Denver gets a Walmart market and Beckham embraces pirate day

Shaun Weston6 Jul 2012

We’ve rounded up a few food & beverage themed video nuggets from YouTube for your convenience, including PepsiCo at the 2012 Aspen Ideas Festival, Walmart's new convenience store in Denver, and illy's new campaign to get you to drink its java.

Brad Jakeman, president of Global Beverages Group, and Shiv Singh, global head of digital, welcome festival attendees to share their thoughts with PepsiCo. The music is definitely a Take That rip-off.

The downsizing of supermarkets continues as Walmart opens another of its successful Neighborhood Markets, this time in Denver in the US.

Broadway producer Hal Prince talks about the letter he wrote to Nigel Travis, Dunkin' Brands CEO and Dunkin' Donuts president, US, about the Dunkin' Donuts billboard in Times Square, New York.

David Beckham took over from Jamie Oliver as ambassador for Sainsbury's last November, and he's taken to it like a pirate to water. His moustache curls into the far corners like a trade mark free kick.

There's a new video clip for the 'Tiny Pranksters' from McDonald's, which is a viral campaign to promote it's Spicy Chicken McBites. However, we like this other new McDonald's ad, because it reminds us of the Starbucks Cookie Crumble Frappuccino.
