The limited edition labels are on three Jones Soda flavors including Blue Bubblegum, Green Apple and Fufu Berry.
Peter van Stolk, C.E.O. of Jones Soda Co. stated, "Nintendo targets the same teen demographic as Jones Soda, which makes this a perfect cross-marketing promotion."
To participate in this promotion, you must collect five Jones Soda bottle caps with letters that spell out J.O.N.E.S. and submit the caps for a chance to win the Grand Prize or the First Prize.
There will be one Grand Prize winner who will receive a flat screen TV, a Nintendo GameCube(TM) video game system, two Nintendo DS video game systems, three Nintendo GameCube games, two Nintendo DS video games as well as a chance to win $25,000 in cash. There will also be 75 first prize winners who will each win a Nintendo DS video game system.
Winners will be selected, from among all eligible entries received in a random drawing to be conducted on or around November 15, 2005 by The American Sweepstakes & Promotion Co., an independent judging organization.
Individuals will also have an opportunity to win instant prizes if they find the "instant win" caps.

Currently to the west at college, and it's here, too. Anyway, you just have to look hard for it sometimes. I found it in Target yesterday, but when I'm farther east I'll need to look in more specialized places, like World Market or Barnes & Noble (coffee area, coffee shops may have it but I know I've seen it there).

However, this is rather awesome. Jones is cheap (like 79 cents a bottle), so I might start drinking more of it, in lieu of the whole "Nintendo Sponsor" thing.

I think we have a Jones employee in our midst. =P

Nope, just one crazy nut who loves Jones! And about the advertise thing, this is what it says on the back of each bottle:
"Ya gotta make a lining somehow; we chose the beverage world. Good old soda with a twist. No hidden meanings, no billion dollar ad campaigns. At Jones, we want you to buy a lot of soda and recycle the bottles. The labels are kinda like our minds - always changing. Run with the little guy... create some change."
I could recite it in my sleep! The cans don't have anything on them, they're pretty drab to look at, but the soda inside is so... so... *chugs a Barry Lemonade*
