This email is off topic, and serving two functions: 1: This is a test, had mail server problems over the weekend, wanted to see if I got booted from the list
2: Has anyone noticed that the Pepsi iTunes promo has turned into all winners? The Dunkin Donuts near me seems amiss. 6 of the last 6 I bought have been winners. Either I'm REALLY lucky, or something is up. Statistically, I should not have had 6 consecutive winners. I'm curious if others are seeing this. If so, I'm thinking it may be that Pepsi has increased the number of winners in an effort to get all 100 million out and purchased before the end of April (when the promo ends and you have to redeem the caps by). I know around here, we saw the bottles not long after the promo started, but then they stopped and almost totally vanished until about 2 weeks ago. From what I understand, similar reports are all over the US about the bottles vanishing, or not having arrived at all until recently When they were first out, I could read the inside of the cap by tilting the bottle, now that they are back, I can't do it. Not having saved an original bottle, I can't be sure what changed. But going under the assumption that Pepsi realized that people could read the cap without buying the bottle, they may have halted production while they redesigned the bottle. Then time would be short to get all 100 million in circulation before the deadline. So they may have increased the odds of winning by reducing the number of non winners (failure to release all 100 million with a reasonable chance of them being bought before the deadline could easily result in lawsuits for fraud). So I'm curious if others have seen winners showing up in better than 1 to 2 ratio. If so, it might lead me to believe my hypothesis is correct. Ok, I'm done with my OT post and subscription test. Thanks for letting me waste the electrons (which isn't really accurate, electrons don't actually get used up, they just change states and move around... scary that the bits that makes up your body may very well have been in a dinosaurs body at one point) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
