It was one of those "weird facts" posts always bouncing around social media, the kid that saved up the Pepsi points and then demanded the harrier jet he'd seen in the commercial. It was a wild story and a humorous consequence of reckless advertising. You can find plenty of YouTube videos on the subject, and that's probably as far as you should take it.
"Pepsi, Where's My Jet?" a pretty good 60 minutes of material padded way the hell out to 157; a series of unnecessary reenactments and loads of extraneous characters, and I repeatedly wanted the filmmakers to get back to the main story. And there's way more Michael Avenatti than anyone deserves. Yuck.
And the kid's being twenty years old made it seem less like a consumer wanting what's promised than just some guy gaming the system. I did learn a few things (and that's always good) but enough to justify the overproduction and distracted storytelling?
Nah.
