Competitions, just not the same...

[UNICRONICUS]

I really hate it that all competitions you see nowadays on drinks cans, chocolate bars etc.. are all, "Text this number to see if you're a winner", pi55 off! Why can't you have win or lose under ring pulls? Or gold tickets in penguin bars? (Remember those, find a gold ticket and win a Sega Megadrive, sweet, my mate won one this way ) I used to love the anticipation of opening up a treat and seeing if I've won or not, it's just not the same anymore

Plus, can we have a 'place to whinge' board again for posts like this?

Strange, I was thinking the same thing the other day

I remember my mate won a Coca-Cola gold spinner one lunch time at school, from his Coke can ring pull. He instantly gained legendary status

I remember ring pulls, also crisps used to have a small satchel with money, I bet some addictive gambler blamed all his habits stemed from these competitions and so sued companies fo milliions hence why they are no more.
