Pepsi Pulls Pickup-Lines App

Pepsi’s Amp Up Before You Score? There’s no longer an app for that.

The beverage maker discontinued its controversial iPhone application, which offered pickup lines for 24 different types of women, AdAge.com reported.

Pepsi said in a statement:

We have decided to discontinue the Amp iPhone application. We’ve listened to a variety of audiences and determined this was the most appropriate course of action.
