To all of you out there who are still struggling to find a Wii, I offer the perfect solution: just drink 2,084 bottles of Coke! Sure, the sugar intake alone will rot out all your teeth and you will be paying about $3,271.97 more than you should, but how else are you going to play Super Paper Mario, right?
My Coke Rewards, a Coca-Cola promotion that lets you trade points collected from every Coke product bought for cool stuff, is now offering a Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS for 6,250 and 3,250 points, respectively. I had never heard of this program until today and, once I looked into it, was genuinely surprised by how many different things you can trade in your points for. Everything from a Pirates of the Caribbean pinball machine to a flat screen HDTV is offered on the mega company’s Web site.
Granted, by the time you drink enough soda to get a Wii, Nintendo will most likely have already released its next system, but, hey, beggars can’t be choosers. I just wish Newcastle offered a similar deal. I would have the greatest entertainment center ever by next Tuesday.

Screw this, oh yeah and screw the Wii too.
And even then, you still loose. Though I always thought that employing the homeless for shit like this would be great, They're naturals at gathering cans. You know how it is.
we have www.icoke.ca and you need like 12,000 for 2 movie tickets. Each bottle of coke is worth 500 points and it costs 100 points (max 10 times a day) to enter to win a wii giveaway everyday. I have 2 movie tickets and about 13,000 points...(I get lids from work)
Seriously, don't drink soda guys. It's terrible for you. Water and juice. WATER AND JUICE.
-> deiga: Little known fact, orange juice is actually worse for your teeth than coke. That said, I very rarely drink soft drinks myself. I like my pancreas better working(diabetes is not fun, trust me).
Even though I already have a Wii maybe I'll sell a new one. They're still hard to come by near me.
