I just got the bag. It came the exact date as quoted. This is the fourth item I have gotten from Pepsi: the hat, lunch box, the cd holder, and now the tote bag. I have been very happy with all items. They are free, how much can one really complain? I did notice the bag was off the site for a few days, but after about 4 days it was back on. I was so happy! The only thing I would comment about the bag is that the stripes appear black to me. I think it would be much better if they were navy stripes to go along with the colors of the rest of the bag. I really hope after 12/31 Pepsi will come up with another promotion like this one!!
