On May 15 2025, Pepsi's "Pepsi Mic Drop" NFT account initiated a conversation with Meta's corporate account using crypto slang like "fren" and "WAGMI" ("we're all going to make it"). Budweiser's account joined in, creating a branded banter session aimed at the NFT community. Rather than endearing the brands to crypto enthusiasts, the exchange was widely mocked, with observers saying the companies sounded like out-of-touch parents using slang.
