Pepsi, along with Coca Cola, should be labelled as poison. 🤢 This stuff will erode the paint on your car if left overnight.

Apple, attempting to be involved in healthy living, would be better off associating themselves with brands selling juices or water.

Besides those 3 free months of Apple Music is essentially the same as a trial period for someone who has never tried it before.

Wow, are you learning Ancient Greek ? You’re an ήρωας for this!
two semesters, Greek 1 and Greek 2, a job, wife, and four kids, coffee, and the grace of God. :) need two Greek classes for my degree. will take Hebrew next.

had to look up your word. I humbly decline :) but once I sounded it out I could hear the meaning. It isn't in the BDAG dictionary so I had to move to the BrillDAG to look it up. I'm hoping to keep it up. told my wife and my teacher at lunch this week that I've worked way too hard for the last year to forget it all in a few months.
 
Sodas don’t cause obesity. Drinking too many of them do. No food makes you fat just too much of them do.

But you going to love this…Pepsi makes a diet soda with the same calories as water.
And your overly simplistic understanding of “a calorie is a calorie” is flawed. 100 calories of processed sugar and grains has an entirely different effect than 100 calories of an egg or meat down to the level of the mitochondria in our cells. Nearly every chronic disease today is a result of mitochondrial dysfunction, even mental disorders. Artificial sweeteners may be zero calorie as far as their ability to provide energy, but they still stimulate insulin release which is why diet sodas drive obesity. There’s no free ride.
 
Wow! This is gonna make me go down the google rabbit hole. History repeating itself. Kind of surprised Apple didn't do a promo like this when AM was first starting, like they did with the ITMS in 2004 and 05 IIRC.

Has it really been that long? Good times! I was starting out in college then and a friend kept messaging me on MSN messenger saying she kept getting winning caps and free songs. lol I made my screen name say she should save some for me! We went to the 711 and I did get a winning cap, but I tried redeeming it on another friend's computer since iTunes wasn't accessible yet, but somehow it didn't work so I never got the song I had won.

Then I think later that year or maybe the next, there was another ITMS promo aimed at college students where you get a free song download on iTunes if you bought so many ice cream bars. Since I used my meal plan cash for that, it was easy to pull off. I can't find any info about that promo now though.

I loved the "bottle songs" add for the second go around with the Pepsi ITMS promo though, where different people would open pepsi bottles and different songs would play.
