This official Fanta Orange mobile game lets you ride a roller coaster for drink coupons

Fanta is going through a rebrand, and as part of the changes, the Coca-Cola-owned beverage has launched a mobile game.

Dubbed “Fanta Ride n Sip,” the game is only playable from mobile browsers and has you controlling trying to prevent a cup of Fanta Orange from spilling on a rollercoaster.

Fanta mobile game

Yes, you read that right. In practice, this means you’ll have to tilt your phone left and right to keep a pointer within a constantly moving green metre.

All in all, it’s a pretty basic game, but it does net you a coupon at the end depending on your score. In my case, I got a voucher for $0.75 off a 500mL bottle through the Checkout 51 app. If you, too, want to ride the Fanta Coaster, visit fantaridensip.ca.

Renders show that Coca-Cola is working on a new phone

It looks like Coca-Cola is making a new smartphone, according to the well-known leaker Ice Universe.

Reportedly, the company will partner with another smartphone brand for their first-ever Cola Phone. However, it’s unclear who the Coke brand will partner with.

It’s unclear if this is right, but replies to the post indicate that this handset might be a rebranded Realme 10 Pro, which is a mid-range phone. This also features a 6.7-inch 120Hz IPS LCD screen with a Snapdragon 695 chipset, comes in 6/8/12GB of RAM variants, and sports a 108-megapixel primary shooter and a 5,000mAh battery. But it’s unclear if this is that phone.

This isn’t the first time a brand has worked together with a phone company, as we’ve seen Pokémon-themed Galaxy Z Flip handsets, a Dragon Ball Z Realme GT Neo 3 and even a Naruto-themed Realme GT Neo 3.

Marc Jacobs reveals Diet Coke cans

Marc Jacobs has unveiled his Diet Coke can designs.

The fashion designer – who was named the creative director for the soft drink for 2013 – has revealed three stylized cans which pay homage to fashion trends in three different eras, the ’80s, ’90s and ’00s, to mark Diet Coke’s 30 year anniversary in Europe.

The cans are each adorned with a different pattern and a model representative of the era. The ’80s can features a flurry of bowties with a chic female figure wearing a tuxedo, while the ’90s can is styled with pinks and purples as a fashionable woman poses in a bustier dress, stiletto heels and a trilby hat. Finally, the ’00s can accentuates modern trends with a stylish female in monochrome stripes featured on a can that is patterned with red polka dots.

Marc – who also appears shirtless in the ad campaign – previously told WWD that the newly designed cans and bottles will be designed "whimsical and feminine", explaining: "We wanted it to be colorful and fun."

The newly designed Diet Coke cans will appear in stores in 11 European countries next month including the UK, France and Belgium.

As well as launching his Diet Coke design, the busy fashion designer closed New York Fashion Week last night (14.02.13) and earned particular praise for the ’60s and ’70s inspired make-up and Joan Jett-style wigs worn by the models.

Make-up artist Francois Nars said: "We often reference that period, but we do it our own way – it’s never a copy.

"Marc’s girls always look decadent. They’re the cool girls."

Marc Jacobs named Diet Coke creative director

Marc Jacobs has been named Diet Coke’s new creative director.

The fashion designer will follow in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier by designing the packaging for the soft drink to celebrate its 30th anniversary in Europe.

Marc told WWD that the newly designed cans and bottles will be designed "whimsical and feminine", explaining: "We wanted it to be colorful and fun."

The first Diet Coke cans featuring the fashion guru’s designs will appear in stores in 11 European countries, including the UK and France, next month. There will be three different designs and each artwork will pay homage to a different decade – the ’80s, ’90s and ’00s – in Diet Coke’s 30 year history in the continent through themes of female empowerment, fashion illustrations and repetitive prints.

The 49-year-old designer will also star in a campaign shot by Stephane Sednaoui, appearing shirtless in a photo booth-style pictorial.

He said: "I think glamour and sex sells just about everything.

"I still think it’s hysterical people want me to take my shirt off. You know, I’m going to be 50 in two months, so I guess I should be glad. It feels like the decade of me taking my shirt off."

Designer Coke from Karl Lagerfeld

Iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld is branching out from the world of fashion to create three limited-edition Diet Coke bottles, reports Female First.

Lagerfeld’s 2011 bottle collection, his second in as many years, includes three different designs in pink and white. Each bottle is meant to match one of the puppets featured in the latest Diet Coke advertising campaign – Bernadette, Eleanor or Irene.

Bernadette’s bottle is adorned with a smattering of pink polka dots, while Eleanor’s is wrapped in pink swirls. Irene, the rocker of the group, gets a bottle decorated with a brushed silver studs.

The Diet Coke Limited Edition Collection by Karl Lagerfeld will hit shelves this summer, available individually and in a collector’s three-pack, as part of the brand’s Love It Light campaign.

"I love this bottle, but it’s time for a new one," said Lagerfeld of his 2010 design. "Actually I want to do three bottles. I loved what we did last year but I will love 2011 even more. I’m delighted about this collaboration."

"It’s exciting for me because I love the idea and as everybody knows, I drink Diet Coke and nothing else, night and day. It was pure pleasure to do a campaign with people I like and for a product I love."

The Chanel creative director credits his 2001 crash diet of stewed vegetables and Diet Coke for helping him lose 90 pounds.

Coke and Pepsi ingredient linked to cancer

The ingredient responsible for giving Coke and Pepsi their signature dark brown color may be a carcinogen, reports the Daily Mail.

"The caramel coloring used in Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and other foods is contaminated with two cancer-causing chemicals and should be banned," says a statement from American health lobby group the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

According to the CSPI report, the caramel coloring used in the cola is made by sugars reacting to ammonia and sulfites when placed under high pressure and temperature, which also creates two byproduct substances, 2-MI and 4-MI, thought to cause cancer.

CSPI is now petitioning America’s Food and Drug Administration to do something about the use of these additives.

"Carcinogenic colorings have no place in the food supply, especially considering that their only function is a cosmetic one," said CSPI executive director Michael F Jacobson.

Earlier today (February 17), a Coca-Cola spokesperson denied these claims. "Our beverages are completely safe. CSPI’s statement irresponsibly insinuates that the caramel used in our beverages is unsafe and maliciously raises cancer concerns among consumers," he said. "Studies show that the caramel we use does not cause cancer."

Coca-Cola Announces Can Smaller Size

Coca-Cola company announced a new format for their popular canned soft drink.

In order to help consumers make healthier choices, Coke will be available in 7.5 ounce cans in December with only 90 calories, 50 less than the 12 ounce format.

This is an alternative to those people who are concerned about calories but still love the taste of soda. A little treat without feeling guilty.

However, it is not recommended to drink two cans, as then you would surpass the 12 ounce format and consume 180 calories. The mini size does not encourage more consumption, as is often the case with smaller quantities.

Jack White Peeved with Coca-Cola

The singer from the White Stripes and the Raconteurs is not thrilled with the idea of Coca-Cola using his song, Another Way to Die, for one of its advertisements.

The song was a duet recorded with Alicia Keys, which was designated as the theme song for the next James Bond film and will also be used to promote Coke Zero, being renamed Coke Zero Zero 7 for the occasion.

Jack White’s team didn’t waste time in publishing a press release saying that he never wanted one of his songs to be used in the ad. The statement read, "Jack White was commissioned by Sony Pictures to write a theme song for the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. Any other use of the song is based on decisions made by others, not by Jack White."
