Meia Gisborn SG It is not unusual to occasionally receive free samples of merchandise in the mail, but I think this really takes the cake: It arrived with yesterday's mail delivery, completely unsolicited. Not that I'm complaining, though--free is always good in my books, and my current razor is just about due for a replacement anyway. Thank you, Gillette!
ShrodingersCat SG I am SOOOOO addicted to mail freebies. I love them. I love surfing and applying and answering stupid surveys for them. I love it when I open my mailbox in school (when I was in US) and getting all these surprises from various companies, even if it turns out to be weird coloured stockings sample or male deodorant. It's like getting presents and I'm so deprived of snail mail that anything with Ms XXXX XXXXX on it just excitesssss me so much. I feel a lot for mail freebies. Really. I miss them.
Meia Gisborn SG Heh! Ditto here. Must be a consequence of the kiasu gene that's in all S'poreans. The distribution of free samples via mail is a popular product promotion method here. Seldom does a week pass without a free sample of some laundry detergent, mouthwash, toothpaste or skin lotion arriving in the mail.
the Bear SG i don't get any but what the heck? i've got enough crap in the house bought by the folks anyway..
ShrodingersCat SG I disagree with what you said about Singaporeans. I think its the 'yau gwee' gene.. not the kiasu gene loh.
Meia Gisborn SG Ha ha! I stand corrected. You're right, it is indeed the 'yau gwee' gene! Quickly goes off to do a Google search on the term 'yau gwee'.
Ito_^ SG some of those mail freebies actually gets shipped internationally. i like to find em out when i was in sec school den a month later i receive free crap.
udontknowme SG i also got!!!!! exactly the same one!!!! send to me for WHAT?????? i dont use that one leh!
The man who was death SG there’s one taiwan internet co. which u can go online and ask them for free samples of a lot of stuffs…...
