Thanks Marlboro

[anskyboy]

Received a box (??) today from Marlboro. Found it odd because they've never sent me anything like this in the past, only coupons. Inside it said Happy Birthday and had some sunglasses in it. No need for it, but there was a microfiber pouch for the glasses.

Perfect size for my ProVari.

Thought I'd share the irony with you guys.

Well, that's probably the only usefull thing you will ever get from them from now on right?

That's definitely the plan.

Happy Birthday! Last year I got a bottle opener from them, and this year I got the sunglasses. It makes me laugh : )

if there is one thing i can thank Marlboro for it is that they still send me cool things for my birthday and they do have cool contests for prizes. I hope they wont get made that I dont smoke anymore if I ever win a prize. Ive gotten the sunglasses and bottle opener and both were pretty decent for free gifts. I will continue to accept my marlboro gifts as I think thats the least they can do since I cant get back the life I wasted smoking thier miserable product.

I recently got a bottle of barbecue sauce in the mail from RJ Reynolds. It's not half bad.

Happy Birthday!

It's a hollow gesture..... They don't care about anything but profits.

I'd send them a few dozen burnt cig butts stuck together with a few juicy lung-oysters in a bag. Or better yet.... Send them a gift feom these guys...poopsenders - the ULTIMATE gag gift - SWEET revenge at its finest

Whaaaaaaat?! How did you get free stuff from a tobacco company? I want free stuff!!!! Must be a UK thing... :-( x

I hate to break it to you, but most businesses are for-profit. As much as I can hate on the tobacco companies for my old smoking habit, I actually had a lot of good times smoking, even if it was unhealthy and dangerous. I don't hate big tobacco, I hate that people continue to fall for it.

In order to "break it to me" I'd have to be unaware of the fact to begin with... I know businesses are out to make money. But not all businesses sell their souls and the lives of their customers to stay in the black....like the tobacco companies do.

Did you ever call the CEO of RJR to wish him a happy birthday? No? Me either... We must be horrible people then.

My stepson at the time got a Jim Beam Zippo in the mail at random from one of the cigarette companies. He traded it to me for a couple packs of smokes. Now I hear that Zippos are fetching hundreds of dollars on the internet.

 

[xanderxman]

It is coming up on my birthday and I haven't received a damn thing from Marlboro. You would think that all the years I spent giving them my money would at least rate a gift. I feel left out now.

Yep. I should get a Marlboro Red Corvette for the money I've put in their pockets.

 

[Tom950]

Marlboro is still ok with me even though I vape now. Got me a Fuji mountain bike, netbook, mounted bull horns, tons of zippos, all courtesy of them

 

[ScarletAbby]

That's all pretty neat I guess... are you supposed to sign up for their "club" or something? I've smoked Marlboro lights for 15 years and never got a thing....

 

[subversive]

I signed up for their mailing list/coupons a few years ago. That's why they send me stuff.
