441.0. "Send away offers" by RAYBOK::DAMIANO (Bad example to kids everywhere) Tue Jun 02 1992 16:21

    Well, we've ratholed the Jimmy Dean topic with all sorts of send-away
    offers, so I decided to start a new note to serve as a focal point for
    mail-aways and "free when you buy the product" deals like Jimmy Dean,
    MooTown Snackers, etc. 
    
    Anyhow, here's another I've come across. Apple Jacks (a cereal) is
    packaging mini-pennants, one to a box, with their cereal. there are a
    total of 28, one for each team (includes expansion franchises). Or,
    instead of forcing your spouse and offspring to eat this stuff, you
    can send 2 UPC's and some money (under $5.00) to the appropriate
    people. That is alot easier than eating (the minimum of) 28 boxes of
    apple flavored sugar.
    
    Maybe we shouild start a UPC trading pool for different stuff?

    Daryl, I think they were Ziplog bags (does Glad make those ?). Not a
    bad price though.

    John's right -- they were Ziploc, and they had to be the sandwich
    bags.  Glad has their own version of zipper-type baggies, and is
    different than Ziploc.

    Also, I beleive that there are 11 cards to the set, not 13. Also, 1
    card per box is inserted with the product, so you can kill to birds
    with one stone; Pack your kids Jimmy Dean sausage in Ziploc sandwich
    bags for lunch! 8^)
    
    A word of caution: The cards inside the cartons are right underneath
    the "pinch and pull" easy open flaps. Luckily, I considered that prior
    to ripping open the 1st box, or I would've destroyed Warren Spahn. 
    
    Be Carefull!!!!!

    Do you guys get "David" brand sunflower seeds? They have an interesting
    offer with their product. For 5 UPC's and $26.00 you can receive a
    genuine Rawlings "Ken Griffey, Jr." adult model fielder's glove. In
    either a left or right hand model, no less. I don't know if any of you
    have priced good leather lately, but this is a decent deal if you need
    a glove; In fact, maybe when we're old and gray and ole' Ken is in the
    HOF, it might be worth a few bucks.
    
    They also offer a child's model of the same glove as well as aluminum
    little league bats for the same 5 UPC's and less money, so if your kid
    needs some stuff, it's worth considering.
    
    It took me all of five minutes to find the necessary wrapper's blowing
    around the local softball complex, so If anybody wants some, I'll
    gladly trade them for Mootown Snacker's UPC's!

    The wife picked up a couple boxes of the Ziploc Sandwich bags and
    I got a Yogi Berra and Willie McCovey in the boxes.  Cards aren't
    too bad and best of all, they had logos on them - no airbrushing.
    I didn't see any MLB logos on them though.

    Anyone else received their Red Sox Raisins hologram of Reggie Jackson
    and Nolan Ryan ? If I'm not mistaken  it's  an Upper Deck Looney Tune
    Hologram.  It has Reggie, Nolan, the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote on
    it.

    I haven't bought any yet, but French's Mustard has an 18 card (36
    player set) out. You get one two-player card with the purchase of
    their product.

    Fleer Send away:
    
    Remember this one? Send in ten wrappers and a dollar, and get three
    Clemens cards. I sent away for these so long ago I forgot about them. I
    sent for three sets on the same day. I finaly got one about 2 weeks ago;
    Another arrived yesterday. Talk about taking your time!
    
    Apple Jacks:
    
    They were (are?) including mini-pennants with the cereal. For something
    like 2 UPC's and $3.00 you got the whole set, including Florida and
    Denver. I got these yesterday, and they're kind of neat.
    
    Still waiting on MooTown, French's, Post, and David Sunflower Seeds.
    
    I love this stuff!

441.17More giveaways...SALEM::DODADenial is not a river in EgyptMon Aug 17 1992 10:0010
Jimmy Dean offer is back as well as a Score/Proctor and Gamble 
All-Star set offer in Sunday coupon flyers.

The Score/P&G set is 3 POP's from 3 separate P&G products and 
1.49 for one set or 2 sets (max) with 6 POP from at least 3 
different products and an addition $1.49.

I have an extra coupon for the P&G offer if anyone needs one.

    The Proctor & Gamble one kind of stood out. Awhile back some of us had
    some idle thoughts relating to "personal hygiene" products associated
    with card giveaways, and our ever vigilant moderator cautioned us about
    locker room conversations. He was right, of course. But the sendaway 
    ad I saw in Sunday's paper had a group of specific products from P&G,
    not just any P&G product. If I remember correctly, the 3 UPC's had to
    come from 3 different products, and the product list consisted of 2
    kinds of "Pampers", 2 kinds of  "Depends", 2 kinds of "Charmin", 1 kind
    of tissue (I forgot the brand name), 1 kind of paper towel (Bounty),
    and, of course, "Always", a feminine hygiene product.
    
    Now, if you need Pampers, Depends, and Always, you're all set. If not,
    perhaps you can buy them as gifts?

    	I saw the sendaway offer from the Sunday paper, and I took
    	it with me to work today to let you guys know about it,
    	but someone beat me to it; however, no-one mentioned
    	all of the products, so I can do that.  The products are:
    
    		Bounty
    		Luvs Phases
    		Attends
    		Always
    		Pampers
    		White Cloud
    		Charmin

    In addition to the regular Jimmy Dean offer (same as last year), they
    also have another. For 3 UPC's from any Jimmy Dean sausage product and
    $1.00, you can receive a "Living Legends Of Baseball" set. The set
    consists of six cards, and includes Brett, Ryan, Yount, O. Smith, Fisk,
    and Ripken, Jr.
    
    Not too bad for a buck.
