    Default Think Outside the Box... and the Bun

    http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/25/news...ex.htm?cnn=yes

    Hey, even if you're not a fan of baseball, this promotion could be some incentive to watch the game, right? Eh?

    Anyway, if you were in charge of a promotion like this, where what you gave away had to cost a maximum of two dollars (for realism's sake), what would you give to everyone in America/Britain/wherever you live? Tacos? Packs of gum? Candy bars? Home Run Pies?

    Take your pick, feel free to be creative.

    For every American that eats well, I would send their share to homeless shelters nationwide. Or I'd use the funds that took up to fix/create homeless shelters in cities with large homeless populations.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Isn't that like saying, "kill this person for me and I'll feed your family for a year", except in this case the players are trying to hit a target, and everyone in the US is already fat? For shame, Taco Bell, for shame.

    I've always wanted to not pay for a taco.

    Anyway, as for the question, I would give everyone a pamphlet on how not to be a piece of crap.

    A lot of people deserve a good telling off, but that's not a promotion as much as it is a silly threat. I would give everybody in America a quarter, which is approx. the production cost of a taco.

    I don't think you can get a good one of either of those for less than 2 dollars.

    This idea isn't so new. Remember Big Mac land about 6-7 years ago? Hit a homer in the right spot and McDonalds gives America a big mac. Maybr in 50 years or so it will be, hit a ball outta the moons orbit and win some dehydrated milkshakes. Woo-Hoo!!
