Looks more likeable than Coke's donation list, anyway.

Does this look like a site that is just set up to accumulate emails? Why wouldn't it be on a pepsi.com address and why isn't there a decent Pepsi logo?

Damn! The "Get Mt-tau a PSG-1" fund didn't make the list...

LOL @ Myrmidonisia :D

I agree. It's a scam.

No, it's not a "scam." I got the URL from an email I get from Pepsi on a regular basis. Quit being so frakking cynical!

So what was the surprise that they promised you, in return for giving them your email address?

I'm not going to tell you! Either find out for yourself, or STFU! :p

The main pepsi.com website is just about as amateurish as the forgoodnessflakes.com site. Maybe Pepsi just needs a new advertising department.

Okay, but doesn't it still look like it was done by a third grader to collect email addresses? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Nice trout!

And it's only a site for US-Americans... That's too bad! *takes a sip of Coke*

I noticed your addresses for the email. All official Pepsi email is ....@PBG.com not ....@PBSG.com.

If you do a whois lookup for www.pepsi.com you get the same addresses as in the lookup that was previously posted so I'm assuming it's legit.
