Then they couldn't target ads and suggestive sell you crap.  If they are giving away a trip to <insert location> courtesy of Orbitz.com or something part of the argeement with Orbitz to help sponsor the prize is all that advertising they can put in front of you by having to go to the contest site and enter your code.  In the end it is all about the company and sponsor and nothing about you.  Just my opinion.

A version of the drink was marketed for three years in the UK during the late 1990s. Many believe the urban legend that Mountain Dew is illegal (in its American formulation) to sell in the UK due to its high caffeine content and excessive artificial ingredients. However, the version sold in the UK was a lurid green color and contained far more caffeine, synthetic sugars, and artificial colorings than the American version. It even discolored the teeth and tongue of its drinkers for several hours after consumption.

read the rest of the entry! - I'm not going to try drinking it again!

I use Pepsi for this... works great.

In the Navy we used a kool-aid type drink served on the mess decks to clean floor drains and brass fixtures.  It was lovingly called Bug-Juice.  I never drank that stuff.  Smiley  I still drink the soda though.  A cold Mountain Dew while coding is quite nice.

In Canada Mountain Dew has no caffeine in it but recently they came out with a new Dew that they call an "energy drink" which is just American Mountain Dew with a different name so it has caffeine.

I don't really drink pop except for sometimes when I go to KFC/Taco Bell.

This would be a great idea for promoters who wanted to collect phone numbers for text messaging and other ads....
They could have a multi-channel marketing approach, with a channel making money from website ads, and another making money from cell phone ads....
Then also, they could go for a synnergetic effect, sending a reply with a url, so that you could still go to the web site and see other goodies, and all those other ads.
