FarmVille Gets Into Food Distribution
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
Holy crap, I hope that flavour gets a UK release sometime soon. The only flavours my local stores ever stock are Cookie Dough (tasty but boring after a while) and Phish Food (which I don't eat because I hate marshmallow). Oh, and the great-tasting Caramel Cups, but only very rarely.RossyB said:Well, I'm depressed. Time to binge, the American way!
Also, am I the only one to notice the hilarity of the carton saying both 'natural' and 'artificial' flavours? When there's nothing inside, even?
The promise on the box is that that volume is filled by the product advertised on it.Thee Prisoner said:Milliliters is a measure of volume. It shows how much the container can HOLD. So it's probably legal in that sense.Kenjitsuka said:The box promises a pint (473 ml), as you can see.
I'm pretty sure that is false advertising, since anyone can weigh it and prove easily that the air inside of it does not quite weigh anything near that...

So I was wrong about the weight, but you can see that it's still not very legal to sell a pint of icecream-container without contents?
Ok guys... The icecream isn't empty. It's just a cross-promotional deal that promotes farmville. The icecream is at a cheaper price than the national brands so it's win-win. I agree that farmville is a little ridiculous, but I'd still buy the icecream. It's good and cheaper than the competitors brands!
At least the crazy people won't have that money to spend on real world crazy things, I guess.
Trying to look on the bright side is really tough to do in this day and age.

It's hard to tell from the picture on what the whole container advertises. On the backside it could tell you it is a code for the game. So, it does have "contents". I'm not a judge or lawyer so I do not know what constitutes illegal advertising. It's a creative way to advertise.Kenjitsuka said:The promise on the box is that that volume is filled by the product advertised on it.Thee Prisoner said:Milliliters is a measure of volume.

Yep. Que el Fucko is right.
But... is there really nothing in it? Really?
And if hte code doesn't work...
Why are they selling people painted cardboard? The customer gains absolutely nothing?
Fuck them!
