It was about 10 days before Christmas, and I get an email from a dude with a very Arabic sounding name, asking me for my home address. Whatnow? Um…
He was from Ogilvy, the ginormous marketing company, and wanted to send me a Tassimo coffee maker. You know the ones with the cute ads featuring human bar codes? Yeah, one of those. But with the death threats and all, I nearly hit delete. Instead I went to twitter, the oracle of all knowledge, and checked that this dude was legit. Boy, is he ever! I was getting tweets from dozens of people, including YummyMummy Erica Ehm, about the veracity of my new coffee pusher. So I gave him the deets and waited for my Tassimo.
Sadly, because I live in a den of despair in da hood, UPS was a no-go. I finally had Duri (the gent in question) send it off to my office, where the overwhelming consensus was “Keep it here! We want it!”
The moral of this story? There’s more than one.
1. Bloggers get free shit all the time.
2. Duri isn’t a terrorist and isn’t going to murder me. Thanks for the coffee, dude!
3. Coffee = goooooood!
You can check out the Tassimo coffee system yourself at Tassimo.com or order one directly from Amazon. If you order via Amazon, I get more free stuff, so thanks!
