Mt. Dew Xbox One

Mountain Dew has always been associated with video games so the Xbox One/Mt. Dew partnership shouldn't come as a surprise.  I've never been a big video gamer myself though.  That's why I posed this one by some real games.  Does that sound patronizing or condescending?  Yeah, it does.  But the picture is pretty clever, you must admit.

Cranberry Sprite

Well they finally did it!  Coca-Cola finally got on the bandwagon and released a cranberry soda for the holidays.  Cranberry Sprite will be here for the 2013 holiday season and I already have the can. I am on the look out for the Sprite Zero version, which so far I have been unable to locate at my local Wal-Mart; I might need to check some more upscale vendors.

I know Sierra Mist and Canada Dry will be releasing Cranberry versions this holiday season as well. I will be hunting for those too.  This Sprite however I feel is unique because this is its inaugural year. Hopefully we will be seeing it for many more holidays to come.

Dr. Pepper Scholarships

Dr. Pepper unrolled their scholarship cans again this year.  I have several of them, but I decided to show off my man Garrett Booker first.  The lad won $100,000 scholarship from Dr. Pepper.  I would be raising my fist in triumph too if that was me on a Dr. Pepper can.

I like that I have the $100,000 winner.  None of the others I found on Dr. Pepper cans this year won so much from the soft drink industry.  That makes me feel like sorta of winner too.  Like the can is just slightly more collectible than the others.

Dieter's Ginger-Ale

This past summer I was driving down to a meeting away from home.  On a lark I stopped at Save-A-Lot and picked up a cheap twelve pack of soda just for the can.

Yup.  I got ginger-ale, that good old type of soda that even when you are an adult still makes you remember staying home from school sick to watch cartoons on the couch.  Dieter's tasted fine, although a bit watered down and tad spicy, like your brother dumped some oregano in your glass and it melted the ice cubes or something when you weren't looking.  Oh well, at least the can is dapper. I like that red dot...it's like an eco-version of the Japanese flag.
