GTA 6's Pindayho cerveza appears to be Rockstar's parody of Corona beer
Rockstar Games is at it again, exercising its satirical biceps, and this time it may be taking aim at your beachside tipple of choice. Seen in the GTA 6 trailer, Pindayho cerveza is an imaginary Mexican-style beer that bears a suspicious resemblance to Corona. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Complete from gold foil neck to recognizable color scheme, fans feel Rockstar is being sarcastic about the legendary lager with its customary mix of detail and irreverence. Pindayho beer could be Rockstar's homage to Corona Though Rockstar hasn't officially said anything, the similarity is difficult to ignore. The fictional Pindayho cerveza is featured prominently in the trailer, its packaging looking exactly like Corona Extra or Modelo Especial, complete with a gold neck foil, transparent glass, and sun-tinted coloring. Even the name sounds like a snarky shot: "Pindayho" is derived from the Spanish profanity "pendejo," keeping with the series' mean-spirited sense of humor. Via r/GTA6 Reddit What's noteworthy isn't only the name, but the level of detail. The texture and bubble-filled consistency of the bottle, and the position of the label, all indicate Rockstar's ongoing dedication to creating a realistic, immersive environment. It's not the developer's first time making fun of real-world consumer culture either, previous games have included parody brands such as Sprunk (Sprite), eCola (Coca-Cola), and Burger Shot (Burger King). A history of parody brands in GTA GTA has long utilized fictional businesses to add depth to its satirical narrative, and Pindayho cerveza slots right into that model. The beer appears in convenience store fridges and perhaps even bars throughout the new Vice City-themed map. It's not a throwaway prop, just another aspect of Rockstar's heavily detailed world-building. Source: Rockstar Games In past games, fictional brands have reached into radio commercials or billboards, and even into missions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Whether Pindayho will receive the same treatment remains to be seen, but its inclusion so early suggests it may be more than simple background filler. Pindayho beer is probably another stroke of genius by Rockstar, a tongue-in-cheek reference to Corona beer that's already causing online buzz. Whether it's the next Sprunk or just a visual easter egg, one thing is certain: GTA 6 is raising the bar for deep, funny, and hyper-real open-world design. Also Read:

Taking to Instagram, content creator Priyam Saraswat shared a video showcasing the ultra-luxurious 4-BHK marble house owned by businessman Anand Prakash Chouksey. The clip begins with Mr Saraswat asking if the house is indeed their residence and a replica of the Taj Mahal. The couple confirms it with a smile, following which the content creator asks if the home is dedicated to Mr Chouksey's wife. "Absolutely, it is 100% dedicated to her. And our love stands strong with us," Mr Chouksey replies. The businessman then explains that the house has been constructed using Makrana marble - the same material used in the iconic monument located in Agra. "The original Taj Mahal's dimensions in metres have been replicated in feet here. It's one-third the size of the original monument," Mr Chouksey says. Sharing the video on Instagram, Mr Saraswat wrote, "This stunning home is situated close to Indore in MP and built as a symbol of propagating love amongst all. A majestic structure with one of a kind marble work from inside. The best part is it's built inside a school founded by @ This truly is a remarkable house and such a great purpose." Watch the video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priyam Saraswat (@priyamsaraswat) According to the BBC, the house cost about Rs 2 crore to build.

This is the one.... Absolutely loved the way uncle and family described the house... So many emotional connect throughout," expressed a third user. "More people are fans of his humbleness than of his house. Despite owning a mansion grand enough to rival the Taj Mahal, he remains grounded and kind to everyone he meets. Wealth hasn't changed him ..... It's rare to see someone carry such greatness with so much grace," commented another. "Wow! What thoughts the owner has! The entrance of the house reminds him of his humble beginnings and never to forget! That's a great lesson," wrote one user. "Incredible! This is the craziest dedication to love in this day and age," said another.

WWE Hall of Famer slams TKO over Roman Reigns, Jey Uso treatment
Image via WWE W WE legend Rikishi has launched a scathing attack on the company's creative direction, accusing them of disrespecting his family's legacy - especially Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. The outspoken Hall of Famer voiced his frustrations on his Off The Top podcast, addressing recent decisions that he believes undermine the contributions of The Bloodline. From rumors of a pay cut for Reigns to Jey Uso's short-lived title reign, Rikishi believes WWE is making a 'big mistake' in how it's treating members of the Anoa'i dynasty - a family widely regarded as the greatest in pro wrestling history. Rikishi defends The Bloodline's legacy Rikishi's outrage was sparked by rumors suggesting WWE and its parent company, TKO, are considering reducing Roman Reigns' salary during his current break from TV. For Rikishi, such talk is deeply disrespectful, considering the impact Reigns has had on WWE's success in recent years. Standing On Business!- Rikishi Fatu - Off The Top - Episode 63 'Do the math - WrestleMania, Raw, SmackDown - who's on those posters? Roman Reigns. Jey Uso. Trinity Fatu. That's the Bloodline,' Rikishi said. 'You want to move on, fine. But don't erase our history. We've given our soul to this business.' He added, 'We've never been the problem, we've always been the source. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Short title reign fuels frustration The controversy escalated after Jey Uso lost his WWE World Heavyweight Championship to Gunther on the June 9 episode of RAW, just 51 days after winning it at WrestleMania 41. Fans were upset, and so was Rikishi. AND NEW! | Gunther dethrones Jey Uso for World Heavyweight Title: Raw highlights, June 9, 2025 He criticized WWE's writers for failing to support Jey's title run, saying they should be 'fired' for not being able to build around a rising champion. 'Would you have done this to John Cena or Randy Orton?' Rikishi asked. 'You give the title, and then give them nothing to work with? That's not fair.' Rikishi also pointed to past instances, like Jey's short Intercontinental Title reign - to show a pattern of what he calls missed opportunities for his son. He believes Jey's rise was earned through hard work, fan support, and years of dedication. With WWE seemingly moving in a new direction, questions loom over the future of The Bloodline. Fans and family alike are watching closely. Rikishi's fiery comments have ignited public debate, and it remains to be seen whether WWE will course-correct - or keep sidelining one of its most iconic families.
