Japanese gamers offered Pepsi-blue Nintendo DS News
DS News by Tom Bramwell
Although several EG staffers are firmly allied to that other evil black liquid Diet Coke, if we were Japanese we'd probably have to consider buying some Pepsi this coming March in order to get our names in the hat for a new Nintendo/Pepsi cross-promotion giving away a rather special-looking blue-tinted Nintendo DS.
According to a report on Game Watch, Pepsi drinkers who send in stickers from Pepsi bottles next month will be entered into a prize draw to win a special Pepsi Blue Nintendo DS, pictured here along with a rather fetching case and some Pepsi headphones.
Other prizes in the draw include Pepsi-flavoured bottle caps, tape rolls and other throwaway items adorned with Mario Bros. characters, which, although we'd be gutted to win them and miss out on the DS, are certainly unique and worthy little commemorative baubles.
You can find more pictures on Game Watch here.

I went through a stage of prefering Coke Light to Diet Coke, but now I don't like it as much. Optimal Diet Coke is a 550ml bottle chilled in an open refridgerator like in shops. My closed fridge makes the coke too cold. It's all pretty much useless when not cold. 1.25l bottles taste better than 2l bottles. Fact. Glass bottle is also very tasty.
550ml DC > Glass Bottle DC > 1.25l DC > 2l DC > 550ml CL > 1.25ml CL > cans

It depends on the water right? They all mix with local water so that is probably why you get regional differences. Northern Ireland used to be the highest consumer per capita in the world IIRC so maybe you should try a can from there.

Pepsi is sugary shite.. pepsi max is chemically shite.
Coke is ok. and Dr Pepper rules.. but that limited edition is utter utter shit. Typical of nintendo to A) Go for big budget sponsorship that has very little to do with their product B) screw up the colour so it doesn't even match at all Nice one N...

"There's a much bigger difference between 'regular' and 'diet' Cola drinks and 'regular' and 'diet' non-Cola drinks, though."
I'd say there's a much bigger difference between regular Irn Bru and the diet version than there is between normal and diet coke. Regular Irn Bru is one of the best mixers *and* hangover drinks ever invented. Diet Irn Bru is a vile tastelesss 'thing'... |

Keep in mind that diet sodas don't taste of "Nutra-Sweet" - that's just the marketing name. The actual artificial sweetener is called Aspartam.
That said, I agree Pepsi Max is the only drinkable "plastic soda". Aspartam should only be used by diabetics; unless I remember things wrong, at least one "non-sugar" sweetener (aspartam or sorbitol) tricks the glands of non-diabetics into producing insulin, thus making you hungry. How "diet" is that? As for tasting the same, try American Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Both taste of the very dominant corn syrup threy are so fond of using. |

Didn't Britney have a big contract with Pepsi a while back?
Pepsi seem to go for the biggest current names, the freshest talent. I find the fact that they're now rubbing shoulders with Nintendo quite good news. Of course, I don't drink Pepsi. But I don't drink Coca Cola either. Actually, I haven't had a proper fizzy drink for nigh on two months... miss Vanilla Coke tho. God, that stuff was addictive.
