Story highlights Madonna's Pepsi ad was pulled in 1989

She posted a photo of herself with a can of Coke

(CNN) Madonna knows a little something about pulled Pepsi ads.

In 1989, she starred in a Pepsi commercial that was pulled because of controversy over the music video for "Like a Prayer," which featured burning crosses and showed Madonna kissing a black actor portraying a saint.

She reminded the world of this bit of pop culture history Wednesday when she posted on Instagram about the disastrous Pepsi ad featuring Kendall Jenner.

"When you wake up and realize that S*** just really doesn't make sense," Madonna wrote in her caption. "Side Note: My Pepsi commercial was pulled 30 years ago because I was kissing a black saint! #ironic."
