Pepsi iPhone App Aims to Help Men Pick Up Girls
Yes, this is real.
Amp Energy is a drink made by the Pepsi company, and like any energy drink, it must come with a marketing campaign supported by an iPhone App.
The free app from the iTunes store is called Amp Up B4 U Score, which allows users (presumably which Pepsi targets as male) to choose from 24 different female stereotypes. The app then allows users to look through pick up lines and different types of talking points that are supposed to aid the user in "scoring."
For a better idea of how the app works, check out the video below:
Some found the application offensive and degrading, and Twitter users weren't afraid to express their displeasure by introducing the tag #pepsifail. The official AMPwhatsnext Twitter officially apologized in a tweet that read: "Our app tried 2 show the humorous lengths guys go 2 pick up women. We apologize if it’s in bad taste & appreciate your feedback."
The application is still available here on iTunes, if you're interested in checking it out. Let us know what you think about it in the comments below!

Ugh, women.
What? Aren't you a woman?
What? Aren't you a woman?
Yeah, but I know when to pick my feminist battles and arguing over a lame iPhone app is not a battle I care about.
What? Aren't you a woman?
You seem to have missed internet rule # 16.

Well from my experience with women, pulling out the black Amex has helped me on many more occasions than pulling out a smartphone. It all depends on how you use it. Granted, a woman who's interest is only my wallet has no business in my world - it takes a real woman to appreciate a real man.
in reply to that:
"Need a way to look gay? Yeah, there's an app for that."Nice Apple, nice.
There is an app called grindr on the iphone for gays.
I see this as useful especially if most mac users look like the douche on their mac vs pc comercials.
ummm im pretty sure PC nerds need a lot more help with chicks than Apple users...if you hold true to the stereotypes. Which most of you seem to be doing.
An app as an attempt to help awkward guys pick up girls, what's not to love? If anything we'll get more videos on failblog.
I can't help but ask, is it still available?
I think this could actually work. Not for everyone lol but a little help wouldn't hurt guys.
It's only fair. Women get fake tits & much more to play guys.

Pulling out the "black Amex" is like flashing large amounts of cash. You're picking up the wrong women...
Bwa ha ha. That's awesome and hilarious at the same time. The only fatal flaw in this, is that guys who buy an iGrenade, uh, I mean iPhone, are dorks

Yeah, and your name is megaman
"Need a way to look gay? Yeah, there's an app for that."Nice Apple, nice.
Actually, if recent statistics are to be believed, there's around 80,000 apps for that,
Did anyone else notice the "Married" classification? Does Pepsi want to have people cheat and break up?
yeah i paused it when i saw that too lol.

also brag function?
I would buy that if I had an iPhone simply because it sounds hilarious.
It's like it's one massive joke that everyone is taking too seriously.
The app is good fun for about 5 minutes, and if nothing else it would be a good conversation starter
And to join the apple debate a little, my employer supplied me with HTC's for about 3 years before I could choose what phone to use. And after I gave the 3GS a try, I will never go back to High Tech Crap again, ever. 
(I wouldnt buy a macbook or any of that s**t though).
i would just
