Win a Tide-themed iPod
If you watched last weekend's Super Bowl (the height of American Football), you probably saw Tide's "Talking Stain" ad. It was one of the better ones; a man trying to conduct an interview is distracted by a nagging stain on the interviewee's shirt. Today, Tide has launched a contest encouraging people to make their own "mocking stain" ads. Among the prizes are 34 limited edition Tide-themed iPod Classics. The size isn't listed, but they're described in the official rules as having a value of $300US, so we assume it's the 80GB model.
This isn't the first time Tide has released a special iPod. Last year, they gave away orange nanos in conjunction with the St. Bernard Project in New Orleans. This got us thinking about other limited edition iPods we've seen.
- In 2006, French radio station Nostalgie gave away 100 limited-edition Michael Jackson iPods
- Two years ago, the Japanese company RUN'A sold 1,000 "Snoopy" iPod nanos
- Last September, Target (a discount department store in the US) sold pink iPod Shuffles to support the Breast Cancer Foundation
- Finally, who could forget the granddaddy of special iPods, the U2 model.

Thanks for explaining what Target was. I thought the point of a weblog was to provide links. Just link to it.

I'm pretty sure there was a Harry Potter iPod too, with all books pre-loaded.

If the prize is an iPod classic, then why is the graphic of an iPod nano?
And I would love that, just because it's orange. ;)

An Orange nano? Sorry I missed that.
My orange Shuffle survived a trip through the laundry last September, and I would have been really disappointed if I had been forced to replace it with one of those froufy colours they have now.
Coincidentally, it was washed in Tide. Headphones and all, works perfectly to this day.

Anyone else still trying to win these iPods? I go to that site everyday and enter. I don't care if it's ugly, it's still an iPod!

So far I've only won a Tide T-shirt, Tide sample and 2 Tide-to-go pens.
