This is the paragraph I typically use to announce another contest here on BevReview.com. I usually write something witty and exciting. But let's be honest, you really want to know how to get free stuff, right? 
This time, it's all about Pepsi Natural, which we first talked about back in March with our "Coming Soon" preview of the beverage. It was released to ten regional markets: Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, and New York. BevReview HQ is here in Chicago, so we got the chance to easily write a Pepsi Natural review.
You could win all these Pepsi Natural prizes!
But what about those of you who haven't had the chance to try this natural cola? Are you destined to drive long distances or use the powers of eBay to get your fix? Not if we can help it, which is why we're excited to launch a contest where you can win a Pepsi Natural "Au Natural" Giveaway Pack. This is all made possible thanks to the folks at Pepsi, who wanted me to let you know about a new site they launched called PepsiNaturalNews.com (yes, that was a commercial message… who do you think is providing the free stuff?). If you poke around in the News section there, you just might see a link to your favorite beverage review site (um, that's hopefully us!)
The "Au Natural" Giveaway Pack includes:
- Pepsi Natural Reusable Canvas Bag, made from 100% organic cotton
- Yoga Mat
- Yoga Mat Tote
- Pepsi Natural Canvas Hat, made from 100% organic cotton
- 4-Pack of Pepsi Natural
So not only do you get some Pepsi Natural to quench your thirst, but you can also look stylin' with your hat and tote bag… while you do the yoga thing. ("Do, or do not… there is no try" — oh wait, that's Yoda!)
Here are the Contest Rules:
- Reply to this post and mention if you've tried Pepsi Natural. If so, tell us what you thought of the drink!
- Don't forget to include your e-mail address (which will be hidden) so you can be contacted should you win

III – Better for you in that it could be organic and unprocessed.
3. Alright, will do.

I LOVE Pepsi Natural. It was being sold in our local Costco, even though we're in Central California, and when we went to stock up on it, it was sold out. The taste between Pepsi and Pepsi Natural is like comparing root beer to sarsaparilla. It tastes similar, but both Pepsi Natural and sarsaparilla are much better than their siblings. Now I wish PepsiCo would just hurry up and release it nationwide! I don't normally drink sodas (green iced tea-aholic), but this is one soda I have been looking for, and what's funny is that it was an impulse buy.
2. Things I think of with natural. Nudism (I'm a member of AANR), babies, animals.
