A New Nokia Phone? Or Four Potatoes?
from the your-choice dept
This one is random. A guy who bought a new Nokia phone from a department store, found that when he opened the box, there were four potatoes there instead of the phone. I imagine this was a prank rather than a secret contest by the Potato Growers: "buy a Nokia and, if you're lucky, maybe you'll get free potatoes!". Probably not. The store gave him another phone and a gift certificate for £10.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
