A lifetime supply of inconvenience...

[kristinedeanna]

I just came across this article and it's hilarious. People are discussing all the different 'lifetime supply' sweepstakes they've won and what it was like. Here are some of their comments:

About 4 years ago, I won a cinema premier card, which entitled me to two free movies a week for the duration of a year. The cinema chain dragged their feet when it came to delivering the prize, but I persisted and eventually received the card a few months later. Turns out the card has lasted for longer than a year, still currently in use and set to expire in 2116. -Jakes1WP

A colleague of mine won a "year's supply of beer" from a craft brewery in an office raffle. They sent her one bottle of beer a month. 12 beers total.

I have a Dunkin Donuts lifetime free card. Won it in a competition about a year and a half ago organized by them. It had about 1000 participants, and I was the winner. So I get free donuts for a lifetime (the catch is that I can get it only once a week, have to eat it in the outlet itself and can't share with anyone else). -wales_huobi

My friend won a "lifetime supply" of Pringles. She got something like 300 cans of Pringles, and they were gone in a few months, but she lives on. -pinch

Basically, when I was attending university, I noticed that the Coca-Cola I bought near the school just SUCKED. Like it didn't taste like Coca-Cola at all, more like an RC mixed with Pepsi. I commented on this to all my friends, and they had no clue what I was talking about, but I could blind test cokes from home versus "university cokes" and get it right every time. Eventually, I sent an e-mail to Coca-Cola basically just asking why the Cokes in Cookeville sucked so much and could they fix it. They (quite surprisingly) took it seriously and asked for numbers of the affected cans tracked it down to the bottler (canner?) and had it fixed within 6 weeks. Sent me a stack of just hundreds of silver "free 12 pack of any coke product" coupons and thanked me for my time. Worked out great. Still had over a hundred of them left at the end of the year. -tehm

Have you ever won a lifetime supply of anything? Would you WANT to? hahahah Have a great night and happy sweeping everyone

I remember a recent Krispy Kreme doughnut sweepstakes where people won many more doughnuts than you could possible eat. Although there is nothing quite like a warm Krispy Kreme doughnut!
