The 'Red Bull Tetris' can has been created in partnership between the energy drink brand and the video game franchise to help pay homage to the iconic game's 40th anniversary.

The branding boasts the classic Red Bull can covered in cubic Tetris pieces alongside specialty details on how consumers can get in on the gaming action. The can is paired with a QR code that users can scan to give the Red Bull x Tetris competition a try.
