PepsiCo, the parent company of Mountain Dew, has long recognized the beverage’s association with CoD culture, dating back to the days of the original Modern Warfare trilogy. From then till now, Mountain Dew has maintained ties with the Call of Duty franchise, including collaborations and promotions.
In the Super Bowl commercial, Aubrey Plaza promotes Mountain Dew’s Baja Blast, with Scump making a brief but memorable cameo. The CoD legend appears as himself, reacting to Plaza’s character seemingly defeating him in a game, complete with a live stream chat overlay.
