Coke VS Pepsi - Who Cares?

I for one love them both!  They both have given me tons of free stuff this year.  I just looked back at my accounts for both www.mycokerewards.com and www.pepsistuff.com to review all of the things that they sent me and I was surprised at just how much stuff I was sent.  The Pepsi promotion is now over, but we had a good run.  The Coke promotion will finish this year.  So, in no particular order, here is all of the stuff they have sent me.

Coke-    

360 Photos from Snapfish

5 Photo Books

4 Cokes

$38 Subway G.C.

$20 Omaha Steaks

3 tickets to Six Flags ($150.00 value)

$25 Rest G.C.

2 Blockbuster Videos

8 Magazine Subscriptions

2 Dominos Pizzas

$10 Foot Locker G.C.

A Huge Donation was made to Toys For Tots

Several People also took caps for Photo Books and Six Flags Tickets

I estimated this to retail for about $660.00

Pepsi did not run the promotion for long, but they still sent lots of good stuff like:

1 Duffle Bag

1 Belt Buckle

2 Beach Bags

2 Lunch Bags

1 pr Pajamas

5 T Shirts

5 CDs

15 DVDs

Several people also got lots of MP3 downloads

Approx retail value - $400.00

So needless to say, little Coke/Pepsi caps that we all throw away do add up if you take the time to enter them in the computer.  I know that you are all dying to know why I have not died from diabetic shock due to so much cola intake.  I recieved all of the caps for free from a friend at my hubby's work.  I really only wanted to get 1 ticket to Six Flags and he soon gave me enough for 3.  The rest as they say is history.  I still have more caps and yes, you can make fun of me now!

Family Fun


Hubby trying to find our child in the giant foam pit!

Chunky emerges from the sea of foam blocks!

I love this pic! We both look so happy!

Chunky jumping for joy that both of his parents were able to take him to play on a Wednesday!

Yesterday, the family visited a local gymnastics club that opened up their gym for family fun! It only cost $3.00 for all of us to go play and act like a bunch of monkeys for 2 hours. We also acted like Tarzan! The gym was equipped with a huge tarzan rope hanging from the ceiling that let you fly over the foam pit! We also played on the trampolines and on all of the other equipment like the balance beam, parallel bars, rings, vaults, and foam floor toys. We had a blast! I really can not put into words just how much fun we had! Chunky has been talking about it all day today and can't wait to go back! It made for a great way to end the new year! Happy New Year everyone!
