Juicy
Juice. I drink more of this stuff than anything. The Berry flavored
kind is easily one of the tastiest drinks on the market and it's even good
for you. Being a guy who has a reputation for eating weird blue food
products and testing out every spin-off of the EZ Bake Oven, it's nice
to have something healthy in my life. Well anyway, I go through
like 15-20 bottles of this stuff a month, and late last year I noticed
they were having a special "Arthur Storybook Spectacular" promotion
going on.
Each
bottle of juice contained a special promotion code that you would
collect and then enter in on their "special" web site. After you
collected 12 codes, you would be qualified to have your very own
personalized Arthur storybook! 12 codes? That's all? Hah, I collected
enough within a week! Of course, they STILL charge you for shipping
and handling of the book even though your body weight is now 99%
juice. Regardless, I was willing to pay the 2 bucks for a chance at
having an amusing personalized Arthur book.
So I get
to the web site and start entering in the codes. Now mind you, I
actually had to drink more than 12 bottles because the geniuses behind
this promotion would actually sometimes put the label glue ON the
codes, so when you peeled off the label to find your code, it would
get torn apart and become completely illegible. Again, since I drink a
ton of this stuff, I had more than enough codes to work with.
Once I
was done entering in the codes, I had to start entering in random
information that would apparently show up in the book. Now rather than
just have only my real information in there, I decided to throw in a
few extra names.
I
originally entered "Bitchcakes McDoogle" as my child's name, but
I got a letter in the mail about 4 weeks later basically stating that
I was in violation of their principles. Hey, what if that really was
the name of somebody's kid, huh!? I was hoping they didn't even
monitor was text was entered into the form fields, but this wasn't the
case...

Oh well.
At least they sent me some coupons for free Juicy Juice bottles and
refunded the shipping and handling. Still, I
wanted my damned book. So I went back to the site to re-enter my
info and decided to change the child's name to "Serpento McCobra"
instead...
Sure
enough, this time the book was accepted. About 6 weeks later, much to
my amusement, the personalized Arthur book had arrived at my door. And
now you too can enjoy my personalized book and try to spot the text of
mine that was added in!
