Pepsi Stuff doesn’t add up

1 point.

I signed away my personal information to pepsistuff.amazon.com for one lousy point, and at one point per 2-liter of soda, that just doesn’t cut it. This calls to mind another MP3 promotion, 7-11’s iTunes promotion from 2004 where a $1.29 Slurpee bought you one 99¢ song from the iTunes store. To do the cheapskate math, that’s an iTunes song and a 29¢ Slurpee, which is why I drank so many of them I got sick of Slurpees. For now.

Contrast with Pepsi Stuff: to get the same reward, you need five points for one song. That means buying $5 to $7 worth of soda — 10 liters — just to get one 89¢ MP3.

It’s a good thing I buy a lot of soda.

EDIT: I can’t believe the pap I’m blogging about.
