Pepsi Promotion Question

I wonder if after Feb 1 when the promotion starts will you be able to download just one song with your cap code sorta like a temp user account to just download one song.  Or if you have an account just pile on the codes to equal one album.  Haha just a anxious curious thought although I actually prefer coke but itunes beats coke sorry after all it's just sugar water right? ( that was actually pepsi but it fit the occasion )

I would imagine you have to have a permanent user account, since they are protected for your account, and you can only have a computer authorized for one account at a time.  It would stand to reason that you can use more than one code per account.

I'm a Coke drinker, but the lemon Pepsi stuff isn't too bad... I can see myself getting a few six-packs of it.

Re: Pepsi Promotion Question

i'm a huge pepsi-drinker, though not as bad as this guy.  anyway, i would bet it's basically a $.99 gift certificate.  you can't send gift certificates that small, but i would be willing to bet that's how apple did this.

Pepsi promo caps are typically yellow.

Not to mention how much his brain is smurfed up.    He is the type of person that propogates the American stereotype.  I found it hilarious when he said how Pepsi is "All American" = good and Coke is "Commie" - bad.

smurf, I dislike Diet Pepsi, and don't like sugared drinks, they should have included Diet Sierra mist. Better still Mountain Dew and Diet Mountain Dew.

I think his kidneys are in more danger.

If you hate sugared drinks, why do you care that Mt. Dew is excluded?

I just included that because, I would have liked the inclusion of the Moutain Dew line, so that I could have diet, while me and my fellow Dew drinkers could get Mp3s. I should amend, I don't drink sugared drinks any longer, but when I did it was only uncolas like Mountain Dew or Sprite, I have never liked regular Coke or Pepsi. I can stomach Diet Pepsi, but I love Diet Coke.

Re: Pepsi Promotion Question

You guys are killing me... 1 in 3 are winners... so you are going to buy 3 $.99 sodas to try to get a free $.99 song?????   confused  Just buy 3 songs... then it will cost you the same as 3 sodas and you will have a 1 in 1 chance of getting a song...   big_smile  If I bought bottles of pepsi it would be cool... then I would have a chance to win free songs with the soda I normally buy... But to buy a $.99 soda to try to win a $.99 song is stupid....

It's difficult to take a 2 liter into work. And with the discount card, they are 2 for 5 locally.

Re: Pepsi Promotion Question

If I take a trip down to the states, buy a few pepsis and come back, can I use those codes from Canada?

Canadian Pepsi tastes better, though...

Re: Pepsi Promotion Question

I don't doubt it.  I find that the taste and texture of soda varies from area to area.  The small variation in formula at each local bottling plant must be enough to have a larger impact on taste.  I for one can't stand Pepsi products from around central California, like Monterey, or Bakersfield, they taste bitter to what I'm used to  shrug

it varies depending on the water quality of the bottling company... if its located near a dirty water source like the mississippi, or lake erie, it will taste worse than if it comes from an unpolluted aquifer or unpolluted lake.

Re: Pepsi Promotion Question

Wouldn't a promotion geared to computer users work better if they included Mountain Dew, the Official Beverage of the Computer Geek? wink
