Pepsi-iTunes Promotion Starts

Yeah, I haven't seen anything yet. Just regular bottles, or the ones with the football caps contest leftover from before the Super Bowl.

Well, mathematically, that absolutely guarantees that your next bottle will be a winner! One out of every three bottles, right? You can't argue with statistics!

OK, I admit that's a gambler's fallacy. Your chances next time are 1/3.

Actually, they are a teeny tiny bit better than 1/3. For example, if they issued 3,000,000 bottles and 1,000,000 of them were winners, and you bought two losers, then the next bottle has winning chances of 1,000,000/2,999,998! You've improved the chances for all the rest of us from 33.33333% to 33.33336%. Thanks, wdlove!

What math students do in the privacy of their own homes is none of our business, so I'm glad you are discreet about it. ;)
 
Yellow cap Pepsi? NONE

Metro-Phoenix AZ: NO yellow cap bottles; "nada" tunes

Checked:

Wal-Mart
Safeway
Fry's Grocery
Albertson's

:mad:
 
Long Island NY

NADDA..

just the football caps....

I think its a hoax ! LOL

By the time these bottles are out teh contest will be over.
 
No Itunes for me

I live in Southern West Virginia and have been on the hunt for Itunes Pepsi since the superbowl ad. So far I have checked 3 gas stations, 2 grocery stores and a WalMart in WV with no luck. I've also checked 2 gas stations and a grocery store in Ohio with no luck. I'm starting to think that this whole Itunes promotion is made-up just to drive me insane....your all in on it arent you?!? Theres really no such thing as an Itunes Pepsi is there? I mean come on, its been like 2 weeks and there arent any anywhere, just "reports" of people "winning". I wont believe its real till I'm holding a bottle in my hand!:mad:
Ok....ok...I'm calm....it's ok. I just forgot to take my meds today, thats all. :( Well...if anyone finds a place in West Virginia that sells these mythical Itunes Pepsi's, please let me know :)
 
No PepsiTunes in Phoenix AZ

Same "tune" here as mostly everywhere else,
No PepsiTunes in Phoenix AZ

No YELLOW CAPS in sight. :confused:

Latest rumor (I just started it):
You know the 2 delivery trucks shown in the TV ad hauling Vanilla cola?
One for Pepsi and the other with Coca Cola?

Well, I believe that since Vanilla Coke is really not going anywhere, the DRIVER of the Vanilla Coke truck has HIJACKED all the iTunes PEPSI bottles he can get 'cause he's got nothing else to keep him entertained or busy.

So, if anyone sees a bunch of YELLOW CAPPED 20oz Pepsi bottles being hauled away in a Vanilla Coke Truck, let us know about your sighting.
Otherwise, KEEP LOOKING for PepsiTunes in the YELLOW CAPPED bottles.
:rolleyes:
 
OK this is officailly reallyu sad ans stupid.

I was expecting mass saturation ...and NOTHING.

Dosent this contest only run like 2 months ?

very dissapointed.
 
Sorry to hear that everyone is having such a hard time finding them. Thay have been available here (near Philly) since Jan 28th. They have mostly been Diet Pepsi bottles, but just this week we started getting them on regular Pepsi.

I guess I will just have to take advantage of this. So far, I have 56 winners out of about 80. I started saving the caps this week so I could take a pic of them at the end of the contest to post here. I have about 24 of the caps so far for the pic.

Not in AZ?

Well I'm in Mesa, AZ and I have already won twice. 2 for 6. The statistics are right on.

I get the caps from QT and Circle K.
 
I've now been to every single retail establishment in all 50 states (well, ok, 12 stores in Los Angeles) without a sign of a promotional Pepsi.

I have a new theory:

The Pepsi/iTunes promotion is a hoax. Pepsi, with Apple's cooperation, is running the campaign without actually having any yellow-cap Pepsis or winners. The posters above are all part of a VCC (vast cola conspiracy) designed to get us to talk about Pepsi, hunt for Pepsi bottles, and think about Pepsi 24 hours a day, which is a great marketing accomplishment, and they are doing it without actually giving anything away!

Remember, anybody who contradicts me is just part of the conspiracy. ;)
 
AZ PepsiTunes; cups but no bottles

ORDER: Brian, I'd like a hot Philly steak sandwich on a roll, with a 20oz PepsiTunes cola, please. ;)

Have yet to see PepsiTunes 20oz bottles in Phoenix (Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, Glendale, Peoria, etc.) Maricopa County, AZ, but PepsiTunes cups sold at 7-11 or Circle K, and QT Mart & Gas Station have codes.
 
I'm in San Diego. No yellow top Pepsi products either. Although, all the Pepsi bottles have LA Lakers game pieces...how many San Diegans are Laker fans? (Yes, they are a good team, but not a San Diego team). I've tried 7-11 (remember when it was called Speedy-mart??), Chevron's, Mobile's, Target..this is kinda bumming me out.:(
 
Here is where to get it in AZ

The 2 places I have gone and found the iTunes game pieces in Mesa, AZ are here:

1 liter bottles - Circle K on Stapley at 60 (right next to In-n-Out).
(near my work)

20oz bottles - QT on corner of Power and University.
(near my home)

So it is in the Baton Rouge area too? Thought maybe it was just still in Slidell. Don't think they will ever get rid of all the Hornets bottles.

I think I've figured out what's wrong.
It's not the BIG DEAL we all thought it was.
Count the bottles... I just knew it was too good to be true. :mad:

I think PEPSI changed the Rules of the Promotion. This is why we haven't seen very many bottles in each state, not enough to go around... I don't think North Dakota or Montana get any!

True.
But you missed your chance at a cool photo of the PepsiTunes cup plugged directly into either your Mac G5 or your iPod (showoff) with a FireWire cable. :p
Too late now! :cool:
 
No bottles in Chicago 'burbs!!!

I have been to a number of grocery stores here in the Chicago suburbs.

Not a single point-of-purchase display or bottle with the iTunes promotion!

Whassup with that?

I think the local bottlers want to use up their existing stock before bringing these out. I could be wrong.

I'm not happy about this. My wife drinks diet pepsi like a fiend (breakfast, lunch & dinner).

I should have ten or twelve free downloads by now, shouldn't I?
