Cool! That is something I've never heard of before, but I live at the other half of the planet. Were you supposed to have five different ones so you could spell "VIC20", then send them in and hope you'd win?

[Mayhem]

Wow, that's something new not heard about.

Do you think you will get a Vic-20 if you send them to Pepsi?

Apparently Ghislain de Blois (homebrew developer) got his first VIC through this contest. He wrote that the "C=" cap was the hardest to find.

I do not recall that specific contest, but there were many like it in the early-1980s. Invariably, one specific letter or game-piece would be nearly impossible to find.

 

I won some small amounts of money from these lid liners (e.g. $.25), but never any of the big prizes.

My brother won an Amiga 500 in a cereal box contest in 1986. He had to draw a picture of the future and write a small story about it. Never thought he would have had a chance so when it showed up on our doorstep we were all shocked. Wore that A500 out playing games till the mid 90s.
