Pepsi to Kick Off NFL Cola

Pepsi is putting a familiar twist on its core brands. "Pepsi Lemon NFL Kickoff" colas will hit shelves on Aug. 11. The limited-time-only, lemon-flavored soda will be available in both diet and regular until November. A Pepsi rep confirmed the details of the pending launch.

Pepsi is no stranger to lemon-flavored cola. Its Pepsi Twist colas debuted in 2000 and were discontinued two years ago. PepsiCo, as well as Coca-Cola, have shied away from full-time line extensions in favor of a less risky in-and-out strategy.Most recently, PepsiCo has introduced Sierra Mist Undercover Orange (in conjunction with the movie Get Smart). Last year, it trotted out Pepsi Summer Mix, Mountain Dew Game Fuel (tying in with Halo 3) and Sierra Mist Lemon Squeeze.

The new product will endorse the current Pepsi Stuff promotion. Each cap of specially marked Pepsi NFL Kickoff will feature a code worth double Pepsi Stuff points.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model

BMW just unveiled its latest design philosophy — via a radical concept touted as the "game changer" for the "development of tomorrow's mobility," the new concept centers on the GINA principle, for Geometry and Functions in "N" Adaptions.

The first translation of the GINA philosophy into physical being is demonstrated in the Light Visionary Model concept. The only specs that may be familiar are the car's realistic 8-cylinder powertrain package residing in a roadster built from an aluminum space-frame chassis with two double tailpies and 20-in. alloy wheels at the corners. It is skinned by four large pieces of flexible material that can stretch and contract based on a number of substructures that can move about on the chassis with electro and electrohydraulic controls.

The fabric that covers the Visionary's body is constructed from waterproof and temperature-resistant mesh netting on the outer layer, supported by a flexible metal- wire structure underneath to maintain the skin's tension and smoothness.

3. It began life in South Africa; an ex-Unilever chemist from Durban started it in 1949. The name of it was chosen by its creator as a spin on the word "lanolin," a key ingredient.

Print adverts used copy such as "Share the secret of a younger looking you".
