PepsiCo advertised Pepsi Stuff in a Super Bowl ad in 1996.
In that ad, Pepsi advertised a Harrier Jump Jet as a prize that can be redeemed for 7,000,000 points.
John Leonard realized that if he obtained 15 points, and paid for the rest of the points with a cheque, the jet would be cheaper than what is would cost to buy.
So Leonard mailed it to Pepsi but then Pepsi refused to give him a fighter jet.
A lawsuit was filed in an attempt by a party to obtain a fighter jet for 7,000,000 purchased points.
It was dismissed and is reported at Leonard v. Pepsico, Inc., 88 F. Supp 2d 116 (S.D.N.Y. 1996).
He did not get the jet and if he did, military capabilities would have had to be stripped, which would have made it unable to fly vertically.
