    Only K, C and D are rare letters, T is one of the common ones and various destinations can be completed without it.

    Like many others C K D seem impossible to find. And now my local Sainsburys no longer has any fresh stock! So that's that I suppose. Why do I think that finding a golden ticket for Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory is on a par with this obvious sales gimmick?

    Several of the local stores ran out of promotional multi-packs a while back, but I've since been finding them in unbranded multi-packs.

    I see that Walkers are being investigated after complaints about the comp.

    That's people not understanding how little chance they really have of winning (moaning when they have entered 141 codes!). They were sucked in with the headline 20,000 holidays available figure which compares to the 2,000 or less that are likely to be won and the probable odds of winning of 50,000 to 1 or more.


    If they were all given away the retail cost would be a tidy £37,500,000, they would have to shift a lot of extra crisps to make that worthwhile.

    I've got an email from a different comp saying i've won a trip to Barcelona. I'll swap you that for a similar email from your inbox that says you haven't won.

    (I don't and i won't) but it's effectively the same as what you've just asked - swap a winner for a non-winner.

    The 'swap' part of the comp is a pointless gimmick. There are 3 winning letters - one of which is C. NOBODY will swap you a winner for a non-winner.

    I've now put in to date 352 codes, obviously have loads of random letters of the alphabet, but still no C,K or Ds I've now ran out of codes & can't find any either, what a waste of time & money this has turned into & haven't really seen any proof of winners!
