Remember that "Pepsi Stuff" commercial from a couple years ago

the one that showed a kid winning a Harrier jump jet for several million points? The advertisers meant it as a joke because they didn't think anyone could possibly get that many points. Funny thing is, some kid did it. Actually, he submitted 15 points and a check for $700,000 to buy the balance of the required points. When he tried to collect his Harrier, well, the soda company couldn't deliver as promised. The case actually went to court where he lost. Too bad, getting a multi-million dollar jet for $700K would've been a good deal, even if the operational and maintenance costs would've been a bear.
