When a 'Lifetime Supply' of Donuts Ends Prematurely
A social media user shared a frustrating experience regarding a contest prize: a 'lifetime supply' of donuts from a local bakery, capped at one dozen per day. The arrangement functioned for two years until the original owner passed away and the business was taken over by his son, who discontinued the offer. Another user provided a cynical, technically accurate observation, noting that the prize remained a 'lifetime supply'—it simply referred to the lifetime of the original owner rather than the winner. This exchange highlights the ambiguity often found in promotional terms and conditions.
As a donut lover i would weigh about 300 pounds and go through a vile of insulin a day.
12 donuts a day for 2 years. i actually was able to stomach that, that would have been a lifetime for me.
A dozen donuts a day is craaaazy
This applies to electronics as well like how some RAM had a lifetime warranty but the lifetime was the lifetime of the RAM while it was still being manufactured.
Donuts, lifetime supply, sounds very American. He should do that other favourite american pasttime and sue the donut shop owner.
If this is real, the son might still be required to keep on with the donut supply. The win and the corresponding lifetime supply under the given conditions might count as legal contract with the business, which is not bound to the current owner or CEO.
I wouldn't be so harsh against a local family business, but they shouldn't be so dumb. The stunt with the life supply should've worked so well that it would pay itself against the free publicity. I say this business needs to go and learn the lesson and start over again. I'm with
I could do a dozen donuts a day, for about 3 days, then I'd probably almost puke whenever I barely see a donut for a few months..
Guy probably did you a favour, holmes... 12 donuts a day, everyday, would result in one thing only: You ending worse than Cletus' cousin Dia-Betty!
Everybody going "A dozen doughnuts is too much! Guys, nobody said he *had to* eat all 12 every day and nobody said he even had to eat them himself.
