users still remember and discuss.
Origin notes
This meme was originally shared on 9Gag, with the provided official original title "The days of Pepsi are long gone.". It is a remix of the popular "buried outdated brand" meme format, swapping the typical Pepsi grave subject for LiveLeak to reference the platform's 2021 shutdown and its enduring notoriety among long-time internet users.
