Ultimate Coupon Asshattery

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Since I've worked in the call center I've gotten a handful of callers who say they found an ad on some third party site that promises some wonderful discount on our products, but when they click through the ad it just takes them to <store>'s home page. I ask if there is any kind of promo code on the ad and they say no or give me one that won't work...I have to tell them that we can't be responsible for what some third party site puts on their page claiming to speak for us...most are understanding but a few seem really annoyed. Surprise, not everything you read on the Internet is true

She may resell at a markup. She can't possibly use that much sugar before it goes bad. It does not last forever.

Depends. If it is 100% real sugar, it'll keep just about forever if stored correctly (ie. never let it get damp!). It's the newer synthetic and/or replacement stuff that goes bad even sealed well. I remember as a kid (when they still make soda with real sugar) drinking ten year old Cokes that a friend's dad had forgotten about in a camper they hadn't used in that long. Not a bit flat, and tasted like we had just got them from the corner store.
