The day is here. The day Marty Mcfly traveled to the future in Back to the future 2. Some fun stuff today that you may or may not know about for this special day.
Pepsi Perfect
When Marty went into the cafe 80’s he got a Pepsi. Pepsi had announced that on October 21st they would release a limited number of Pepsi Perfect bottles that were filled with regular Pepsi for $20.15. Well many people waited for the clock to strike midnight so they could hurry up and order this limited collector piece only to discover they were already sold out. It turns out that Amazon and Walmart had opened up online purchasing of the item early and they sold out within one hour. People were upset to find out that several people were able to order them early.
The future may have arrived early for some lucky fans, but #PepsiPerfect isn’t sold out just yet! It goes on sale this morning!

Pepsi still released the link to order from their site on time but as expected they sold out in no time.
As promised, our limited edition bottles of #PepsiPerfect went on sale this #BTTF morning! It sold out faster than we can say 1.21 Gigawatts — Pepsi™ (@pepsi) October 21, 2015
Now if you want to get your hands on one you will have to take to Ebay. You might not be happy with the price though. 
USA Today
When Doc and Marty first arrive in 2015 Doc shows Marty a copy of USA Today that shows his son being arrested on the front page. The news paper is the October 22nd edition. Marty needs to prevent his son from getting mixed up with Griff and committing the crime that lands him on the front page of tomorrows paper. Well USA Today has decided they would print that front page for there October 22nd edition that will come out on Thursday. It would be cool if they also came out with the version that changed after Marty intervened and got Griff on the front page instead. I’m hoping to get my hands on a copy for keepsakes first thing in the morning.
Will Marty McFly save his future son today? Find out in tomorrow’s newspaper. #BackToTheFuture pic.twitter.com/JETKVZSJhg — USA TODAY (@USATODAY) October 21, 2015
Toyota
The updated version of the DeLorean time machine in part 2 was equipped with Mr. Fusion. This allowed the car to use trash to power the flux capacitor instead of plutonium. Well Toyota now has a car that basically runs on trash. They take the trash from landfills and convert the waste into hydrogen to power the new Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell Vehicle. So to promote this car the recruited Christopher Lloyd and Michael J Fox for a cool promo to show it off. Check that out below.
Ford
If you are reading this then i’m sure you are familiar with the movie and have heard of the Flux capacitor. Well when you visit Ford’s web site to see about buying a 2016 Ford Fiesta or Focus it will list the Flux Capacitor as an upgrade feature to the dash. There is even a short video to tell you about this stylish upgrade that will allow you to travel through time. It does however list at the end of the video and at the end of the details for this upgrade that it is not an actual available upgrade. So you will have to make your own if you want that feature. I’ve thought about it. In addition to that there might be more through the day that pop up. I know Amazon prime now has all 3 movies available to stream for Prime members. On Twitter the Michael J Fox Organization tweeted a photo of Michael J Fox putting on a pair of Nike Mags that he just got and mentioned they are coming in the spring of 2016. Possibly this time with power laces as rumored. Nike did release the Mags before to raise money for Parkinson’s research but those did not have power laces.
This is real. This is today. Coming spring 2016. cc: @RealMikeFox@Nikepic.twitter.com/KPswXNojvA — michaeljfox.org (@MichaelJFoxOrg) October 21, 2015
Then lastly we have a cool message from Doc in this video posted by Universal Pictures.
