C'mon, what are the chances of winning that? I don't drink soda anyway.

Every ten minutes? Thats more then twenty million 360s given out. They may only have five and just send five lucky caps out. The five who get them win it.

pretty good math, but i wouldent be surprised if you read it somewhere

It was just a guess. Every ten minutes would be over 500 million 360s given out.

9 weeks - 42 days - 1008 hours - 60480 minutes
So, not it's actually only 6,048 Xbox 360's. You can check my math. (9 * 7 * 24 * 60 / 10)

Bottom of the first paragraph.

Even if it was nine months, that would still only be about 24,000 Xbox 360's.

he has connections lol

it pissed me off, people around my area won the 360, a town RIGHT NEXT to me, (i live just barely on the boarder of the two towns) won about 2!

i was mad.... i dont think i could handle the dissapointment again... i feel like that guy in the commercial before he heard of the contest

.....?

i wanted to know if anyone here has signed up or won, not if gatorade is better than aquafina.

(BTW, aquafina beats gatorade, sorry, just the way it is because if you drink gatorade your whole life, youll die sooner

)

You guys may want to think about keeping it within the subject or I may have to do something drastic

and I don't believe in any of that free stuff. It's all a hoax people..

Think about it logically. It costs some money to make mountain dew. Therefore, for them to make a profit, they have to sell you at least enough mountain dew that their profit is mroe than the cost of a 360. That means that they must sell enough mountain dews to make 300 dollars of profit (plus marketing, plus contest maintainance costs, plus misc costs) in order to even be able to give you an Xbox 360 for free.

First of all, if you drink 800ish mountain dews (dollar a piece, half profit for the company, half costs and price hikes? Terrible estimate, but proves the point) in only a few weeks, chances are you won't live to see your Xbox 360. I love mountain dew as much as anyone else, but I don't like dying.

While this is a really cool contest, and there's mroe winners than contests usually have, don't go out of your way to try to win. It's unlikely...

I just entered but I doubt I'll win.

If you were about to post them, then the moderators didn't do anything.
