Apparently Pepsi pays as much attention to keeping the wraps on promos as they did with getting the bottle caps out on time for the last promo.

I wonder if they paid attention enough to redesign the printing in the caps so you can't tip them and see if you have a winner ahead of time.
 
SSSHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Well Jesus! Now you've gone and blown it for all of us "tippers"....

Oh well...time to brush up on my "snatch and grab" from the recycle bins at work!
 
Great timing

The timing for the pre-release of the info on this promo is great! The last few week s the buzz in the media (even mainstream media) has been about what was coming at MWSF, than massive coverage about what WAS released at MWSF. With the buzz about Mac mini + iPod Shuffle finally dying down this week. Now the media will have a whole new reason to have Apple in their collective spotlights for another week or two (which of course they will re-hash the Mac mini + iPod shuffle for filler in the news reports). Then the Superbowl Ads (hopefully much better this time) will keep Apple in the average consumers mind for another week.

This media blitz is so well timed that it is impossible to be accidental. After the superbowl Apple products will have been in the media, in one form or another, almost non-stop for almost two-months. That is the type of publicity you can't buy.

Great Job Apple, the best press Dell is getting is trash talking Apple (boo frick-itty hoo) :)
 
Will they have yellow caps again?

Will they fail to distribute them to the west coast for months after the promotion starts, as they did last year?
 
ELIGIBILITY: You must be thirteen (13) years of age of older and a legal resident of the United States residing in the fifty (50) states or District of Columbia to be eligible to win a prize(s).

Sorry everyone in Europe/Canada....especially Australia, you guys still don't have an iTMS to win free songs in yet.
 
This promotion might just work on me buying pepsi. I usually buy diet cokes, but I'll take me chances to win songs or an iPod.
 
I kinda wish Apple would team up with like, Aquafina or Dasani for this promotion. I don't drink soda too often, but I down about 6 bottles of water per day. (Don't worry, I recycle. :))

Anyway, I might have to take up drinking diet Pepsi the next few weeks. Kudos to otterpop for bringing us this story -- sorry we all chuckled and said your soda was old. ;)
 
OH yeah!!! I got 50 plus songs through the last promotion!!! I can't wait! I lived in Phoenix last year, and it was very easy to get the bottles... I'm ashamed to say I did the tip the bottle trick. I even had our 30+ year experience engineers doing the same so they could win extra songs for me. ;)
 
Okay, yeah, the page is gone now.

In case anyone wants to see it, I saved a copy of the rules, minus all the fancy graphics so the PDF would be small enough for attaching. :)

I would have to be Aquafina, which is Pepsi's bottled water brand -- Dasani is made by Coke (and both are, as I understand it, essentially filtered tap water).

Your understanding sounds like the steriotypical 20/20 report.

Consumer Reports (cause they have a reason to lie, right):

Here's what we found then:


Arsenic (a poison). All tested brands met current EPA and FDA arsenic standards of 50 parts per billion (ppb). All but two would also meet the EPA's new, 10-ppb standard, effective in 2006.


Trihalomethanes (suspected carcinogens). Products we tested had levels below the new standard of 80 ppb. Some seltzers had levels of about 50 ppb. Spring waters and water from municipal sources had few or no THMs.


Plastic components. Eight of the ten 5-gallon polycarbonate jugs we checked left residues of the endocrine disrupter, bisphenol A, in the water.

I've given up drinking liquids until the end of the month, so I'll be ready (good and thirsty) when they wave the starters flag on this promotion. And this time I won't wait until the last minute to start cashing them in. Last year, I didn't notice that there was a limit on tunes per day, and I ended up giving away some of my winning caps.

So, what ARE you drinking? Solids? :)

Or are you eating liquids? ;)

No eating, no drinking, to get in shape for the promotion.

Since Apple took the Pepsi promo page down just now, I guess they decided that promoting sugar water wasn't good for humankind after all, so they are going to change their ways and give us all the music free we want, no purchase necessary.

Nawwwwwwwwwwwww!

Dasani was a spectacularly hilarious failure in the UK and had to be hastily withdrawn.

Just after it was launched, a newspaper revealed that it was simply filtered and treated tap water.

But that wasn't the real debacle. Analysis revealed that Coca Cola's 'secret ingredient' was adding cancer-inducing bromates at levels that were two and a half times the UK legal limit.

The water that they were taking from the normal domestic supply was found to be free of bromates before Coca Cola started messing with it.

The product was hastily removed from the shelves and has never been seen here since.
