Has anyone else noticed the ridiculous gimmicks companies are coming up recently? Apparently, it's catching on with businesses everywhere across the country. Here are a few I've noticed either on television or on the radio:
$2.99 Gas Guarantee -- Chrysler's new incentive for American to start buying new cars, theirs in particular.
Free Gas Card with Golf Driver purchase -- Callaway Golf is giving away gas cards when you buy certain drivers.
Gas Receipt Discount on Mattresses -- Mattress Discounters is offering customers discounts on mattresses totalling the amount of their gas receipt.
Give blood for a chance to win gas card -- Northern Ohio American Red cross will give away five $500 gas cards to people who entered the drawing by having their blood drawn!
AND MY FAVORITE (heard originally on NPR):
Economic "Stimulus" Package at the Bunny Ranch -- Legal brothel in Nevada offering first 100 customers to show up with their stimulus rebate checks from the government twice the "services".
Seriously. Has it come to this?
"Just lost your house to the bank? Come on down to XYZ Bar with your foreclosure papers and we'll give you a free beer!"
