So I left Netflix for a while. As a “welcome back” gift, they sent me a gift card for $20.00 for popcorn from Dale and Thomas. As you might suspect, Dale and Thomas doesn’t have any items less than $28.00. Did you know you could spend $500.00 on a tin of popcorn? Granted it comes in a nifty hand-painted tin, but yow! Five hundred bucks! For pre-popped (read: stale or at least stale-ish and at a minimum not popped on the day you’ll eat it) popcorn!?! If that doesn’t call for a WTF!?!? I don’t know what does.

So, the deal is this: you put the $28.00 sampler in your cart, where $7.95 minimum (stays in the big brown truck getting even staler) shipping is added, and your total is $35.95. Thus you really need two of these gift cards to get any free popcorn. Interestingly enough, Dale and Thomas doesn’t even sell $20.00 gift cards to us regular folk. They start at $30.00.

Enough bitching Dave. Here’s the punchline: if you have one of these cards, and have come to a similar conclusion, and as a result won’t be using your card, please email me so I can send you my address so you can send it to me. Heck, send me your mailing address and I’ll send you mine. That way somebody ends up with some fucking free popcorn.
