In Britain the Sun comes out every day – really

By Stephen Foster on February 22, 2012

PepsiCo and UK agency AMV/BBDO have invented a cartoon duo, Firefingers and Icefist, to promote new Doritos Fire (claimed to be the hottest Dorito yet) and Pepsi Max Citrus Freeze (just the stuff to cool you down afterwards).
