What do you have going on?

[HATEnFATE]

we don't do anything with our boxes. are the points on the inside of the cases? if they are I'll hook you up.

I did this with mountain due when they had thier points thing going a few years ago. I had a TON of points because we go through 10 cases a week. unfortunatly, we don't go through near as much coke, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

This reminds me of that commercial a while back, I think it was for Pepsi, where they listed off all of these prizes with the required points at the bottom of the screen.  The last "scene" was of some sort of jet and it was like 68 billion points.  Pepsi did it as a joke, but someone actually got that many points and demanded their jet.

From Wikipedia:

One humorous television commercial promoting Pepsi Stuff showed a teenager acquiring various items with Pepsi points. Near the end of the commercial, he arrived at school in a Harrier jet as the words "Harrier jet: 7,000,000 Pepsi Points" appeared on screen. In 1996, John D.R. Leonard attempted to buy the Harrier jet with 15 Pepsi Points and a check for $700,008.50. This amount of money was to cover the remaining Pepsi Points, which could be bought for $0.10 per point, and the $10 shipping and handling fee. Pepsi however refused to process the transaction. Leonard subsequently filed a suit. In 1999, US District Judge Kimba Wood, presiding over Leonard v. Pepsico, Inc., ruled in favor of Pepsi, stating that "No objective person could reasonably have concluded that the commercial actually offered consumers a Harrier jet."

The Pentagon stated that if Pepsi were to lose the suit, it would still not be able to buy one of its jets.

Um, I think you get iTunes or something with the Coke points, right?  Don't really know.

Since I got my Ice Tea machine at home and Crystal Light started making those little packets to dump in a bottle of water I haven't done much soda.

Anyway, yeah, the Harrier jet thing was funny.  Just think, that guy dedicated about a year of his life to that whole deal.  What a dumbass.
