Does anyone know if they will be putting up a list of the winners for every day of the iPod Minis that they are giving out every hour?

I looked at Apple's web site and didn't see anything like that on it.
Thanks

Eventually, they will. But they'll contact you if you do win.

I know they will contact me, I just wanna see who is winning. My friends and I are having a competition as to how many free songs we can get. So I want to see if they win (some of my friends playing are out of my state)!

I'm sure that eventually there will be a list. Good luck!

People probably already know about this, but apple has a link from their Official Rules page that lists the winners. Problem is that the link goes to a page that does not exists...at least not yet. Trying to win the IPod Mini myself. People at the cash register look at me funny and wonder why I'm buying 10 20oz bottles and not buying the cheaper Pepsi Cubes

Good luck to all.

Cool, Dew is part of the promotion. I like it (and Cherry) a lot better than regular Pepsi or Sierra Mist.

How many people here cheat at it??

It's interesting how tastes differ so widely. I like Cherry and Mist better than regular Pepsi but absolutely abhor Dew. Yuck. In a perfect world, Apple would have partnered with Coke, but one cannot have everything.

I cheated last time and I was something like 15 for 17 during the promo.

However,I was just at the store, and picked a few of the bottles.
I didnt open any so when I got home I could see if they could be cheated.

Nope. Doesnt work. I think they are printing them smaller this time so people like us (me) dont do that.

Anyone else have the same expierience?

still works

viperstrike · Feb 8, 2005, 06:13 PM

The 'tilt-cheat' still works, at least for the 20oz bottles. A little hint: room temperature bottles work better since the condensation makes it a bit hard to see.

jersey · Feb 8, 2005, 07:53 PM

maybe i got a hold of special "new jersey bottles"

IceEnclosure · Feb 8, 2005, 08:12 PM

cherry coke is the best.

and the cheat still applies. joy. I'm 3 for 3 so far.

jersey · Feb 9, 2005, 01:26 AM

i'll try the cheat .... again........

but the best part of all of this is watching all the nerds looking even stranger than normal trying to cheat the bottle in the store.

dorks.

Cheating hasn't been possible for me. The numbers are much smaller this time 'round. It's actually hard to read them with the cap off the bottle, let alone being able to pick up on the "Please Play Again" text. It's a whole lot lighter too.

In a perfect world, they'd partner with Budweiser. But that's just me.

Really? I've found it just as easy -- though I noticed that holding your hand up to shield the glare makes it far easier. I think they should screw people over by having the losing text read "NO FREE SONG"

Cheating is easy. The problem for me is finding a store to do it in where no one can see you.

Most stores don't like it when customers pick up their products hold them up to their face for 5 seconds and put them back on the shelf. With all the other cheaters it can be tough to pull winners, so sometimes it takes 5 -6 bottles to pull a winner. By that time, you look pretty suspicious.

Yeah, but what can they do to you? It is not like you are stealing anything. I have been asked what I was doing and all I say to them is I am looking for a date of when the Pepsi product is to go old. They usually leave me alone. Most of the time I get no reaction, and this is after looking for a good 8-10 bottles as I like to get 3-5 at a a time. I have gotten over 80 free songs, only 120 more to go for my limit!

ort888 · Mar 10, 2005, 01:13 PM

I've gotten around 50 free songs myself. We have a Pepsi machine in our building and all of my co-workers give me their caps. It's awesome. I get about 2 a day from people.

It's weird. I know that they say 1 in 3 wins. But I seem to get a lot of winners out of that machine. I think 2 out of every 3 I pull are winners.

I don't really need to cheat that much. I only do it when I go to the grocery store to redeem my "buy one get one free" caps.
