I swear NOBODY uses them. I remember once I got a cap from a Pepsi bottle saying "buy one get one free" when I was in a Dunkin Donuts, and when I went back with it the next day the person behind the counter had no idea how to handle it. After asking the other employees what to do and not getting an answer, they eventually went to get the manager to ask them. But surprise surprise, they didn't have a clue what to do either. They eventually sold me the two Pepsi's because they HAD to, but even as I was leaving they were trying to figure out what to do with the cap, which they eventually stuck in the register. So unless that Dunkin Donuts in particular was just disorganized, this makes me wonder how rarely those two for one caps (or any caps worth something) ever get used. :)

What did you get for them? This year I got a kitchen apron and a glove for Pepsi and Fanta codes.

I got some DVDs, a couple of T-shirts, a Pirates of the Caribbean poster, and a baseball cap.

How many codes do you need to get them? I needed 40 codes to order an apron and 50 to have a glove. You can’t order anything really cool here, mostly kitchen stuff and the coolest things are really expensive, like 500 or 800 codes for a mini fridge or something. I barely managed to collect mine and it was possible mostly thanks to the help of my cousin whose links (she’s a contestmaniac like me) to the contests she was taking part in, I clicked on to help her win.

I used to use them! I haven't bought any soda bottles for a really long time though. Like since the only thing you could win was another soda, LOL. But if I ever do again, and I have a winning cap, I'll use it. D:
