iTunes and 7/11 promotion announced
Today Apple introduced a promotion with 7/11 convenience stores which will give away 8 million songs from the iTunes Music Store via 32 oz. Slurpee cups. I don't believe this is a contest like the Pepsi promotion, which featured a one-in-three chance of winning; instead it appears that every 32 oz. Slurpee cup will bear a valid redemtion code. From there it works much like the Pepsi promotion did. Once you've received a code, go to the iTunes Music Store and click the redeem button. That's it! The sweepstakes ends July 31, 2005, and songs must be redeemed your August 31, 2005. Looks like I'm off to 7/11!

Or at least, that's how well my luck was running for me..." Oof, sorry about that. Must have been because the rest of us were taking all of the good ones. ;) ~ SP

I did register 200 iTunes points in the last Pepsi promotion... :) Now I gotta figure out whether it is worth it on this promo regarding Coca-Cola's portion of the winnings.

If you order any large combo, the drink comes with two peel-off stickers - one is a chance-to-win contest that is also on any other drink, and the other is a free song on Musicmatch (always wins).

Or maybe a peel off sticker on your finger sandwich. Heh. Just kidding, I'm 1/4 Brit (though I always hated that Grandma's cooking. My Italian Grandmother's food kicked ass on my Brit Grandmother's food). Oh..slurpee..frozen flavored drink. Like a smoothie, but with coke instead of juice..yea, yea, what's a smoothie...google it.

They're obnoxiously sweet and well-known for giving you a killer brain freeze, in which an icepick to the head seems less painful.

This promotion is going to result in even MORE hours at the gym. I'd assume that the codes would be hidden under a peel-off type sticker, like McDonald's Monopoly game, to ensure purchase. I'm assuming that 7-11 folks would probably get annoyed if you went up and started stripping all their cups of slurpees.
