News: Subway - "Free" Cookie Day - February 14, 2011

Subway is offering a free cookie with any purchase on this upcoming Monday, February 14th i.e. Valentine's Day. Besides having to buying something, you'll also have to print out this coupon. I don't know... do you really need a coupon for a cookie that normally costs 50 cents?

Beyond the inconvenience of printing out a coupon, it's not bad to pick up a free cookie with your morning coffee or if you're stopping by at Subway for lunch anyway especially since virtually all their footlong subs are $5 this month.

News: New Diet Pepsi Skinny Can

Introducing the waifish runway model of the soda can world: behold the new Diet Pepsi Skinny Can!

Aimed at the ladies, the new can will be appearing at New York's Fall 2011 Fashion Week running from February 10 to 17.

Sporting a taller, skinnier look in sleek redesigned silver can, I have to say the new can looks pretty good. In case you're wondering, just the can is new, the diet Pepsi formula remains the same as does the volume (12 ounces).

I've always wonder why this never happened sooner. It always made good visual marketing sense for diet drinks to come in slimmer containers. I do wonder if the slimmer cans will end up costing more at retail though a la mini Coke.
