Pepsi Number Fever: The Most Catastrophic Marketing Campaign in the Philippines (1992)


Listen Later


Have you ever been “349ed”? Have you heard of this Filipino slang before? Its origin story was due to a marketing blunder—one that would be the deadliest in history.  


Pepsi launched “Number Fever” in 1992, a lottery game that a lot of Filipinos hoped to win because it was a chance to become a millionaire. 


The correct 3-digit number combination on their Pepsi bottle cap would be the financial miracle to their woes. 


However, Pepsi mistakenly printed 800,000 winning caps, leading to lawsuits, riots, and deaths.
