Pepsi Turns To The Force And The Dark Side
Pepsi Turns To The Force And The Dark Side for STAR WARS: EPISODE III Revenge of the Sith Promotions
STAR WARS' BELOVED YODA LEADS PEPSI ONLINE SWEEPSTAKES WITH MORE THAN $1 MILLION IN PRIZES UP FOR GRABS
Darth Dew Slurpee to be Available at Participating 7-Eleven® Stores for Limited Time
PURCHASE, N.Y. - March 24, 2005 - In conjunction with the highly-anticipated May 19, 2005 release of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, Pepsi-Cola North America today announced that it will run an online promotion and a new Diet Pepsi commercial, both centered around everyone's favorite Jedi Master-Yoda. In addition, Pepsi will partner with 7-Eleven, Inc. to offer Darth Dew Slurpee and four limited-edition 3-D cups at participating stores nationwide.
"Call Upon Yoda"
Beginning April 18, Pepsi drinkers and Star Wars fans have three ways to play the "Call Upon Yoda" instant-win sweepstakes -- online, by phone, or by text messaging -- to see if they've won one of ten $100,000 grand prizes. Other prizes include Star Wars toys and games from Hasbro and Lego and free 2-liter bottles of Pepsi Lime. The sweepstakes will also bring fans closer to their favorite characters, Yoda, Darth Vader, C3PO and R2-D2 via unique Web-based interactive games and phone and text messaging programs.
Here's how the "Call Upon Yoda" sweepstakes works:
1. Get a code featured on 12 or 24-packs of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Diet Mountain Dew or Sierra Mist.
2. Register at www.calluponyoda.com.
3. Enter your code via phone, online or by text messaging.
4. If Yoda responds, then Yoda will tell you which prize you may have won. If you are not a winner, either Darth Vader or C3PO and R2-D2 will let you know that you should try again.
Yoda will encourage fans to achieve success via the Jedi Training Games and the Intergalactic Translator at the www.calluponyoda.com Web site.

New Diet Pepsi Commercial
Yoda also stars in a new Diet Pepsi commercial called "Jedi Mind Trick." The spot is scheduled to begin airing in May and features the same award-winning special effects that ILM creates for Star Wars. Set in a diner, Yoda sits at the counter and uses the Force to try to get a Diet Pepsi to drink with his meal. A special appearance by the famous wookiee, Chewbacca, ends the spot with typical Pepsi humor. The commercial was created by BBDO New York.
Darth Dew Slurpee
On the dark side, Darth Dew Slurpee will be available at participating 7-Eleven stores nationwide during the month of May. Introduced last summer, Mountain Dew Pitch Black is the popular limited-edition soda that combines the great taste of Mountain Dew with a blast of black grape flavor. Darth Dew Slurpee is modeled after Mountain Dew Pitch Black and will be served in four different Episode III collectible 3-D cups with lids shaped like the head of Darth Vader.

Typical Pepsi humor, eh? So I guess we'll see Chewie destroy a bunch of Coca-Cola products and then decide to drink a Pepsi?
::sigh:: Star Wars is cool, but I can't stand Pepsi's advertising...
On a related note...did anyone see George Lucas on 60 Minutes a few weeks ago? He said Episode III will be the first Star Wars movie to have a PG-13 rating, because he doesn't want to edit out some of the more violent scenes. Awesome. :-)

GUITARMEISTER!
- Sorry about the mistaken identity about the amp! LOL! Yeah the JSX Head is absolutely fantastic! It is so versatile, the tones you can get out of it are so diverse. We bought a Marsall 1960! angled cab, is working out great with the JSX! We got the Head on a special deal that came with a signed Joe CD, and was actually a lot cheaper than the RRP too so we were pleased! That sucks about that music store! The amp then the Jem? Actually funny you should say that, I saw a really beaten up old floral Jem in a shop in Denmark Street, gorgeous it was, but I thought it would be there for ages, -guess what, when I went back it was gone. Who the hell is this crazy Steve Vai fan who goes round buying all his Jem guitars anyway? LOL!!! Well I envy you going to see Vai soon! Hope you enjoy it (well of course you will!)

Hy everyone at Satchland,
estrela – it´s the same problem with the salaries here in Austria, a lot of companies try to pay less than they would have to, ´cause they know most of the employees accept it (most of these employees are happy to have a job and so they accept it to get less money) ..... :-(((
“...In my whole family just me and my son enjoy Joe... :-((((!” – I think that´s not too bad, at least there are 2 Satch fans in your family, in my family I´m the only one who likes and listens to Satch Rock, Satch Blues, Satch Boogie,...... a lot (and I have a brother and two sisters, not to forget my parents)
LucySorets – Muy bien! Gracias! And I hope I can take spanish lessons again the next days after easter... :-)
BigBunny – hy, is your neck still sore?
Zinc Master - IT IS SNOWING AGAIN !!!! AHHHHHHHHHH !!!
I AM SO READY FOR SPRING AND NO MORE SNOW !! - Poor Darc Zinc Master......so the force will be with you ..... to send away that crappy weather!!!!
Song of the day: Prodigy – Weather experience
To all: Happy easter!!!!
I wish you all a relaxing easter-weekend.............. keep rockin´...... tune ;-)

Yes, I had a GREAT DAY... thank you! It was my pleasure to send you all that stuff my man. I THANK YOU for listening to my CD and enjoying the music. You don't know how good it makes me feel, to hear your are listening to it! I don't really care if it sells or not, in fact I'm not selling any of my music ...past and present on Hostbaby anymore. I just want people like you to hear it and give it a chance.
I hope to finish putting the "Tribute to Joe" cover song CD on my website today or tomorrow. It's about 16 songs out there for everyone to hear "ALL FREE". So please keep checking my site and enjoy Joe's musical tribute "Spizazz Style". I will try to post a message on T2J as soon as it's available. I love to Rock to Joe's music and somehow try to do it justice! He is a teacher (Master) and I'm a student.
Rock on SW! HAPPY EASTER too!
L8r,
Spizazz
