	Description:		In the 1990s, Pepsi launched a TV advert offering everything from T-shirts to sunglasses for Pepsi Points and, as the punchline, a Harrier Fighter Jet. One college student decided it wasn’t a joke. He raised the money, sent Pepsi a cheque, and demanded his jet. What followed became one of the wildest marketing blunders and lawsuits in advertising history. In this five-minute episode of Money2Byrne: Pocket Change, David Byrne tells the hilarious true story behind “Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?”, how a soft-drink promo spiralled into a courtroom showdown, and why every marketer should read the fine print before promising the impossible.
