“Check-Out” via TBWA/Chiat/Day Los Angeles shows a Coke Zero truck driver getting caught buying Pepsi Max, echoing the classic 1996 Super Bowl ad called "Security Camera," in which a camera catches a Coke delivery man trying to get a can of Pepsi. (Not to be confused with Coca-Cola's very different "Security Camera" ad of 2013's Super Bowl XLVII.) The solo 2012 spot was a scaled-down presence for PepsiMax, which ran three Super Bowl ads in 2011.
