The headine says "For modern people, modern taste...Pepsi-Cola refreshes without filling" and the text mentions the "slim, lithe youngsters of today" and gives much of the credit to the lightness to Pepsi. I don't know what Pepsi has done diffferent since then but something has changed because many of those slim, lithe youngsters must have been eaten by some of the people of today.

This ad has a drawing of a couple, nicely dressed, and sitting around sharing glasses of Pepsi-Cola from an ice-filled container. The ad says that "In tune with modern taste, Pepsi-Cola refreshes without filling". The ad then says that "There's a new pattern of living. There's a new look to today's people. Men are leaner, women trimmer-waisted. Fashions are more revealing, allow more ease of movement, more casual comfort, than the tighter, stiffer, stuffier vestments of Grandpa's day. It's a handsome world and, largely, it's the reward we earn by our more sensible, more wholesome diets. Today we eat far lighter. We shun the over-rich, the over-sweet, the over-filling - as Grandpa never did. And this is the modern trend with which Pepsi-Cola has steadily kept pace. Today's Pepsi is light, dry (not too sweet), reduced in calories. It refreshes without filling. Enjoy Pepsi in the familiar economy size that serves two people or the smaller, single-drink bottle. It's the modern...light refreshment. Have a Pepsi".

The text continues by asking you if you "Notice today's active people" you will notice that they are, more than likely, drinking Pepsi.
