Famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin announced today that the next time you reach UP for a can of Diet 7UP, newly reformulated with SPLENDA(R) Brand Sweetener, you could be reaching for the stars. In partnership with the X PRIZE Foundation, creators of the $10 million ANSARI X PRIZE, the Diet 7UP Free Ticket to Space sweepstakes takes off this week.
will award one lucky consumer the chance to fly to the edge of suborbital space on an FAA-approved commercial space flight.
The sweepstakes is supported by a groundbreaking national TV ad campaign filmed in an authentic zero-gravity environment, aboard G-Force One(TM) -- a plane that simulates the unique experience of weightlessness. The ad, created by Young & Rubicam, will debut on June 13th to introduce the light and refreshing taste of Diet 7UP sweetened with SPLENDA Brand Sweetener -- a taste that won't weigh you down.

Art Bell ping!
Space + mutant causing chemicals! ;)
First Diet RC then Pepsi One followed by Diet Coke with Splenda.
This is wonderful. Splenda tastes more like sugar than corn syrup does. These new sodas with Splenda are a lot more like the sugared sodas that we grew up with than the stuff of the last 2 decades.
Is this with Virgin Galactic?
Almost like getting Coke in Mexico then. I miss the old sugared stuff. Splenda is a great no-cal substitute.
Yep...
I'm much too innocent for that. I meant the Coca-Cola that is sold in Mexico. Sugar is cheaper than corn syrup down there.
Thank you!
That is why I prefer Diet Rc... I can no longer drink Diet Pepsi...
Diet Rite is Spenda-sweetened as well. Don't know of any Splenda-sweetened root beer yet--does anyone?
I might just have to switch off drinking Diet Dr Pepper for a few months...
Anybody but me see this and instantly think "Have Spacesuit Will Travel"? Are the 11th-to-hundredth prizes surplused space suits?
Because of the prize, or because of SPLENDA?
I can't wait for them to come out with Mountain Dew made with Splenda.
Mountain Dew is the nectar of the gods for those who hate coffee.
But be forewarned...
