TMNT Crush soda
 
http://www.crushsoda.com/

Quote:

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are BACK on the big screen. Crush is harnessing a little hero power of its own this summer with collector cans and a NEW flavor, Berry Punch. Just for Leonardo.
Keep an eye out for codes on Crush packaging to get discounts on TMNT movie tickets OR win free tickets.
I'm sure you guys know about Crush...it's most iconic variety is Orange crush soda (a personal favorite of mine!). Well, Crush is partnering with TMNT and has an all new promotion for the movie! This includes TMNT collector cans, branded bottles, chances to win free movie tickets or savings, and even first access to exclusive TMNT clips!

First let's get the flavors/products listed. TMNT branded Crush will include the standard cans (which are the main attraction, as they're limited edition collector cans) single serve plastic bottles (the ones you'd find in a freezer at a store or a pizzeria) and even the big, 2 liter bottles. Each turtle will be represented, along with April. Each character is found on a different flavor.

Berry Punch Crush: Leonardo (exclusive flavor just for this promotion)

Grape Crush: Donatello

Strawberry Crush: Raphael

Orange Crush: Michelangelo

Pineapple Crush: April

Each can also features that specific turtle's shell on the back of the can (I'm not sure what it is for April's). Like I said, each of these flavors will have turtle labels on the bottles too, along with a cap printed with that new turtle symbol thing.

And yes, I also mentioned the chance to win free tickets:

Quote:

Enter your code from your Crush purchase for $1 off of a TMNT movie ticket or collect six codes to redeem for a free movie ticket. Want another chance to win? Buy specially marked 2 liter or 20oz. bottles of Crush and you have a 1 in 10 chance to win a free ticket. Codes are located inside the box or under the cap.
Since I'll be buying so much of this soda, I'm bound to end up with a few free tickets.

On the Crush website (linked above) there is a place to follow them on Facebook, and if you follow them, you'll "find out first about exclusive TMNT clips".

And that's about it! I've been looking everywhere for these but haven't had any luck so far. Will you be collecting the cans and bottles? I'll be getting a set of each different format, but two for the cans, because I'm going to keep a closed set with the soda still intact (yeah, I'm OCD like that). So...thoughts?

Powder 06-12-2014 07:08 PM

So I can buy soda to see the film & don't have to buy an actual ticket? Works for me. I'm game as hell for blue raspberry soda, period. TMNT branding is just a plus.

Wildcat 06-12-2014 07:19 PM

Oh this is cool. I had no idea they made Peach and Pineapple. Ive never seen those at my grocery stores...unless they made them for the movie but Peach doesn't match anyone. Blue Raspberry is for Leo.

I usually get Orange and Grape.

I don't quite understand the rules completely, but it seems like if you enter a total of six codes from the boxes, you get a free ticket and you have a chance of getting a free ticket on the plastic bottles with a code under the cap. Since I'm buying all of these I'm sure I'll get at least one free ticket.

billbot85 06-12-2014 07:46 PM

Welp, I think I'll be drinking a lot of these over the summer. :tlol:

Green Machine 06-12-2014 07:54 PM

Well there goes my diet...

turtlefanforever 06-12-2014 10:28 PM

sweet
 
Don't support the movie personally but I'm def getting these. Look sweet and I love soda in general so hell yeah.

DVD 06-12-2014 10:48 PM

I'd buy those, but I can't see them appearing over here. The cans would make a neat little display.

ShredderX633 06-12-2014 11:23 PM

Whoa those might actually be tasty, but am I the only one who noticed only April has the caffeine free print XD?

BlueKatana 06-13-2014 03:18 AM

Pretty much gave up Soda but will give this a try!

Netkeeper 06-13-2014 03:25 AM

I buy orange crush on a regular basis. If I win a free ticket I guess I'll go see the movie? I don't really care either way.

Still not looking forward to seeing Mikey's ugly mug on my 2 liter bottles, though.

The Turtle Terminator 06-13-2014 04:17 AM

Any one know if these will be available in the UK?

I actually have quit drinking sody pop :tsmile:, it was hard and still is, Baja Blast, Crush flavors are so tempting, but I will buy this stuff to own a set of each turtle soda flavor, my collecting nature will make sure and stay away from actually drinking the pop. I wonder when this stuff is in stores?

Plasticplayhouse 06-13-2014 06:48 AM

i'm not a big soda drinker, but those can designes are pretty cool. i'll have to pick up one of each.

BlueKatana 06-13-2014 11:08 AM

So has anyone see these in store yet?

Crush does not have caffeine which is why I think I have NEVER tried it :)

But I will buy 1 bottle of each TMNT flavor (and maybe some cans, who knows, if I can find the 12 packs at target I might buy some), that is... assuming I can find any stores that have them.

Netkeeper 06-13-2014 02:05 PM

Nope, Crush is caffeine free. Which is why I buy it. I always have one caffeine-free soda along with one caffeinated soda. Drink one during the day, drink the other at night.

Zulithe 06-13-2014 02:23 PM

Well soda has insane amount of calories, so I feel like drinking caffeine free is a waste since I'm a caffeine addict.

If I want a fizzy drink that has no caffeine I drink flavored sparkling water, there are tons of varieties of those on the market these days. Fruit Water from the makers of Vatamin Water is my favorite.

Anyway, just saying... wish they'd do a caffeine version cause a lot of soda drinkers *want* that in their drinks :)

Netkeeper 06-13-2014 02:39 PM

This is why I want a store that sells Jolt nearby. I haven't seen that stuff since 2008 and I want some right the hell now.

Fang Wolf 06-13-2014 04:39 PM

Cool, I hope they come to Sweden too, so I can buy them all. :tgrin:

zodiac brave 06-13-2014 07:06 PM

lol...im diabetic, but still gonna buy all these! might not drink em (or that many of em anyway), but i doubt this promo's going on with the diet versions of these flavors. honestly, i dont even know if all these flavors have diet equivalents in the first place.

totally gonna look cool on a shelf next to my iron man 2 diet dr pepper, transformers 4 autobot/decepticon big red zeros and my old @ss star wars episode one mountain dew cans, heh.

Zulithe 06-13-2014 07:07 PM

Well I looked around a lot while doing errands today.

I checked several Walgreens, 2 CVS, some mom & pop stores, one 711...

Only one store had crush. And they only had the GLASS bottles in 3 flavors. Nobody had cans, 20oz or 2ltrs.

I also called a few other stores such as BevMo, they said they had 72 bottles coming soon in orange. So I guess I can follow up there. But they only have orange so...

I know some have found it at Target. I saw non there last time I checked but I will continue to check.

It's not even that I can't find the TMNT promo items... I literally don't see Crush soda period, in any variety other than what I just mentioned. Seems Cali is a bad territory for Crush.

Guys, when you find the TMNT branded Crush, please share where you found it!

Donatello19 06-13-2014 07:37 PM

TigerClaw posted a picture of the April can in the other thread:

I checked an A&P today and they did have Crush Soda (even pineapple!) just not the TMNT ones. Hope I can find them soon.

Green Machine 06-13-2014 07:46 PM

The Leonardo 2 Liter was at Wal-mart tonight. That's it. The rest of the bottles/cans were non-TMNT.

Zulithe 06-13-2014 07:49 PM

Cool!!! Tell us if you like the taste. It's a new flavor, afterall.

Another shout out to the Star Wars: Episode I cans here! :tgrin: I've been looking for the TMNT Crush ones with no luck so far.

Zulithe 06-13-2014 07:50 PM

yup I fully remember the Episode I cans :) I no longer have them (i moved across country... had to get rid of some bloat, sigh), but i had a lot of fun collecting them all at that time.

Donatello19 06-13-2014 07:52 PM

Looks like they're finally starting to show up in different stores. I'll have to look again tomorrow.

I totally understand... I have severely cut back my intake as well. But I'd like to get some of this just to support the promo :)

I'm definitely buying the cans (if I can find them). :D I won't drink them. But I'll support the cause.

Well, hopefully someone will create an ebay auction that has 1 of each can... since I think my chances of finding them in stores is small.

Fang Wolf 06-14-2014 04:43 AM

Is there anyone who has tasted them?
How is the taste? * curious * :trazz:

Hurrijak 06-14-2014 05:42 PM

Found the Mikey & Don 2 liters at Walmart as well as the 12 pack of cans with Leo. The soda itself is a very light blue color & has a light berry taste to it. I liked it alot more than I thought I would.

Zulithe 06-14-2014 07:38 PM

Well after a lot of tries, finally got my first success. Even if it is probably the most common variety:

Safeway in Northern California. Only $0.99!

I will be trying to get the cans eventually. If I can find them :) Much more interested in those than the 2ltr.

Shogun26 06-14-2014 07:53 PM

I really love this promotion. My uncle used to work at crush so I will def be on the look out for the cans. I've also given the heads up to my parents so hopefully between the three of us we can collect all of them.

Omega 06-14-2014 11:24 PM

Did not see any tonight.

darthwahl56 06-15-2014 02:07 PM

My closest grocery store had a few cases of regular orange(not TMNT) and a few bottles of the grape flavor and that was it. I could barely find this because most of the section is taken over by their store brand pop. I had to search and the cases were what felt miles away from the 2 liter crush bottles (not organized together at all). This new promotion for TMNT had better get more space for Crush back, otherwise I am not going to be seeing anything. I will try my Walmart.

Omega 06-15-2014 03:22 PM

Regarding the 2 liters, do the 4 turtles and April come in that?
