Friend Just Hasn’t Been the Same Since He Won That Free Pepsi

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO—Colorado Springs resident Wayne Gallaway reported earlier today that his friend, Spencer Buckner, has let the fact that Buckner won a free Pepsi from the bottle cap of another Pepsi go completely to his head.

“I just don’t know who he is anymore,” said Gallaway.

Gallaway went on to describe the generally negative changes in Buckner’s behavior since he acquired the complimentary beverage.

Using words like “superior” and “entitled” Gallaway described the ill effects the gratis soda had on Buckner and the strain that his behavior had placed on their friendship.

“Back when he had to pay for his Pepsis, he was a pretty nice guy. Humble, even. I just don’t get it,” said a visibly perplexed Gallaway. “But now, he’s outraged that people don’t have enough respect for him and his accomplishment. I guess this whole thing has just caused his ego to raise its head.”

Reached for comment, Buckner’s friends and family were able to corroborate Gallaway’s statements.

“I’m afraid we’re just going to have to sit him down and talk to him about this,” said Buckner’s mother who was holding back tears. “That’s not who I raised.”

Buckner’s father responded, “What, the Pepsi thing?”

He then glared at reporters and left the room.

“I honestly have hope that we can get the old Spence back,” said Gallaway.

Upon Buckner’s arrival at the inevitable intervention, all those in attendance threw their hands up in despondency when Buckner announced that he had just won free medium fries from a McDonald’s Monopoly piece.
