Once upon a time, I was a...Good point...all of fit. Once upon a time, I was a Big Sister and we all worked so hard and asked for so much from companies that in the end if we would have just asked everyone to donate some cash, it would have probably been a bigger fundraiser. I must admit I feel the same way about selling wrapping paper and popcorn..I buy it and don't need any of it (maybe now I will blog about my wrapping paper issues)...I would rather someone just asked me for $20. On that note, I do, however, from a marketing/promotion standpoint "get it." And I do realize that for many people it seems more logical for them to buy a product that just donate money. Sorry I am just going on and on and on... Why does it all have to be so complicated?!Holly Lefevrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682463489134875301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-69959107833295941232009-10-01T18:44:01.963-07:002009-10-01T18:44:01.963-07:00Leaving you something at Stir-Fry.

I agree that for them to simply make a donation for each container purchased makes MUCH more sense.

It's a pain in the butt. <br /><br />I think the address labels are a waste, too. I wonder how much it costs for them to be printed and mailed.Traciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612857982151448455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-25793219418333905542009-10-01T16:00:42.760-07:002009-10-01T16:00:42.760-07:00I'm with you on the charity thing; I especiall...I'm with you on the charity thing; I especially don't like the address labels and things like that that they send out hoping for a donation. Seems like a waste of money. The only donation solicitors I ever give money to are the VFW guys and Salvation Army bell ringers.Tattoos and Teething Ringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270580320534546202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-59387004545345150032009-10-01T15:36:20.254-07:002009-10-01T15:36:20.254-07:00Wow...this is one of the reasons blogging is so co...Wow...this is one of the reasons blogging is so cool.

You raised some really good points and exposed the practice for what it really is: a PR stunt to make consumers buy a product because the company seems "charitable." I wonder how many of those UPCs acutally get redeemed. Thanks for making me, and others think about different types of waste and inefficiency. <br />Jenn @ Rookno17.blogspot.comJenn Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484708374808620986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645639453384453835.post-76904930179478365562009-10-01T15:27:05.813-07:002009-10-01T15:27:05.813-07:00I started out reading your post thinking hmmm that...I started out reading your post thinking hmmm that might be a fun job, Checking out all the mall wondering what everyone's sending to who. Then kept reading, got to the licking part and started to get a little grossed out, got to the lab part, ewwwww and the ear, double ewwwwww. lol, i agree with the mail in donation thing, there has to be a better way to go about that for sure, I wonder whom we would have to complain to?Lissaloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616376497958607122noreply@blogger.com
