Reminds me a bit of the Pepsi - Harrier Jet incident , but with more rioting and death.

A fairly potent reminder of just how terrible people are.

That’s almost as bad as Pepsi itself.

Pepsi’s marketing team in the 90s was a bit more ambitious than their legal team could cover for.

I had not heard of this before.

They only used 3 digit number on the caps. If the 800,000 units is typical of the production per 3 digit code, they would have produced 8*10^ 8 bottles. That seems very high. The QA- QC at the plant must have been pretty bad for the contest.

Harrier guy definitely got ripped off. Stupid pro-big business courts.

Cherry Pepsi is good. Better than Mani la Coke anyway.
