+206 You hate it when on a cereal box it says you can win a trip to the Bahamas (or something like that) and then underneath it says purchase not necessary, when really you need to buy the box to enter, amirite?

Apparently you can ask them to mail you a pin or something so that you can enter without having to buy anything.

Or you have to buy a certain amount of boxes of Cereal to get a certain amount of points to get a a code to go onto a website That tells you To buy more cereal boxes to enter into the competition

I'd say just steal the box top at the store. I wonder how long it would take a store like Wal-Mart to realize that all their cereal boxes are left wide open.

I think you can mail the company or something and ask for a contest entry form. Basically it's a ton of extra work but you technically can enter without buying the cereal.

It means that you don't have to be the one who bought the box to enter. You could steal the box and still enter.

No you don't. You can just look at it at the store.

When they say no purchase necessary, that means that you can mail in for a chance to win by with the address on the box (assuming that you can look at the box in the store without buying it and you don't count postage).
