FREE 2 liter bottle of Sierra Mist soft drink

[TechnoKid]

Yay!...just printed out some of the coupons...great deal! This will be great as I can get free soda for my school's upcoming Choir Show this saturday. (if the stores around here will let me get the bottles, hopefully).

The "5" on a page pdf is of good quality print too!
Should update the first post with links to the new pdf pages or what not??

UPDATE: Here's some high-speed links due to the large size of the files:

JPG
PDF (3 coupons on one sheet of 8.5" x 11" paper)

(Server's on a cable modem with crappy 40KBs upload cap for the time being, and all you guys hammering it isn't doing any good. As soon as I'm back to UMASS, back to the dual-OC3s )

I would host it bu the legality of it is something I want to deal with


either way on campus we have an OC12 or I could use it through through dixiesys......maybe next time for a cool video or something

Be warned! DO NOT go to the Pathmark of Linden, NJ.

I grabbed 4 Sierra Mists and went to the self-scan and then the supervisor of the self-scan was staring at me (I have no clue why) and then soon after while I was scanning the Sierra Mist coupons, the manager came to me and said you can't buy this because "The coupon is fraudulent." I tried to explain to his stupid a** that it was legitimately obtained, but he said "I have a business to run." I soon gave up and left.

Then, while I was at the parking lot, I felt like that manager deserved a good yelling. So, I went back in there and took 4 Sierra Mists and this time went to the express lane. The stupid lady didn't know how to key in the UPC numbers and soon after that the manager was called. He came and said to me "Same story as last time. I believe these coupons are fraudulent." I should have said to him, "I believe your hairline is fraudulent." Well I kept arguing and all he kept saying was he isn't going to accept these coupons because he has a business to run and he kept claiming it was fraud. He was trying to take the coupons since they were on the belt thing, so I quickly took them back. I cursed at him a few times and then when he was about to pick up 1 of the Sierra Mists, I threw it towards him and while I was walking out he said, "Dont ever come back here." Yeah ok I'm not listening to his dumb a**. I may go there tomorrow and try again.

Hope everyone else hasn't had this much bad luck!

i got f--cked twice. I went to target with 5 bottles and 5 coupons. Guy for some reason immediatly knew i was gonna pay with coupon and he said if your paying with print out we arent taking them. So i head to albertsons with 5 bottles and the lady at the register only let me get 1. Said 1 per customer. I told her it says i per perchase, and that i could go in line again and get another, so it would be better if she saved my time. She didnt buy it and i wasnt in the mood to over soda i prolly wont drink so i left. I guess some people are just good at giving you sh-t.

Man, you are lucky he didn't call the cops. That's bordering on assault.

The server has been back on UMASS's dual-OC3's for a couple weeks now. I can't wait for them to scale our fiber connections up to OC12... stupid state budgets!

Here's the history of Sierra Mist.

7UP was marketed and distributed by Pepsi but was owned by Dr Pepper.

Based on the huge response of 7UP, Pepsi decided to create their version called Sierra Mist and cancelled any contracts with Dr Pepper to distribute and market 7up.

Actually, 7Up itself a product of Royal Crown Cola, (RC Cola), not Dr. Pepper. Dr Pepper itself is also a product of RC Cola. RC Cola broke DrP and 7Up away as their own company because RC Cola has been failing for years now. Pepsi had no connection with 7up. Why would Pepsi market and distribute a product which competes with their own lemon-lime Slice?
Also, You may have noticed that lemon-lime Slice is all but non-existant. L-L Slice was Pepsi's competitor to Coca-Cola's Sprite. It's sales sucked, so Pepsi killed the Lemon Lime Slice Line and a month later introduced Sierra Mist as their competitor to Sprite.
Sierra Mist is undoubtedly the underdog, because Sprite has been an established name for decades now. Hence, Pepsi's efforts to promote SM through sales, coupons and free samples at every turn, especially in areas where teenagers are the common demographic, such as around colleges... When SM first launched, there were free sample booths at every store within 2 miles of my college for weeks, as well as at all the college basketball games and on the campus itself.


I may be wrong about the company's connections, but I'm just bored

ACTUALLY, in some markets Pepsi DOES market Dr. Pepper, but where I live Coca-Cola markets Dr. Pepper. I work in sales.

[spliffstar69]

Poll:
How may bottles have you gotten so far?

Just interested in how it easy it may be to get multiples

 

[Chrishuff1]

Just got 12 from Meijer. Have about 35 total. The lady stopped us as we left, she thought we stole them :Q

EDIT: Just got 24 from meijer in one pop The cashier was like "Dang! 24 2-liter bottles for $2.40, you GOTTA hook me up!"

 

[hindupowr]

can someone who actually got the coupons to work, post a link to the file that they printed them out with. I tried to print 2 different files , 3 coupons on one page, pdf file, and the 3 coupons in the gif format....on a couple printers, and all the coupons came out fuzzy. took them to the stores, but no one is accepting printed coupons...any help with this? or perhaps which stores will accept them?

 

[Dacalo]

its unbelievable that so many people are abusing this offer :disgust: :|

 

[Chrishuff1]

It didnt say "limit one" so what do you expect? If it said limit one i'd only get one, per day that is.

[LurkingInNC]

For anyone who didn't get in on this yet... coupon expires Mon, March 10.

 

[MaxDepth]

Somebody ought to run this by one of their local TV stations. Ask them to ask the company after March 10th how many coupons were turned in.

Ought to be a hoot...

 

[Chrishuff1]

Actually, I live in Linden. About a month and a half ago me and my friends went to that Pathmark and got around 70 bottles of Sierra Mist and all we paid was tax. We cleaned them out that day. This probably happened to you because of me and the manager figured it out. Sorry
