The bottle is a limited edition collectible — Pepsi is planning on only making a run of 6,500 bottles — and will be sold only while supplies last. Those looking to purchase the bottle can do so for $20.15, not quite as pricey as the $50 that Christopher Lloyd's Doc Brown gave Marty in the film. The bottle will be sold online, though Pepsi recommends fans check out the company's social media pages closer to the Oct. 21 launch date to know exactly where they can purchase it.
This, and the Nike shoes, are missing terrific opportunities to raise money for Parkinson's research, or financial aid for those with the disease. "Back To Help The Future", or something like that.
Twenty dollars for a soda? No. Fudge no.
Twenty dollars for a cool collectible that also goes towards terminating a disease? Fudge yes.
I'd speak with the Minge family, but it would be of no help.

Those Nikes for sure need to be done, for Parkinson's research no better reason man. What's the story behind Michael J Fox having it?
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

According to Wiki, he started displaying symptoms of Parkinson's in 1991 during the movie Doc Hollywood, and was diagnosed the following year. The MJF Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure, so like Luke said, if releasing the Nike shoes and other BTTF memorabilia would help the foundation, I'd be all for it.
I believe the first time they made the Nike Mag replicas they gave proceeds to Parkinson's research. I think this year, Nike actually wants to release the shoes commercially, though.
The price of this Pepsi promotion is very high for what it is. It's cool, and all, but it's just a plastic bottle with a different cap. It's not glass like the prop with the flip lid and junk.
If they sold them as a way to get money for research that'd be great, but that isn't going to happen. To be honest, at this point in time, Universal has made bank so many times over on this entire franchise, it would have been nice to see them donate some percentage of the profits to research as well.
But when has Comcast ever not stuffed all the money in their pocket?
