And great promotion technique - I guess it is true that all media is good media. Well, that's a little extreme. But still. Great post!

There is huge potential for this to backfire and hurt your brand. So choosing your battles carefully is extremrely important. I think a fun battle between friends can stir interest and get others in the discussion. Thanks for the comments. Jason,

For example: I wouldn't argue with a purely marketing-oriented site, but you'll do just fine. I also think there are just so many things that can go wrong with this type of marketing, and you can seriously hurt your brand if you aren't careful.

Interesting note about the Pepsi Challenge: it was really the first strike in what would become known as the "Cola wars." After the Challenge, Coke and Pepsi would be forever locked in their eternal struggle for market share. I think they kicked it off in Texas or something. Pepsi is still better.
