Maybe but you need to mail it and that costs money if I am not mistaken. Also at least if you buy the chocolate you get to eat it whereas otherwise you are just spending your time. It's all about what's more valuable to you time or money

[@jjfrenzy789]

I actually remember this story on Reddit that goes like this. There was this guy on a university campas that made a panini cart and was selling paninis for around $3, the faculty said that he had to take down his business because you weren’t allowed to sell food on campas, the very next day he was out with his cart now saying he sold paper towels, one square for $3 and with every purchase you get a free panini.

[@thecomposerchanginggames5250]

@@thecomposerchanginggames5250 yeah, because youre not selling the food anymore. Food accepted outside of the towel transaction after that point is considered a social exchange, not a retail one.

This was perfectly timed. I’ve been wondering how Mr. Beast was legally creating lotteries. Honestly, that loophole should be patched though, with it, any lottery could easily be legal.

[@Deenaziamazinjg14]

Lottery is a tax for dumb people!

[@zannynyx4297]

This loophole is prolly the only reason lootboxes are legal ...

[@afjer]

Probably won't happen with actual lotteries since the pot is funded (at least in part) by entrance costs. An alt method would mean a small pot which would mean few participants and little money to pay the people running it.

[@violasses]

yeah for example i can just say, "hey, you can enter without paying by telling your friend to buy it and give it to you!"

[@FloweredAngelFilms]

I always figured that food-related lotteries were based on the idea that you're paying to get the guaranteed item (food) and entering to have the chance to win something extra (another portion of the food or a prized item). I honestly never thought about the "no purchase necessary" part... now the legal loophole seems so obvious.

Yeah, I would have expected this too. It's the classic defense of lootboxes, after all. You're buying the guaranteed item (the chocolate) with the RNG item (entry) as a free bonus.

Yeah, when this contest was live a can of coke was closer to $0.25, nowhere near $1 much less $2.50

Anyone who pays $2.50 for a can of Coke deserves to be ripped off. Those are like 50 cents to a dollar. $2.50 buys you a large bottle.

[@EricaGamet]

Back in the 80s and early 90s my dad used to have the hobby of entering contests using the alternate methods of entry. He called it his therapy. He spent probably 10 hours a week filling in index cards, addressing envelopes, and reading the newsletter that listed all current contests. Often, you had to be between the ages of 12-18 for a kids prize, so he would put our name down. We ended up with a lot of stuff, even a couple of free trips. Bikes, toys, electronics, office supplies, clothes, kitchen appliances... it was pretty cool, actually. He kept all his supplies in one of the space-agey looking briefcases (pretty rare in the mid-80s)... and he'd sit down in the evening in his study and pop open his briefcase and start hand-writing name, address, and phone number on a 3x5 index card... over and over and over.

I volunteer at a charity shop in England and we are having an Easter raffle.

10:26 Matpat: True, "a lot of people" entered "the" giveaway by paying money to place a to-go-order but technically speaking, "you" could win prizes in the contest without paying Red Lobster a dime by "" downloading the app and registering an account. "This means that" Red Lobster "can" advertise the sweepstakes as no purchase necessary, thereby meaning that they "didn't" meet the legal definition of gambling Literally the next paragraph is a repeat of the first paragraph except (the words in quotation marks) "a lot of people" is replaced with "the vast majority", "the" replaced with "that", "you" with "they", "didn't" with "don't", "This means that" with "This allows", "can" to "to", and added "simply" before download I'm wondering if that was intentional (if it is, what's the point of saying almost the exact same words twice) or if it's a typo/mistake in the script

Here’s a a food theory. Is it possible to fill up an entire football stadium with milk and cereal, and how much would it take? Because it’s a “super bowl”.

[@kevinfay7898]

[@the_wolfe3445]

That’s hurrinle

[@mischataylorsverison]

that is such a good idea Isaiah Deleon!!

[@Canadian_Teemo]

Not really a "good" theory, as it is just finding the blue print / dimensions of the stadium. Then find the volume of the type of cereal you want. It depends on what ratio you use for your milk and cereal. Assuming you want pure cereal and cereal is thrown in at random, then the cereal would fill about 50% of the volume of the stadium, if you want to fill it all the way due to the air in stacking. For milk it is 100% of the volume of the stadium, (again if you want to fill it). The ratio is a bit more tricky, but still just the volume of cereal, the stadium and the fill rate you want of milk / cereal. So a video would probably be about 5 minuts at max, and then it would just be math and math. So I dont know how many would watch that.

Let's do some maths, let's say you get payed 20 dollars an hour, so in 3 hours you'll make 60 dollars and be able to buy 20 chocolate bars, the info they ask for is minimal so it will only rake 1 minute or 2 but let's take the worst case at 1 leter ever 5 minutes, that'd be 12 letters per hour and in 3 hours that'll be 36 letters, the 36 letter entries is better than 20 for thesame time

[@rosebrigade]

Thing about the AMOE, is that technically not everyone has to purchase the bars or the tickets even. Some people are willing to just give those away. But the thing that I think also helps companies get away with sweepstakes like this is that you're not buying the sweepstakes, you're buying the product as you normally would, and choose to enter the sweepstakes at your own will. I mean take McDonald's Monopoly thing for example. I buy my normal McNuggies meal with some fries and a drink, and those fries have the little peel-off piece on it that enters the sweepstakes. I didn't purchase the meal for the sweepstakes, I purchased it for satiating my hunger. The sweepstakes was just a wee bonus for something I do on a regular basis anyway. I think that's the drive for most of these food based sweepstakes. People buy the product anyway, regardless of the sweepstakes' existence, and just acknowledging that is enough to accept that you aren't buying the sweepstakes entry, you're buying the product. Another part of that "consideration" part of gambling law is what you get for paying. As long as you get something, it's not gambling. At that point it's not much different than a gacha or a raffle. You may not have gotten the grand prize, but you still got those fries you ordered, and were gonna order anyway. It's kinda why video games can get away with lootbox systems or gacha-based summoning. It's not illegal because you always get something out of it.

Food/Film theory idea: Can you make the Krabby Patty just by using ingredients under the sea?, if so what are the ingredients, does it taste good and most importantly is it safe to eat. I’m leaving this one to you Matpat.

[@Musical_Transcendence]

Kelp, cheese, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, ketchup, mayo, mustard, sesame seed bun, secret sauce

[@SealProgrammer]

@@Musical_Transcendence you forgot artificial crab ("Krab") hence the name, Krabby Patty, and Mr. Krabs saying, "So this is what I taste like!" at one point when he eats a Krabby Patty

The essay method of entry might be related to following Canadian law for sweepstakes as well, where they require a skill-testing question, but I need to confirm that sweepstake is both open to US and Canada and whether essays pass as skill-testing for Canadian law.

[@peterhallman9614]

Can a casino do something similar to this though? "No purchase necessary, just: Do 10 standing backflips in a row, write a 10.000 word essay in 5 different languages, finish a marathon in under 2,5 hours and cook a perfect meal for Gordon Ramsay and you get a free 2$ spin on the roulette wheel!"

I’m so glad I watched this, I’ve been so confused about when purchasing food and there’s a contest for a prize/give-away and it would say “No purchase necessary”. Because I didn’t understand how no purchase necessary was possible, since I was buying the product, I didn’t know how else I would able to participate otherwise, even when reading up on it. Somehow I missed the AMOE section, or maybe it was placed elsewhere, they sure do add a lot of other legal jargon in the way. Glad this broke it down simply enough.

[@dieptrieu6564]

They obviously try their best to hide AMOE. Cause otherwise people wouldn't buy their product, lol

I've heard that tasting or smelling a particular food will help bring back information that we've learned in the past (ex: studying for a test.) Could taking a mint the day of studying and taking the same brand during exams actually help with memory retrieval?

[@LeoMorikoTheKnight]

It makes sense that if you take a mint while studying, and pop the exact same in before an exam, that particular stigma will bring those memories to the front, particularly if it's something you wouldn't normally eat. It's one of those borderline 'association' things. It's also very possible to save that stimuli solely for study and memory recall, but it can't guarantee is 100% consistency.

Sounds a like it would be right up his alley and, honestly, would be great for people like myself with several disorders that comes with the side effect of poor memory.
