    People will be selling generated pepsi codes on ebay. This will probably make iTunes need to cancel the service. If that happens, then I'm mad at the hacker. Either way I am, because it will simply help pirating IMO.

    Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both 'Yes' and 'No.'

    Dude, just tip the bottle a little bit and look under the cap. If you see random numbers/letters you got a winner. If you see 'again' then try again.

    I can't believe Pepsi let this one through.

    Does it seriously just advise you to look under the cap? I have been doing that for years, no big suprise there.

    keep the cap, toss the Pepsi.

    It would be easier and cheeper to just buy the song online instead, although paying $1 per song isn't good for Apple because of credit card transaction costs.

    Do I want to steal music (pepsi promo) or steal music (p2p)?
