Pepsi's Play For A Billion to return

[hiphats]

Just went down to the local market today and already Pepsi is starting its new promotion for...yes, "Play For A Billion" will return for season two.  Which means we can twist those yellow caps to our hearts content without having to peak for a code for a free song from under the bottle or looking at it at an angle.

I do have my doubts though since no one got the billion last time...the odds are still astronomical.  Impossible, you ask?  We shall see come next fall...

 No, we don't ask, we pretty much figured out the exact odds of winning the billion when we went over this last year.

QUick question: is this only basic Pepsi or any Pepsi drink (diet, Pepsi One, Mountain Dew, etc.) If it's just plain Pepsi, I'd consider filing a class action suit on behalf of us diabetics....

 IIRC, last year this applied to all Pepsi products. So drink you some of that Pepsi One with impunity.

 Can it really be called season two when "season one" was a one-off special?

Episode two perhaps?

 Does this mean the iTunes thing will end? That sucks.

ObGs: is Drew hosting again? He was good at that.

Yes, it ends on April 30th and all codes must be redeemed by then.

I love "Play for a Billion" because it combines two of my loves - game shows and sweepstakes. I will, in  no doubt, get sucked into this again big time.

I would've called it "a 2nd installment", myself.

 I loved "Play for a Billion" because I work at a store, and they let me go to the backroom and collect discarded caps from returned bottles during my break.  I found two $15 instant winners last summer.

 Fear not. I would think Pepsico will make the promotion as broad as possible, seeing as not everyone likes cola (I favor Root Beer and Squirt), and they want to interest as many people as they can.

Aside: Up on Orcas we installed a Pepsi machine recently and stocked it up with twelve varieties of product - only one is "Industrial Strength" Pepsi Pepsi. There's water and three "Diet" sodas - only one of those is a cola. I'm a "Type 1" myself, so I insisted on it.

Being forced to accept Diet Cola is simply bogus. Now if I can just win the Billion... (fat chance!)

 One would think that would be a problem.  Many promotions, such as ones run by Coca-Cola, Wendy's, etc. have this as a rule: "Employees of Coca-Cola Inc., it's bottlers, subsidiairies, marketing partneres, suppliers, sellers, and direct family members are ineligible".

I would take execption to you "winning" this $15, as more than likely, it wasn't a valid win.  The grocery store chain I work for has a strict policy against this very thing, and if an employee is caught doing this, they can be punished, up to being terminated.

If every company eventually merges with each other, there is a possibility that no one will be eligible to win any contest, as everybody will work for the same company.

 I have heard people being fired from "Mickey D's" for stealing Monopoly game stamps. Be careful.
