There's a secret message, I think, hiding in plain sight on the 24 different Pepsi-brand soda cans with Star Wars characters on them. If you look closely at each image, you'll see a word written somewhere on the character's picture -- a different one per can. Our theory is that, when you have all twenty four in order, there's a hidden message.

Call me slow if I'm the last person to notice this, but I just did a furious web search for any web page that might have the hidden message written out, and I didn't even find one that mentioned there *was* such a message.

So I'm appealing to all my RinkWorks readers: get whatever Pepsi cans you can (Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and possibly others) and post your findings here. We've got to crack this thing. The only thing I dread is that the rare gold Yoda cans, which can be redeemed for some kind of prize, is one of them.

Here's what I've got:

On the Anacan (er...the can that has Anakin), which is #1, is the word "New."

Can #4 (Watto): "But"

Can #10 (Jar Jar): "Future"

Can #11 (Mace Windu): "May"

Can #12 (the "Obiwan Canobi"): "Another"

Can #17 (Queen Amidala): "But"

Can #18 (Padme): "Nearby"

That's all I've got. If I had noticed this sooner, I would have had more. Fill me in, loyal readers, please. And if this hidden message says "Buy more Ovaltine" I will not be responsible for my actions.
