Free Samples in the Mail
-
It is not unusual to occasionally receive free samples of merchandise in the mail, but I think this really takes the cake:
It arrived with yesterday's mail delivery, completely unsolicited. Not that I'm complaining, though--free is always good in my books, and my current razor is just about due for a replacement anyway.
Thank you, Gillette!

why so good one
our samples are like maybe one pack of some facial wash -
I am SOOOOO addicted to mail freebies. I love them.
I love surfing and applying and answering stupid surveys for them. I love it when I open my mailbox in school (when I was in US) and getting all these surprises from various companies, even if it turns out to be weird coloured stockings sample or male deodorant. It's like getting presents and I'm so deprived of snail mail that anything with Ms XXXX XXXXX on it just excitesssss me so much.
I feel a lot for mail freebies. Really. I miss them. -
Heh! Ditto here. Must be a consequence of the kiasu gene that's in all S'poreans.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:I am SOOOOO addicted to mail freebies. I love them.

The distribution of free samples via mail is a popular product promotion method here. Seldom does a week pass without a free sample of some laundry detergent, mouthwash, toothpaste or skin lotion arriving in the mail. -
i don't get any
but what the heck?
i've got enough crap in the house bought by the folks anyway.. -
I disagree with what you said about Singaporeans.
I think its the 'yau gwee' gene.. not the kiasu gene loh. -

Ha ha! I stand corrected. You're right, it is indeed the 'yau gwee' gene!Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:I disagree with what you said about Singaporeans.

Quickly goes off to do a Google search on the term 'yau gwee'. -

few weeks ago i tore out all the reader digest reply post cards thingie that will allow u to receive some free samples once you sent these cards
kinda sad that they are expired for long time, but i still did it for fun
guess singapore companies arent as sporting as these companies Tom Locke sent to, i got zero reply
i think i will do exactly what Tom Locke did
-
I'm so inspired.........
the only thing i ever got in Singapore was 3 free 'siao hu dui' Yes! card from eons ago... Mmmm~ -
i still got one stack of reply cards, but all specifically to reader's digest instead of different companies
hmm, i go try out my new experiment after exams -
