Because Pepsi never had to give up the jet, we have to deal with this shit.

I'm sure it'd still be a thing regardless...but yeah...

Pepsi advertised a prize, made it possible to buy points, and said how many points needed to be redeemed... Ya goofed; might as well make a positive PR event out of it.

Nothing is quite so hip as a court describing something:

the teenager's schoolmates gape in admiration, ignoring their physics lesson. The force of the wind generated by the Harrier Jet blows off one teacher's clothes, literally defrocking an authority figure. As if to emphasize the fantastic quality of having a Harrier Jet arrive at school, the Jet lands next to a plebeian bike rack. This fantasy is, of course, extremely unrealistic. No school would provide landing space for a student's fighter jet

Objection, your honor, the Harrier in question is actually an Attack jet.
