Recently, I managed to see something which I rarely witness...my LUCK on positive side. Amidst this metal-melting humid heat, I bought myself a MOUNTAIN DEW 6oo ml bottle. And what I saw after peeling of the outside sticker was a surprise for me. My LUCK won me a cash reward of Re 1.00*
* conditions apply
* conditions applyCan you believe the two divine words "conditions apply" on that Re 1 prize too...unique and an apt example for the word 'absurd'
No issues; just two questions in my mind –Firstly, marketing strategies like these...will they ever work !!
Secondly and more importantly, who will ENCASH my lottery ??
What a F**k if this is LUCK...nice one liner na :P...lol

hey....i guess we share the luck thingi....no actually mine is worse....i havnt even won a ruppee lottery ever....but i still havnt stopped trying :)
i will tell you why promotional campaigns like these work.
because even though you found the idea totally absurd and insulting even, the next time you need a cool drink, you might still end up doing the dew.
marketers get away with bloody murder because consumers don't understand their own power.
suggestion: write a mail to these guys telling them how you feel about this and see what happens. their email id: corporate.communications@intl.pepsi.com
