Food Lion offering shoppers chance to name private-brand sodas

SALISBURY, N.C. — Want to name a private-brand soda? Food Lion is betting that some of its shoppers will want to do just that so it has kicked off the “You Name it” contest.



Now through April 27, Food Lion customers can name their favorite private brand soda flavors for a chance to win prizes.



To participate, customers submit their suggested names for Food Lion brand root beer, ginger ale, orange soda, grape soda and fruit punch. One entry per soda per day is allowed in order to offer multiple opportunities to win prizes.



Five grand prize winners will receive $500, plus one a one-year supply of free private brand soda. Ten more winners will receive a $100 Food Lion gift card, as well as a three-month supply of free private brand soda.

Customers will have the chance to vote online on their favorite names from May 7 to 13.
