    Thats a strange attitude OlliesDad.

    The company gave me a gift, presumably to make me purchase more.

    If Argos gave me a fart in a box, i'd most likely never shop there :-)

    That is what this was, a fart in a box and they were asking me to LIKE that....I don't.

    I think people would buy a fart in a box, maybe import some farts from China and box them.

    Could be a good earner.

    It's the box that would be the problem. You could get people to fart for pittance, but a fart-tight box would make them a bit costly.
    And why pay for something that you could produce yourself?

    Though saying that, people pay for bottled water when they could get water for free from the tap. I guess it's all in the marketing...

    You could sell boxed farts in categories, for example
    !!!!!! Farts
    Fat Man/Woman Farts
    After Curry farts
    Bearded Lady Farts
    etc etc

  • I'm just trying to work out if you're that angry about this & you've taken to an internet forum to complain how you actually cope when something goes very wrong?

    OP you really need to get a grip, this is such a minor thing and you are the one blowing it all out of proportion.

    It was free, you've suffered no loss. Drink what you can before the 8 days are up and be thankful for the free drink!

    It used to be a popular thing to sell 'Fart in a Jar' on eBay - bidding often hitting a tenner. It was of varying flavours. Maybe you can try and capitalise on your mis-fortune?

    Add:
    It seems there's not much competition over there at the moment. One auction, and frankly the description is poor - doesn't tell you what he ate that morning or the night before, whether it was a wet one or not, and other important things you need to know to make a quality buying decision.
