Pepsi has recently unveiled a new advertisement featuring basketball icon Shaquille O’Neal, promoting their Pepsi Mini Cans as an ideal companion for snack and meal moments.

The commercial showcases O’Neal expressing a desire to be “a little bit smaller,” humorously highlighting the challenges posed by his larger-than-life stature. In a playful twist, he performs an original song set to the melody of Skee-Lo’s 1995 hip-hop hit “I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller,” humorously narrating instances where his size becomes a hindrance, such as uncomfortable airplane rides, oversized beds, and navigating doorways without bumping his head.

In a press statement, O’Neal, a longstanding partner of the brand, expressed his enjoyment in collaborating with Pepsi, stating that the creation of the ‘I Wish’ commercial was incredibly fun. He emphasized the idea that with Pepsi Mini Cans, he can savor every sip and find joy in life’s smaller pleasures.

Scheduled to air on television, the commercial will be featured during selected national NBA games on ESPN and TNT starting November 22, as well as during NBC’s primetime NFL lineup on Thanksgiving, November 23.

Pepsi Mini Cans are conveniently available in 6 and 10 packs, offering a variety of flavors, including Original, Zero Sugar, Wild Cherry, Diet, and Real Sugar.
