    cookstar123: if you can get the codes without opening the cans (I believe some people have made a fine art of it ;) ), why not give away some of the Pepsi to friends and family? It seems an awful shame just to waste it all. :( (Unless you actually are using it as drain cleaner but surely your drains don't need cleaning that much...? ;) )

    Come on, lighten up. This is an PURCHASE NECESSARY competition... we are all (or at least those of us who are entering) buying pepsi in order to enter, so why pick on cookstar specifically?

    I don't think you're being very fair. If you have money issues fair enough - noone's forcing you to buy it...

    I can only speak for myself but IF what we have been told is true, why spend more money on purchases than the actually prize value?
    It doesn't make sense.
    Not only that, I am concerned that if someone is buying something they don't even like, then throwing it away, just to get a code then it DOES go against this forum rules and the end result will be that comps like this no longer get posted and then we ALL suffer. :(

    LOL!! What i dont understand is why someone with obviously NO NEED to save money as can afford to throw £90+ at Pepsi on a money saving forum! lol.

    Anyway as much as this topic gives me the giggles i am off to do Competitions.
    As really have no chance of winning this one as i dont buy 120 cans at a time like some lol

    Aww, that's a pity. At least you've been trying. :) Could you put them on something like Freecycle? (Mind you, I don't know if you're allowed to put food and drink on there...?)

    or Give them to some kind of charity/homeless shelter place/fete.

    I dont know there must be some use to them rather than pure waste!!!
