In fact, it was so extraordinary that one viewer at home thought to himself, “I want that.” The commercial for the soda offered a points promotion: 75 points for a T-shirt, 175 points for sunglasses, and a leather jacket for 1,450 points. But that didn’t entice John Leonard. No, Leonard wanted the jet. He just needed to accumulate seven million points… just like the commercial said.
