Yes it's true! Wave a suitable mobile handset at a can (and presumably bottle) of Pepsi (in all varieties I believe) and get yourself two pretty decent mobile games for nada, zilch, nuthin'!

QR code on Pepsi can gives you free games for mobile

There are a few caveats though. You'll need the following...

a phone with a QR code (aka 2D barcode) scanner.
a lot of patience
mobile internet access
a phone that's compatible with the games

Actually I can help you with the ~~thirst~~ first one, just go straight to these links instead:

*doesn't work on my N95 8GB
**doesn't work well on my N95 8GB (and you don't throw athletes either!)

Quite funny, we were doing the same experiment this lunchtime in the office, but with a Pepsi bottle rather than a can - in the end we had to take the QR code off the bottle to be able to scan it flat on the table ;-)

It would seem the curvature of the can/bottle is the main problem. Good thinking about taking the label off!
