Title
The title for this movie doesn't really seem to fit with the movie itself.
"Surf's Up" would have made more sense or "Whoa Daddy".
Were/Are these names taken?
Anyways, it was entertaining!

This movie will be on TCM in September. Check the schedule.

shareThat was Pepsi-Cola's slogan--and song--in the 1960s. It was sung to the tune of "Makin' Whoopee"--"You've got the right one...The modern light one...Now it's Pepsi...For those who think young". Maybe the title was a form of product placement?
shareI think you're right - Pam Tiffin clearly and distinctly ordered a Pepsi at the Silver Palms near the beginning of the movie. (I also noticed the Baskin-Robbins logo prominently displayed a few minutes later.) Too bad so much of this film is so dull - I'm surprised that Pepsi thought that this would be good for their image!
Such blatant product placement was still rare in the early 1960s, so these were pretty obvious. Still, it does kind of add to the realism at times, instead of having fake logos and products hanging around. And people do say, "I'll have a Pepsi" once in awhile in real life. It's too bad that the product placement schtick is so ridiculously overdone in contemporary films.
