Special K free sample bag

amiga1

I had a small bag put through my letter box today from kellogs. The deal is that if I put my house number on the bag and leave it out tommorrow I'll receive a free box of Special K and a packet of Biscuit Moments.

Has anyone else received one of these bags and did you receive anything? Seems a strange way of offering a freebie; isn't leaving these bags out advertising to burglars that you're not at home?

I had something like this from Thorntons a while back, received them the next day just fine.
Although it did fit through the letterbox so not an issue re security.

We had this last week. Got a full size box of cereal and a box of biscuits. The biscuits were very sweet. It's very safe where I live and they seem to be doing the whole town bit by bit:D

Thanks for the prompt replies. I don't live in crime central but was curious about the method of distribution having never come across anything quite like it.

Gosh thats an odd thing to do- wouldn't they be concerned about things blowing away in the all-too-British weather and then being fined for creating litter? Hope it works out for you!

Roughly whereabouts are you? We never seem to have anything like this round our way

A good few months / year ago, we had Kelloggs All Bran clusters (or whatever they're called) left in a bag, that came with the local paper. It said leave the bag out and they'd leave a sample. We did, and they left a full size box of cereal! Very nice it was too, although they are a bit too pricey for my blood. We're in Surrey / Hampshire borders.

Haven't seen the latest one though ... but, I'd say go for it!

we have had this twice in fleetwood (lancashire) once with the thorntons questionare and a few years back with some dog food, thought it was excellent

I know of someone who actually distributes these, doesn't live in the same area as me but he was talking about this the other week and said how few people take up the offer.

Ooh, I wish they'd do that sort of thing where I live
