It turns out people will do almost anything for free food.
Shoppers in Germany let it all hang loose — literally — for some
gratis groceries.
According to ABC NEWS more than 200 shoppers showed up to
the grand opening of a supermarket in Süderlügum, Germany, where
the storeowner had offered a rather strange promotion to attract
new customers. The store had advertised that the first 100
customers would get up to 220 euro or $276 worth of free food. The
catch? Everyone had to show up au naturel.
Owner Nils Sterndorff's gimmick, which he thought up to promote
business, worked better than he could have imagined. Sterndorff
said, "I never thought a hundred people would come; I thought maybe
more like ten."
Customers waited outside and were ushered into the supermarket
in groups of twenty. They then stripped down and proceeded to shop
normally for their free groceries. Videos were taken and photos
were snapped, but the nude German customers didn't seem to mind —
they were focused on the food.
Would you get naked for $276 worth of free groceries?
