I haven't seen any yet. Granted, I live in the wild west, but last year they appeared right on schedule. Is anyone else still not seeing them?

I live in Berkeley, CA (Bay Area) and I've seen them in a few stores. I haven't bought any though because I've seen the promotion caps only on the diet Pepsi bottles and I almost threw up last year after tasting one of those

. If I see a Sierra Mist, I might give my luck a go.

Spotted in Chicago a few days ago.

I got one at the Cleveland Auto Show last night (it was a loser though...the Pepsi cap, not the auto show

), so they're around here.

Anyone know if you can tip this batch of bottles to spot the winners?

Spotted earlier here for me. At least a couple weeks.

I've gotten about 20 so far.

edit: as to the tipping question, I've only bought 25 sodas or so, so there ya go. Watch out for the "Buy one get one free". This also takes 4 lines.

I saw a yellow cap Diet Pepsi this morning on the MBTA. Didn't have the nerve to ask if it was a winner. Wish I had when I saw them throw it in the trash upon exiting the train.

BRussell · Mar 2, 2005, 06:02 PM

Apparently the caps are the same as last year and you can see if they're winners or not. But obviously I don't know from direct experience yet.

Last year my wife would go shopping and stand there tilting the Pepsis in the store looking for winning caps. I wish I had seen that.

But it was cool because she'd come home with 5 or 6 Pepsis and a 100% win rate. I didn't have the guts to do it in front of everyone in the store like that.

MaxPower2k3 · Mar 2, 2005, 06:29 PM

Yeah, you can still read them just as easily. i do it in the A&P near my school with no problem. it's a disgusting store, nobody really cares what you do.

the_glassman · Mar 2, 2005, 06:34 PM

Just won my first. I tried playling last time but every single one of them was an instant loser. I was aware of being able to check them out, but for some reason it just felt wrong I tell you.

What to use it on?

I tried that and won. It's easier to tell with Mountain Dew.

cla214 · Mar 2, 2005, 06:48 PM

They've arrived in nyc... only pepsi, diet pepsi & diet mountain dew. not regular mountain dew yet.

A&P still exists??!?

SOLIDAge · Mar 2, 2005, 08:50 PM

i've been drinking them forever now.
i work at a gas station
i'm 15/15 on winners

typoon · Mar 2, 2005, 09:21 PM

I'm 5 for 8 but of those 8 I've won 3 buy one 20 OZ Dew or Pepsi and get one free. So i guess you could say i'm 8 for 8. The other thing I noticed is that they are on MANY more things this time around. Cherry Pepsi, Mountain Dew regualr Pepsi, Diet Pepsi. As well as on Cups in the movies as well.

I'm in Austin and they were out at my corner store the day before the Super Bowl, at least. So far, I'm 3 for 3, and I haven't peeked!

deej5871 · Mar 3, 2005, 12:36 AM

In NW Ohio I'm 2 for 2. Weird part: the store that I bought them in only had the yellow caps on 1 liter (not 2 liter) bottles, and not on the 20 oz. I'd think that normally the 20 oz. bottles sell faster, so they would be the first to have the caps, but this was not the case. Anyone have any idea why this might be?

But, I have seen them on 20 oz. bottles at other stores, so this was a strange fluke I think (it was in a small local convenience store/gas station).

TheJoshu · Mar 3, 2005, 12:44 AM

Available everywhere here in upstate NY (near Woodstock).

I don't understand what's wrong with the tilting. You're inspecting the merchandise. Why be so self-conscious?

CHEATER!

Uriel · Mar 3, 2005, 04:22 PM

I live on a Pepsi campu, so I just grab the caps out of the reycling bins all the time. I think I've won about 20.

It's amazing that students on campus wouldn't be interested in a free song.

True. There could be a rat tail or something at the bottom of that bottle-- better to look.

Toutgood · Mar 3, 2005, 08:39 PM

I dare you to try it in the bodega around the corner from where i used to live.

Ooooh no!

dampeoples · Mar 3, 2005, 09:59 PM

Plenty here in NC, I've got all the people at work bringing me caps

Dougmc · Mar 10, 2005, 09:58 AM

I'm curious if anyone has won an iPod Mini yet from the Pepsi promotion. They say they're giving one away every hour.

I'm only around 60% on winning songs from the caps. Since I'm buying from a machine, I can't pick and chose what bottle I get.

I truly have a problem�I don't like Pepsi (I'm a Coke drinker) but I can't help but try to score a free song.

Yeah, has anyone seen any links or heard of any notifications reguarding the iPod Mini's contest?

BRussell · Mar 10, 2005, 11:33 AM

I still haven't seen any iTunes bottles.
