Imagine Life Sweeter‚Ñ¢
The contest that proves life is even sweeter the second time around.

We’ve made our choices.
It’s time for you to make yours.

Vote for your favorite
We asked Second Life residents to send us their wildest ideas about what would make Second Life sweeter. And we got some doozies. Our panel has narrowed it down to a select few. Four, to be exact.

So now it’s your turn. Visit SPLENDA® Island in Second Life from January 17 – 23, and cast your vote for the sweet idea you’d most like to see.

Remember – you can only vote in Second Life. Just head to SPLENDA® Island, and look for the giant tipped-over coffee cup. You can’t miss it.

Ladies, gentlemen and gender-neutral avatars, meet your finalists:

Lyra Muse – Passing Pinger
Second Life¬Æ isn’t the small town it once was. With so many residents, it can be tricky to meet people with similar interests. So how do we make this aspect of Second Life¬Æ sweeter? With the Passion Pinger, of course. The Passion Pinger is a device that lets you enter your interests, with as many key words as you like. Then when someone in your vicinity is into the same things, you get an IM letting you know that there‚Äôs a potential new friend nearby.

Moo Money – The SPLENDA® Island Community
This idea ties together SPLENDA®, Second Life®, and the community at large, with a variety of fun, creative, social activities.
- A SPLENDA® recipe competition
- An in-world cooking show, with ingredients, recipes and instructors
- “Sweetest Couple in Second Life®“ a romantic weekly contest for couples young and old, to explain why they are the most awesome twosome on the grid
- Cooking scavenger hunts where residents follow clues and search for ingredients around the island, then “prepare” them at a station. The first one to make the prepared dish from the recipe task list wins!

Dimitri Illios - Second Life® Adventure
What would make life sweeter? How about an interactive, fairy-tale adventure? Residents would interact with game characters who would offer riddles and clues about nutrition, then determine right answers. Players would then need to share some of their information with other players as a requisite point for final triumph. As players advance to higher levels, they would receive treats or coupons.

Shava Suntzu – The SPLENDA® Pool Experience
Dive into a sweet swimming pool filled with fluffy SPLENDA¬Æ No Calorie Sweetener, using fun new animations! And don‚Äôt forget to enter the diving and swimming competitions. The pool would be surrounded with snack carts that show calories and nutritional information, along with an educational note saying “If this treat was made with sugar: [however many] calories.”

Remember – you can only vote in Second Life, and only from January 17 – 23. Just head to SPLENDA® Island, and look for the giant tipped-over coffee cup. You can’t miss it.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
