I love the idea of collecting bottle caps and entering codes in for a chance to win something or get some Coke paraphenalia. However, when it takes flippin’ forever to get from one page to the next on a high-speed connection there is a problem.

Not to mention, trying to find anything specific on that site is darn near impossible. I’ve been trying to find where to enter a code to enter a sweepstakes. Sure, I can find the sweepstakes but there is no place to enter this specific code! Normally I’d spend a few minutes trying to ferret it out but when the speed of the site rivals that of turtles I’m not sticking around. Sorry, Coke.

For all of the money that it probably cost them to create this site, they missed the mark. Yes, I’ll still enter codes so my kids’ school can get stuff but, I’m spending my surfing time elsewhere.</rant>

Still love Coke products otherwise! Diet Coke with Lime…yum…
