58 entries (from caps) and nothing. Plus this contest has a east coast bias. Like 80% of all the winners are from the north east (can tell from the winners map)

BOO!

That is all.

No doubt.

I actually played this one cause we have a Pepsi machine here at work where I'd get a pop or two everyday, so I figured I'd enter them. Not sure how many I entered, < 30 I believe, I did end up winning a Packer's winter hat though. :D

I totally disgree, I've won several nice prizes from various pepsi sweeps, the folks at Young America are a pleasure to deal with.

So far on thos promo I've only got 2 tee shirts but on the last I got 2 really thick,nice quality hooded sweatshirts, I've also won a 32 inch Sharp LCD tv and PS3 so I'm loving Pepsi/ mountain dew:)

I used my mountain dew xbox 360 launch codes for two keychains and two skullcaps/beanies. I live in FL, and I won something from Pepsi. FL =! Northeast.

This thread = Fail.

Heh, right on. I wonder what the reason is for so many more winners in the northeast though. Florida also has many more winners. Here's a pic of the winner's map: picture

I don't know what mountain dew xbox 360 launch codes are but that's a different contest. I'm only talking about the Pepsi "call your play" contest, not every soda contest in the history of the world.

Also like the other guy said I wish they would all just revert to "look under the cap to see if you've won!" instead of showing a string of 8 letters/numbers where you have to online, register somewhere, and enter the code, all to find out you didn't win a god damn thing.

Yep. Way to not refute the OP's point.
