A college student saw a Pepsi commercial, did the math, and tried to claim a United States Marine Corps Harrier jump jet. What followed became one of the most famous advertising lawsuits in American history and inspired the hit Netflix documentary Pepsi, Where's My Jet? This week, Michael Kent explores the true story behind the Pepsi Points promotion, the courtroom battle that followed, and why one joke commercial is still taught in law schools today. Then we play the Yap Yap Quiz with host of Scam Nation, Brian Brushwood!
