4 Free cans of original red bull

hi i dont really know where to post this but

the other day we recieved what looked like a peice of junk mail from red bull but inside it had a cardboard cut out which when assembled made it into a little basket with something like ' we had kidnapped the milk man and replaced him with red bull place this box outside tonight and tommorrow morning there will be 4 cans in place'

we all thought it was a media stunt or some random junk mail but low and behold this morning when i checked [ pre 9am! so i think the red bull man came in the night lol!:confused:] there was 4 cans in the little basket and 4 in every one in our street!

so the purpose of this is to watch out for this type of mailing in a street near you cos it is real :D and saves a good few quid.

This happened in wavertree,Liverpool.

    i cant see how this would work, the perosn delivering it would have to check every house to see if they had one outside?

    This is a publicity stunt and if you search through this site will see lots of different things that have appeared at your door if you put out a piece of marketing bump.. comes to mind jacket potatoes

    I'm guessing it actually is delivered by the milkman ;)
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    A year or so again i had a questionairre through the door for lindt chocolates, along with the other houses on the street. It said fill it in and leave it on the doorstep in the morning and well leave a box of lindt chocolates. Myself and some others did this, and we saw the people pick up the questionairres...but didnt leave any chocs.

    I asked the woman where the chocs were and she said they had ran out....didnt believe her lol, im sure she had kept them all for herself :rotfl:

    Was gutted, it only took me 2 mins to fill it in

    I remember this one, and we actually did get the chocs! Think your lady was pulling a fast one, she'd probably eaten them :rotfl:

    I'd love 4 cans of free red bull - will keep an eye out for that, thanks OP!

    It is probably the milkman as I still hear a milkman delivering about 4am down our road.

    We had the red bull fairy at our uni. One of the students was paid to promote red bull so he started leaving cans in the halls, there were some stuck under the chairs in lecture rooms, posters around uni and also things painted on the floor (in paint that would wash away)

    It was to promote some red bull music thing
