Pepsi took the occasion of Sar Wars Day and International Firefighters Day Wednesday to repair and restock the beverage vending machine in Pittsburgh that has been advertising "The Phantom Menace" since 1999, according to a cbsnews.com report.

The machine, located at the Mt. Washington fire station on Virginia Street, has become a local tourist attraction due to the image of young Anakin Skywalker advertising the 1999 movie release.

The company also donated $10,000 to the Fire Station 27.
