Take That, Pepsi

Pepsi may have snagged headlines with its product integration on a SNL skit-vertisement, but Coca-Cola is going the app route.
The cola is hooking up with iPhone for a new version of spin the bottle. After downloading the free app from the iTunes store, users spin a Coke bottle likeness on their phone.
"Coke is about bringing people together," Freddie Laker, a digital exec who helped create the app, told Adweek. "Living the 'Coke Side of Life' is about youth culture and sitting around playing spin the bottle epitomizes that."
