Seems like a nothing story. But it really is a $hitty swindle. I had no idea Peanut Butter cups were Democrats.
Reese’s may be in violation of state and federal laws with its new sweepstakes offer currently advertised on packs of peanut butter cups, the AP reports. The promotion on two-cup packages reads “You could win $25,000” and, in smaller print, “See details inside.” But only after consumers have bought and opened a package can they see the small print: no purchase is necessary to enter the sweepstakes. The Reese’s contest was first reported Monday by Edgar Dworsky, a consumer advocate and former assistant attorney general in Massachusetts, who runs the Consumer World website. “You never have to pay to play. All these packages should be recalled,” he said.
Oligarchs gotta…WTF do they call that any way?
I see a class action law suit where all sales of reece’s PBCs since the contest started are refunded to an escrow fund for collection by consumers.
Someone has way too much time on their hands.
Stopped buying candy when the price hit $1 for what I paid a nickel for as a kid. Now most of them are approaching $2. If I have a hankering for sweets I’ll bake a cake or cookies. The problem with being single is I always end up with more than I want to eat.
Millennials don’t know Federal law (or even basic city, county and state statutes, for that matter). Nor do they care about it.
Oh my goodness! They tore the tag off the mattress! Once again go forth, cloaked in the armor of despair.
What worries me is that there are people who would buy this and not realize they were fooled. They should of put Biden’s face on the wrapper.
Con test has been over 6 months, was available
On the her-she web site’ could pick a torn up wrapper from trash if you did not want to buy the product
I guess they could have bought a 10 second spot during super bull Sunday and read off the details in triple speed.
I agree with Jason
Those things are garbage anymore, the grandkids & I make our own now. We use muffin tins & make magnum size. We make a hell of a mess but we have fun.
I had to buy a Wonka Scrumdiddlyumptious
Hey! Former AG of Mass….why don’t you put your energy into election integrity efforts and not this trivial bullshit. Let’s actually save our country!
Stolen elections aren’t about consumer protection, Did anyone sue Publisher’s Clearing House?
Hasn’t Hershey Chocolate Corporation (OWNER of Reeses) donated enough money to the DNC and democrat candidates?
For a $66 Billion dollar industry leader they don’t contribute near enough.
A little pressure will convince them to play Biden’s Pay to Play game (MUCH better odds to be a winner than the Reeses promotion).
Tempest in a teapot.
Those things are garbage candy.
Have to disagree Hambone.
Reeses & Snickers are my favorite mass produced candy on the market.
Both provide a ton of energy and are great meal substitutes when you are too busy to eat.
Just like Coke is the only soft drink I like, I will have to ignore any politics involved…
Bob needs to elaborate!
Recipe?
I bake from scratch but do limited confections. Messing around with peanut butter, sugar and chocolate sounds like something I should do!
Liberals need their own version of the Wailing Wall. They can put a gay pride flag over their head and shoulders, beat their head against the wall and leave notes or post its in the cracks a crevices about all the things they are offended by. Needs to be in a good location too, like the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
