My Mouth Dropped on this One!

OK, I saw a FEDEX Envelope on my porch and starting running to it super excited because it usually means something big is about to come. Well I opened it as fast as I could and inside was a small black thing in plastic wrap the shape of a shirt. It was the size of a glove. When I opened it, out unraveled a black XL Fruit of the Loom Tee Shirt with a picture of a Tent I think and a Campfire with a red circle around the picture and a red line through the circle. The shirt is so wrinkled from being in a small shape, it looks like an accordion. OH Yea. under the picture it says intel. I just stood there for a minute with my mouth open and could not think of anything to say to my son who was with me when I opened it. He starting laughing and laughing at me and said, "Don't worry Mom, the big one will come soon. Then he starting laughing again.
 
Don't let the kids get you down, my son laughed at me allot of times about winning little funny stuff, then I won a Triton ski/fishing boat and guess mom is the one laughing now. Keep the faith and you will get there someday. good luck and congrats.
 
:sunny: The wrinkled shirt may not have been a hit, but at least your son had a good laugh! Congratulations!
 
Good story! Congrats on winning! :cheers:

I found a picture of your shirt:

On that same blog (which gave the shirt away in August), (the link is super-long) it says that the Intel shirt is from PAX 2009.

Here's an expired sweep that could possibly be the one:

:wave: Funny story! Nice to see we all kind of act the same. My heart always skips a beat at the site of the Fed Ex / UPS trucks driving down my street. When I'm at work and my husband says I have a package, I always imagine great things, and yes, I have gotten the t-shirt disappointment too! Oh well, you can't win if you don't play. Half the fun is the craziness of it all! Good luck - your big win will come and then you will be the one laughing!! :laughing:
 
I got one too!

Intel is having that big trip giveaway right now. Plus there was a Intel processor contest going on a couple of weeks ago.
