EVERY BOX WINS!

I was walking down the cereal aisle at Co-op looking for something good which means I was looking to see if there were any cereals with toys in them.  There wasn't any!   A box of Honeycomb caught my eye with a "EVERY BOX WINS" logo on the corner.  If I'm guaranteed to win then I can't lose!  The contest is called "Flip the Flap" which is reminiscent of Tim Horton's "Roll Up the Rim" and I'm sure that was the whole idea.


The thing about contests now is that on the inside of the packaging there is a PIN which you then have to register online to find out what you won if anything.  But first you have to register at a website and give them your name, e-mail, address and then look forward to many a junk mail.  I remember the good old days when you looked under the cap of your Pepsi or on the inside of your chocolate bar or chip wrapper and it would say if you won.  Instant gratification!  It's too much of a hassle to do all this PIN number & website business I wonder if all these prizes are getting claimed or not.

Since Honeycomb guaranteed me that I was going to win I registered all my info on their website and put in my PIN to see what I won.  Yes, I won!  Unfortunately, it was a free Puretracks download, just one download of one song.  Can't I at least have one album?  I looked around Puretracks for about one minute before I closed the tab which means my free download is up for grabs.  Grab it fast before anyone else.  Does anyone else even read this

Puretracks® PIN code: 9882903931
Puretracks® serial number: 3637501

Remember when you could look at the pepsi cap and win a bag of chips before even leaving Barneys?

RIP Barney..
