Coke Via Cellphone

Coke Via Cellphone 08/19/2004 07:12 PM

So to encourage Japanese people to actually spend 120 yen (about $1.09) on a single can of soda, Coca-Cola today announced the "Cmode 2" vending machine, which allows customers with cellular phones to purchase drinks "cashlessly" one of three ways - two-dimensional barcodes, infrared, and the FeliCa contactless IC system. Though cashless "Cmode" vending machines have been in various places throughout Japan since April of 2002, these are the first vending machines to support contactless IC as a method of transfer.

With drink names like "Qoo," "SCORPION," and "Lovebody," who could resist?

Military Stressed Over Coke Can GPS

Military Stressed Over Coke Can GPS 07/02/2004 08:22 AM

Militar y frets over Coke's phones, GPS: The military is asking soldiers to "examine their Coke cans" before bringing them into meetings. Pepsi is about to take a huge leap in the military market.

There's a new security threat at some of the nation's military bases, and it looks uncannily like a can of Coke.

Specially rigged Coke cans, part of a promotion, contain cell phones and global positioning chips. That has officials at some installations worried that the cans could be used to eavesdrop, and they are instituting protective measures.

Xeni Jardin: HOWTO doc on hacking Coke vending machines by way of the drink selection buttons on the front display. Link (Thanks, Jason Sutton). Mirror one, Mirror two, and Google cache (Thanks, Dan, Jackson Baker and Scott M.)

Update:: Reader Chris Vincent says,

Just thought I'd point out that most of the content on those sites (including the Coke machine article) is verbatim from the Anarchist's Cookbook, a legendary collaborative document that can be found all over the internet. Everything from social engineering to fun explosives to (obviously) Coke machine hacks can be found there.

Another interesting bit of information, this time about Pepsi machines (not from the cookbook, just something I found out about last week):

New Pepsi machines have a "code", a special sequence in which you can push the buttons on the face of the machine, which causes the LED screen to report the number of cans sold and the total cash value. I'm not sure what that code is, and it may be configurable on a per-machine basis. I'm sure somebody out there can shed more light on it than me.

Bollywood Vanilla Coke ad which kicks
ass 05/30/2004 05:44 PM
BoingBoing reader Vishal points us to a spectacularly cheesy Indian TV ad starring yet another one of my fut ure husbands (look, any fella who eschews SMS for pigeon as preferred love-note carrier is alright by me).

Vishal says, "This Ad is really popular in India, and I was surprised to find that the good people at Coke have it online too (RealPlayer). It features one of the hottest young actors in Bollywood, Vivek Oberoi, and features many in-jokes to '70s Bollywood films (note, especially, the lightbulb dress in the 3rd segment, a direct lift from a classic 70's movie)."

Footnote to menswear trendwatchers: take a tip from Vivek, at left -- pink vomit prints are the new black.

Update: BoingBoing reader Berklee totally harshes my mellow by saying, "Excellent choice for a future husband, but you'll have to wait until he's done with Aishwarya Rai, I'm afraid. Meanwhile, I recommend [a 2002 film starring Oberoi titled] Company. Go rent it (or download it) and enjoy this un-Bollywood-like gangster-movie!"

Pepsi

Mid-calorie sodas coming from Coke and
Pepsi 05/05/2004 04:10 AM
Coke and Pepsi are debuting "mid-calorie" drinks that contain a mix of high-fructose corn-syrup and Splenda. These are meant to sit between the hyper-sugared normal stuff and the diet stuff with the funky aftertaste.

The new drinks contain the standard high-fructose corn syrup that sweetens regular soda but in smaller amounts. The corn syrup is supplemented with Splenda, a no-calorie, no-carbohydrate sweetener made from sugar.

The result is a soda with fewer calories than regular but more than no-cal. For instance, Pepsi says a 12-ounce can of Edge has 20 grams each of sugar and carbohydrates, and 70 calories, compared with regular's 41 grams each of sugar and carbohydrates, and 150 calories.
