Apple has a home run! This promotion with Pepsi and AOL is going to be great. I see great thing ahead for Apple!

Is Pepsi Mac OS X Compatible?

In Feb.

I'm betting 5 bux it's US only.

I hate Pepsi, but now that they've partnered with Apple will I be forced to start supporting the firm over my beloved Coke? My Lord what terrible choice this will be. I wish Apple had partnered with Coke, but I'll have to enthusiastically support the Pepsi promotion nonetheless.

Pepsi still tastes too bad to drink it. Sierra Mist is not bad though, and it will be included in the promotion. If they'd include Mountain Dew I'd be a very happy little camper.

Start thinking! Do you really want to be a slave of Apple/Pepsi's marketing tricks????

I for one wouldn't buy something I didn't like just to support a rich company... I DO like Pepsi though ;p

I think this is a great way to jump start the Music selling revolution. And fight piracy to some extent

It will be probably true for many fanatic teenagers

Me too. The Dew is about the only Pepsi product I actually enjoy drinking.

Well, it's either support one giant mega-corporation (Coke) or another one (Pepsi) for me. I am a Coke man myself, and I'm just not sure that free iTunes songs can get me to drink Pepsi. I'm not above hanging out in front of my local 7-11 and bugging little kids to give me their points (or caps or however they do it).

Most people drink one or the other. It's just a matter of if you can stand switching brands for Apple.

Guess doctors would be treating patients with... PepiTunes syndrome. :-P

WHY DIDN'T PEPSI ALSO SELECT MT. DEW!!!!!

Because they didn't want to give all us geeks a music library full of free music!

I drink a ton of Pepsi (Diet Caffiene Free, mind you) so this will allow me to get a few tracks here and there that I am too cheap to buy myself.

BZ · Oct 17, 2003, 07:55 AM

I am in... I am a DC guy, but for a few tracks on the iTMS I will be slurping down much Pepsi... besides, we want this to be successful yes?
