Why it worked
The video uses a high-energy, competitive physical challenge that is visually satisfying and easy to understand without needing any audio.
Summary
Two men compete in a race to climb a staircase by placing bottles on each step. They use the bottles to create a path as they ascend, with one person using orange-capped bottles and the other using green-capped bottles.

Product placement
Pepsi: appears as a logo on the plastic crates holding the bottles. Removing it would not change the video, as the crates are merely containers for the bottles used in the stunt.
