First of all, Pepsi?!? Ewh!

I presume that you've already "popped" the keys off and cleaned underneath with a cotton bud or something. If not, try that. Other than that though, I'd imagine that it would get better over time.

but this is one of these macbook-esque keyboards can the keys pop out of it?

and pepsi is nice, although coke is nicer.
