Pepsi Max: the inspiration for Mepsi Pax

Mepsi Pax is a joke reference to the popular cola flavoured drink Pepsi Max. The term originated from the video games Conker's Bad Fur Day for Nintendo 64 and its remake Conker: Live & Reloaded for Microsoft’s Xbox. Mepsi Pax is an example of British video game humour, and is one of several video game memes.

The Mepsi Pax quote comes early in the game, when Conker finds himself blocked by a gang of dung beetles and a bizarre talking scarecrow called Birdy comes along to help him. Birdy tells Conker how he can get past the dung beetles:

Birdy: Right, you need a manual. Otherwise… No. doesn’t work. It’ll cost you!
Conker: How much?
Birdy: Eh, got any Mepsi Pax?
Conker: What?
Birdy: Doesn't matter... actually eh, I think uh, well em, ten dollar. Long time. You love manual long time.


Mepsi Pax is sometimes erroneously quoted as maxi pad (a sanitary towel), most notably on IMDB's "memorable quotes" section for this game.
