Oscar Mayer Gives out Free Hot Dogs!

Oscar Mayer feeling generous

wmobileOscar Mayer is giving away free hot dogs, or so says the rumor floating around on the internet. Obviously, there’s not some Oscar Mayer restaurant that you can go to and pick up your free hot dog. And you know ball parks and grocery stores aren’t going to risk the pandemonium that happens with giveaways. So how do you get your free hot dog?

Business Pundit says that if you plug in your e-mail and a few other pieces of personal information into this Oscar Mayer page you will get a coupon in a month or so.

Why the giveaway?

So, what prompted the great bologna maker to give its products away for free? Oscar Mayer hot dogs recently won a national taste test. I guess they figure if people try their hot dogs for free, the superior taste will win them over for life.

That is generally the philosophy behind giving away free stuff. Oscar Mayer might need a short term loan to cover money it loses from handing out free hot dogs, but it will quickly earn back the money.

Warning from Business Pundit

So, this Business Pundit blog, where I found out about this delicious turn of events, says “You'll supposedly receive your coupon in 4-6 weeks.” Supposedly? What’s with the skepticism, Pundit. Well, that is explained:

“I have signed up for free promotions just like this one several times and never received anything. Months ago, I applied for a free bottle of Suave and free razors, and never received coupons for either. I'm unsettled to know that those companies now have all my mailing information, and apparently lied or flaked out on their giveaways.” ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Oscar Mayer Gives out Free Hot Dogs!
