Up and down and up ..

Having bought a Sub a couple of years ago I put my name on a "consideration " list for a Pepsi so imagine my delight when I got an email last week headed "Rolex Pepsi". Yes! i thought, at last and then read "unfortunately I cannot offer you a Pepsi at this time" and came crashing back to earth.."but I can offer you a BLNR as an alternative'' Wow. Not a Pepsi but a very very close second A rollercoaster of emotions in a few minutes! One very happy Rolex owner

Congrats, but if its the Pepsi you really want, I expect this won't scratch the itch for long.

Congratulations! I think the BLNR is a great choice even if you were hoping for a BLRO.

I'd be in the same boat. Pepsi #1 but I'd take the BLNR as an alternative choice at Retail.

I like both you did the right thing
And will be pleased with it and can add the Pepsi later on if it’s offered.
