| Leonard really wanted the Harrier jet. He figured that 7,000,000 Pepsi points would require him to spend $700,000. At the time, disregarding the civilian restrictions from buying a military jet, the cost of the said Harrier jet was $23,000,0000. Thus, it seemed to Leonard like a discount of over $22 million dollars from Pepsi if the ad had been serious.
