Limited tickets.
Lifetime supply of product for the winner.
Unknown prize promised to be beyond your wildest dreams.

Wouldn't this be a profit generating machine in 2018?

Because the guy they hire to insert the tickets would just give them to his friends and family then get caught.

How is this different than the promos that tons of companies have all the time, except in reality magic isn't real?

Michael tried it at Dunder Miflin and it was a disaster.

It’d cost them a fortune in fudge.

Unless that supply is pussy, I don't think there's a lifetime supply of any product I want that much

I’ll put Golden Tickets in random seatback pockets on airplanes.

Winners get a tour of my offshore development and call center in Pune, India.

The dream prize is what you get from that “Congratulations Amazon customer!” popup.

Companies stopped doing that after Willy Wonka got the piss sued out of him by the families of Veruca, Augustus, Violet and the TV kid.

I don't know, but when I was young I use to think there was a chance that one day I would find a golden ticket.

Speak for yourself. I’ll take a lifetime supply of Nutella, please. Or baked white cheddar Cheetos. Either one and I’ll die happy.

Keystone had the Keystalope can

You didnt win shite except the badass keystalope can though. Went through many 30 packs of keystone in college trying to find one.

My daughter thought the same thing. So like the great dad I am, I bought a ticket and Wonka bar wrapper online. I went to Cracker Barrel and got the biggest Hershey bar they had. Wrapped the bar and ticket in aluminum foil and then the Wonka candy bar wrapper.

She was excited. Hung it on the fridge for a week and couldnt wait to go to Wonkaland in October. I finally broke it her that it wasnt real. She was a little upset but she quickly got over it.
