Summary

The year was 1996, and the cola wars were raging. Ahhh, a simpler time. To stand out, Pepsi introduced "Pepsi Points" and said that if you earned 7 million of the, Pepsi would give you a Harrier Jet--one of the most advanced military jets of the time. They assumed nobody would be able to do it. But, of course, they were wrong. What ensued was a David and Goliath story for the ages. And I think we can all agree, PEPSI NEEDS TO GIVE THIS KID HIS JET!
