For the uninitiated, Pepsi once promised a harrier jet if you collected an absurd amount of rewards points. Someone did, Pepsi couldn’t fulfill the promise and was sued
Edit: actually details below. Never watched the documentary
They never sold enough reward points to redeem the harrier. But they did allow you to pay 10¢ per point to redeem rewards, so customers could get rewards even if they couldn’t quite collect enough points.
He sent Pepsi a $700,000 check to pay for enough points to redeem and a $37,000,000 jet as a reward. Then he sued Pepsi when they refused.
He didn’t win the case.
I feel like OP has photographic proof that Pepsi had that jet all along
Oh no no no no. You misunderstand. Pepsi is a legitimate military power.

I mean, they technically had the 6th largest navy. But I don’t know if they really counted as a “legitimate military power” if almost none of the boats are seaworthy.
none of the boats are seaworthy
You just described the modern Russian Navy and it’s considered “legitimate naval power”
I tried watching that Pepsi-Harrier-Jet Netflix documentary, since the whole idea seemed strange and quirky. But holly fuck do they trail off onto random tangents and tried padding the runtime. I couldn’t go on after around episode 3.
Putin: target the Coke factory. General: is Pepsi ok? We don’t have the range too get the coke factory.

Coke just took their opportunity to take down the competition and blame it on Russia.
