This is a simple story that MacDailyNews readers will write below. We have received numerous email messages from MDN readers either reporting Pepsi iTunes winning caps or complaining that the only Pepsi iTunes bottles they’ve seen are the ones on Apple’s website.
Unfortunately, most of these messages do not state the readers’ locations. So, tell us all where you found your Pepsi iTunes bottles or where you’ve looked, but found not a one.
By the way, the iPod Garage “iTunes Pepsi Bottlecap Map” which tracks winning and losing caps (and cups) and their locations across the United States is here.

8 winning caps, on regular Pepsi bottles, starting the day after the Super Bowl – all purchased from a Hess Mart in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Hint: hold the bottle above eye level and tip the bottle before purchasing – you can read whether it’s winner or not with a little practice! I am 8 for 8!
None in St. Louis Missouri – I’ve checked major grocery stores, Walgeen’s and convenience stores. I like Sprite better but willing to switch to Sierra Mist for two months.

Hey, James – I’m in Clifton Park, NY (about 30 miles south of Saratoga) and we have had caps here since the Super Bowl, too. I have won 3 times out of about 6 tries. I am planning on using your hint to increase my odds!
I have not seen them in Traverse City, MI yet.
I’ve driven from Columbia, SC to Tallahassee, FL and back since Pepsi launched the promotion. And I made stops in SC, GA, and FL with the intent of seeing if I see a specially marked Pepsi, but I did not find a single one. So I bought my usual Sprite instead.
I have not seen any caps or fountain cups w/ iTunes caps in Detroit/Redford, MI
They just appeared in a Plano, Texas (Dallas area) Wal-Mart over the weekend, but only in the singles cooler at the registers. All the 6-packs and other bulk offereings were the older bottles. I bought several bottles, and opened the first last night – a winner!
My son got one yesterday (Washington, DC area)
We have plenty here in Central Indiana, I bought 2 winners this past weekend.
No. Mississippi Gulf Coast, New Orleans, Mobile, AL
I’ve already spoken with bottler’s in these areas and there is no intent of doing this promotion b/c they are already doing a NBA promo.
I plan to introduce an email campaign to local distributor with my local users group.a
Have not seen one yet in San Francisco…
Have not seen any yet, or talked to anyone who has found one yet, in the Albuquerque, NM area.
walmart harriman NY had tons of DIET pepsi with itunes caps. Found two regular pepis’s. two winners.
Non seen in the DC area! (^_^?)
I live outside of Philadelphia and I’ve “won” 12 songs. I’ve only bought 12 bottles of Pepsi and Sierra Mist too. The trick is to simply turn the bottle at an angle so you can peer through the plastic to see underneath the cap. You can easily tell but you have to look at the right angle. It’s pretty much become my routine for lunch now.
I’ve seen them at several 7-11 stores in Dallas along with the iTunes Big Gulp/Slurpee cups. Haven’t found the Pepsi bottles though at any other store so far however. But then again, Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper outsell Pepsi 20 to one here anyway.
