[QUOTE=Lestat]For that money, you can buy two laptops AND you don't have to swallow that evil brew.[/QUOTE]
Actually, the laptop is worth of 1800€. If you buy those bottles, you save 600€. Then, like quite many are doing, if you sell those bottles, you can get the laptop VEEEERY cheapily...

Okay, what are the best ways of spreading the unholy spam at the moment? In addition to the actual spamming, that is.

But links to spamthreads in your sig :devil:
Yeah, and how long does the campaign last?
Not to mention the cost of 1000 bottles.
No wonder they can afford it..
Oka, here is the calculation almost precisely:
Laptop: 1800€
1000 Bottles of Pepsi: 1200€
So, if you just had to put money to laptop, you would have paid 600€ more, and you don't get 1000 bottles of Pepsi.
If you return all the bottles, you get about 0.25€*1000, about 250€
So, you get 1000 bottles of Pepsi and laptop in price of 1200-250=950€
If you sell all the bottles, good price has been estimated to be about 0.60€ per bottle, you will get 0.60*1000=600€
So, if you succeed to sell every bottle, you get 1800€ laptop in price of 600€,

@Kipi, buy in bulk directly from Pepsi then.
But where will you put 1000 bottles in the meantime?

Hi Phreddie![/QUOTE]
Well, there is time till end of January, but the campaign has been out for couple of days, and already Pepsi is out from many stores...
People have been buying even 200-400 bottles at once, it's said that that's the amount how many bottles can be put in small car...
Hi Phred!!!

Sheesh. An advertising campaign that works.
If you buy enough at once then you wouldn't need to go to a shop AND you might get a discount for buying in bulk, directly from the Supplier rather than the distributors.

You have to be joking. Who in their right mind would seriously do this. Now I really believe the stories of soft-drink corrupting people and killing brain cells

Maybe...
But I think it's not working that way, since you have to proof you have bought them, and I believe those bottles bought from supplier aren't accepted...
@dj venom
One, who want to get 1800€ laptop in price of 600€

Next you'll hear stories of people who have been robbed...
"They took the Pepsi bottles! We had been saving them up for one week now, but they TOOK THEM! They were sitting next to the TV and the computer, we would have been okay with that, but NO! They had to take our PEPSI!

"
@Kipi:
But where can you chuck 1000 bottles, and how would you take them to where they must go?

LMAO!!!!
:laugh::laugh:
But if telling the truth, I'm bit sceptic towards this campaign, because I think someone is going to deny it's legality because it suggest people to horde Pepsi bottles and drink those, which is VEEEERY unhealthy
And, you don't have to actually keep those bottles, there is those codes attached to etiquette of bottles, you take the code and log it in internet. You only have to save the etiquette and proof that you have actually bought the bottle, not the bottle itself

Aaaah, the old code thing. You won't believe how rigged that was. I remember coke had something similar, and there were ways of figuring it out. Firstly, someone leaked the formula used, and using it, you could find a heap more codes once you had one number. Also, someone else figured out a way to tilt the bottle to allow the code to be seen... something a bored service station attendant is good at.
Anyway, enjoy the laptop... because I know you won't enjoy the pepsi

That's right.
And that's also the reason why you have to able to proof that you have actually bought 1000 bottles
And, I'm not taking part to that, I think it's very stupic campaign.
If I really want to buy laptop, I will buy it from one person I know, since I know that I get better support help when needed...

But I'm sure the laptop isn't really worth it. I mean, even if it is cheaper, do you really need the stuff it has?
And yeah, there will be minimal support and other stuff etc.

Totally agreeing you...
The laptop is prolly full of all kind of **** what you don't actually need, filling the space.
