From the FAQ page:

From: someone

7. How can I get my hands on a Google Gulp?
This "limited release" beta product is available to anyone who turns in a used Google Gulp bottle cap at any local retailer. If you don't have any Gulp caps, ask a friend to give you one.

8. What if none of my friends have a Gulp cap to give me? Can't you just give Google Gulp to anyone who wants it?
Well, we're thinking about it, but, um, you have to understand that there are many considerations which go into deciding how to distribute --

9. I mean, isn't this whole invite-only thing kind of bogus?
Dude, it's like you've never even heard of viral marketing.

...

11. When will you take Google Gulp out of beta?
Man, if you pressure us, you just drive us away. We'll commit when we're ready, okay? ...

It's good to be able to make fun of yourself.

So when's Gmail going to be out of beta?

I work with several pharmacists, one didn't get it was a joke and flipped at the idea of serotonin reuptake inhibitors being in a drink. He said "you can't keep those stable during blah blah" and had about a dozen people laughing at him.

Thanks!

Thanks, that was pretty good. I like the GMail-invite "don't worry – that just means you aren't cool" part. What was their joke from last year? I vaguely remember thinking it was funny, but don't remember what it was about.

Hehe Google/Gmail rocks... and to counter the April Fool's joke, they ARE giving every subscriber 2GB of space now for their Gmail account. If I were to sign up all my invitations for myself, I'd have about a quarter of a terabyte of storage free.
