Never lose in Pepsi's iTunes promo

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 18 Feb 2004 3:19 User comments (3)

Some clever guy has set up a website with pictures and detailed instructions on how to check whether the Pepsi bottle you're about to buy has a iTunes winning number in its cap or not.

Trick is rather simple, one needs to twist the bottle in certain angle and then take a look underneath the cap. The winning code can't be seen, but in bottles that don't have the winning code, parts of the "apology", namely the text "again" (as in something like "you didn't win, please try again") can be seen.

Now, we're just waiting whether this guy can be sued under DMCA legislation or trade secrets laws...

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
