|
|
Nestle have launched a Willy Wonka style promotion in the UK with six lucky people winning £10,000 each.
The rather creepily named 'We Will Find You' promotion involves KitKat 4 Finger, KitKat Chunky, Aero Peppermint Medium, and Yorkie Milk chocolate bars. Six have been fitted with a GPS tracker which will activate when unwrapped. A team will then locate you and hand over £10,000!
A secondary promotion has 3,000 posters with NFC and a QR code. Smartphone users will be directed to a mobile landing page where you can enter a competition with 2,000 x £10 prizes. The mobile site also informs people how many of the six GPS-fitted bars are still to be found.

Make sure you're not doing anything you shouldn't next time you open a Yorkie  _________________ SGS3 : Nexus 7 : Go 550 Live (expired) : TomTom Android : CamerAlert : CoPilot Android (retired) |

I heard a rumour that they also have cameras and microphones in the trackers so the police can use it as evidence while chomping on a KitKat Chunky whilst driving
Sounds like a fun competition - might go grab me an Aero :D

But do you still get an edible bar of chocolate? If not, it could be a bit disappointing when you're miles from anywhere and fancy a chocolate treat!  _________________ Anita

Let's hope that a lorry driver is'nt going to open one whilst driving down a country lane in case he gets jammed, because he's bound to blame the chocolate bar for his mishap. Well that gets us off the hook for once?  |

But think how many chocolate bars you could buy with the £10k. The cash would outweigh any hunger i might have  _________________ Darren Griffin - Editor

That's because you're a man, Darren.

| Mars bars aren't included in this promotion. But that story wasn't true anyway. |
