Be it Clear Pepsi (New Coke) or Stuffed Crust Pizza what is your all time favorite gimmick...

Mine has to be the new Mountain Dew Live Wire, I could not get enough of this stuff up until I went hardcore on the diet a few weeks back.  I hope this truly isn't "Summer 2003" only like the bottle says

Thanks to Cory for the topic idea :-*

I wish stores around me would carry the Mountain Dew Live Wire  :(

My favorite gimmick was the clear Pepsi and Pepsi Max. It still ticks me off that they never lasted long  :'(

I'll do you one better and say the Coors Light twins.

And Bud Light's "Real Men of Genius" radio ads (Previously known as "Real American Heroes" - obviously changed because of 9/11)

They should be, but you know they're on now with the summer version of the song - The one that starts "I love working on my tan, the girl at the taco stand, lots of long weekends and the twins"  (What can I say, its a catchy iingle that just sticks in your head and is easy to learn the words to  ;))

I agree with Mikey on the "Real Men of Genius/American Heroes" ads. Some of them are funny as heck.

I also like the Sobe radio commercials with that "freddie" guy or whatever his name is. The one he does with "the little bunny" cracks me up every time I hear it.

Oh, and Scratch & Sniff. Hasbro really needs to consider this underrated gimmick as a value-added feature to their Star Wars line. (What does a dead Jedi smell like? Find out in 2005!)
