A man sued Pepsi for not giving him a jet
Here’s an example of why you shouldn’t believe everything you see in commercials. In the 1990s, Pepsi ran a promotional campaign called “Pepsi Stuff”. Pepsi customers could collect Pepsi Points when they buy Pepsi products, and then trade the points for prizes like a Pepsi t-shirt. Here’s the commercial they ran for the campaign.
In 1996, a business student actually collected 7,000,000 Pepsi points, hoping that, just like the commercial, he could redeem the points for a Harrier jet. Pepsi refused, so the student sued them for breach of contract. The suit was rejected in federal court.
