Guests get down to serious dancing at Pepsi-Cola Jamaica's staff party.

Remember Quantum Leap, when Sam was transported to different time zones to fix people's unfinished business, all the while being guided by his best friend and hologram Al?

Well, employees of Pepsi-Cola were transported to the 1950s and the future last Saturday without having to do any of the work.

The company hosted its staff party with a time-travel theme at the Morgan's Harbour Hotel.

Guests were greeted at the portal to the past by a 1950s girl fully decked out in a poodle skirt and midriff top. Her male companion was in a white T-shirt and blue jeans with fine details right down to the cigarette box wrapped in his sleeve.

Guests, however, could not resist taking a look at, or even mounting, the intergalactic police's motorcycle before going through the portal. There, the guests were served a variety of dishes buffet style, while drinks flowed. The theme continued with records surrounded by flowers as centrepieces for the tables, a giant prop juke box and guitar and a soda fountain.

Entertainment came from performances by Nickeisha Barnes and One Third of Digicel Rising Stars fame.

The hosts for the evening, Heather Bulgin and Ewan Ridge, Pepsi executives, finally invited the employees to go into the future.

The future was a dance floor with an accompanying bar and dessert station. Details like the bubbling beakers, conical flasks and a massive galaxy of stars brought the future alive. Timeless artiste Leroy Sibbles got the crowd grooving and Chris Martin had other patrons enthralled.
