For those who don't know, Pepsi actually has a monthly contest in which anyone can submit ideas for a grant between $5k and $250k, people vote on them, and the winner gets the grant to accomplish that idea.

Also, according to that phone number, my "local" representative is located in the UK. Maybe they think that Old England = New England.
