  • I'm thinking of stopping now. I've only done 24 cans, but have come to the conclusion that this comp is pants compared to Magnum. It's just so boring only having one big prize per draw. Mind you, it's a £300 big prize, so that's £3000 per hour compared to Magnum's £430. But then you can enter more so it's costing more cos the number of entries goes up and the odds go down.

    Is it worth getting more cans and carrying on? To answer that we need to know the average amount spent on Pepsi to get a win. I'll work it out if people let me know how many cans they've entered and how many phones they've won, if any. Please let me know over the next 24 hours and I'll come back with useful statistics.

    To get the ball rolling, I've had 0 phones in 24 entries.

    Good idea but not sure you can really work this one out as it seems to be pot luck a lot of the time. I was lucky enough to win 2 phones within one hour hence only using 6 codes! :)
  • i entered one online and 7 on my phone yesterday but no win, tho i never had a reply on my online entry !!!
    thought that one was a omen as i dropped the ring pull in the can but it landed up so i could read the code with a torch lol.

    I succumbed to this competition yesterday...I usually buy Diet Coke, but I do go for Diet Pepsi when it's on special offer.

    At risk of sounding boring/patronising, these competitions are only really worthwhile if you like the product or don't hate it anyway. I grew to hate Magnums, so didn't buy/eat many, and my £30 of wins more than covered the cost of the ice creams in the first place so that was fine.

    I genuinely like Diet Pepsi, so am happy to keep buying it, but I only drink 2-3 cans a day and have no desire to fill myself with 6 or so a day for the sake of this competition.

    I've entered 2 codes so far and not had a win. What will be, will be but I'm not too fussed as Diet Pepsi is something I enjoy anyway.

    Strongbow, on the other hand...no thanks!!:p

    Not sure if it helps but I've bought 48 cans (spent £16) Entered 26 codes so far and won 2 phones (I know I've been incredibly lucky:o)
