So I was drinking a Pepsi Throwback and eating some Cheetos, then I thought I should make a blog different from my others. So here it is Games with Food or Beverage Companies. I am only going to name a few as there are about 50 or so games out there. The first couple that come to mind well back to Pepsi and Cheetos.
Coca-Cola - Pepsi Invaders & Coca-Cola Kid
Back in the 1980's there was a classic Atari 2600 game that is hard to find Pepsi Invaders also known as "Coke Wins!, Pepsi and Coke"!! This game is pretty cool! Unfortunately all I have is the ROM. The cart doesn't come with any labeling but a white strip that was type written and only given to Coke employees as a promotional gig. Hmmm maybe my friend who works for Coke can get me one! That would be pretty sweet huh!!! Coke has another game that was released on the Game Gear only in Japan called Coca-Cola kid the game pretty cool, easy to get your hands on it if you purchase from eBay.
Pepsi - Pepsiman
Pepsiman is a Japanese game for the PlayStation released in 1999, featuring the Japanese mascot for Pepsi, Pepsiman. The gameplay itself is entirely on rails, consisting of Pepsiman running from one end of the level to the other, picking up Pepsi cans and using Pepsi-branded vending machines on the side. This game is really rare.
Cheetos Chester the Cheetah had two games released on Sega and Super Nintendo. These games were just basic platform games.
McDonald - M.C. Kids
I know McDonald's has had quite a few games released some on PC and what not. But M.C. Kids on the NES is a pretty awesome platform game that kind or reminds me of Super Mario Bros. 2 and Rescue Rangers on NES.
Domino's Pizza Yo! Noid was a classic Saturday Morning cartoon commercial character and when a game for the NES came out I was there at Phar-Mor (now owned by some conglomerate, the store was kind of like a giant Walgreen's with a huge video store attached to it). The game is a pretty sweet platform game in which you control Noid. He had other games that came out on other systems, but he is one the most classic 80's food icons. Today I hate Domino's and there's no Noid as their spokes person.
California Rasins Who doesn't remember the jazz and music playing grapes?!?! I remember them well singing such songs as Heard it Through The Grapevine and so on. They had a game released as a Prototype for the NES. You can download the Rom the game is pretty cool.
7-Up Spot! Yes that crazy character had many games that were released, such as Spot! The Video game For NES which plays like checkers in my opinion and Spot! Goes to Hollywood which was released on several systems. Spot! Goes to Hollywood is a great game for a platform game unlike his NES counterpart which can be quite boring. But a little background about Spot is he was another commercial character in the 80's who was great at promoting his product 7-Up he's still around but as a silent red dot on the bottle that 7-Up still has but as most commercials have become they all loose their characters that attract kids, and he was the first to go.
The last one I would like to talk about is Kool-Aid Kool-Aid Man on the Atari 2600 and Intellivision is a pretty cool game unfortunately he didn't have any other releases. He does occasionally show up in say an episode of Family Guy. But his commercials were awesome! He is still around today getting kids to drink their Kool-Aid so how about another game! It would have to be way better than the company I will only mention once the games for Xbox mentioned by the other burger joint oh yeah Burger King, those games are CRAPPY!!!!! Sorry for those who like them.
So I hope you all enjoyed this blog if any of you want to add more information just post a comment and we can talk from there, also if you have any other game that you want to talk or add on to this list leave a comment.
Thanks.

So I was drinking a Pepsi Throwback and eating some Cheetos, then I thought I should make a blog different from my others.
Tryin' to go against the socially-inept-basement-dwelling-gamer stereotype by downing Pepsi with your Cheetos instead of Mountain Dew? You're just a risk-taking daredevil who isn't afraid to go against the grain, aren't ya? I can't tell you how envious I am of your devil-may-care attitude...
Moving on. I'm on a mission to collect all the "advergames" you mentioned above. Well, except for Yo! Noid; I already have that. And I'm not so sure about Pepsiman; methinks I'll tick with NTSC releases.
Taking you up on your suggestion, you might wanna look into the Burger King trilogy for XBox: Big Bumpin', Pocket Bike Racer, and Sneak King.
You might also find some inspiration from Cracked.com's The 10 least Subtle Product Placements in Video Game History, even if you've already mentioned most of the games profiled in the article:

Don't forget McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure for the Genesis!

@Zagnorch: I have all the Burger King Games, yeah not so fun. Pepsiman is rare in Japan even so good idea to stick to NTSC. I really want a copy of Pepsi Invaders. As for Mountain Dew I only like LiveWire and when the Halo 3 one was out But I'll take a Mt. Dew Throwback any day. @Chad: Yeah thanks I forgot about that one. That is a pretty good game too. There is one on the PC as well but not as popular and there is one about another McD's character the Hamburgular.
