Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Man that was a confusing mess, so I guess I got both coupons after giving up and going to the origional app on facebook, not the one they said to go to earlier in the day. So which link did you get through on?
I got through using the original link from days ago. The same one I used when I posted the heads-up for the giveaway here on SD.

The Dairy Queen deal still isn't working. They're claiming it's the fan's fault for mobbing the site. People are not pleased. To put it mildly. So if the east coast crashed the system and it's still not working there, and it never worked on CST, I'm figuring that by the time it hits PST, DQ will be out of business completely. Reading the Facebook comments, however, has kept me amused. Some people were claiming that you had to go to your local DQ for the prizes, others were claiming that the DQ site was hacked and there never was a giveaway to begin with, and on and on. I'm dying to find out the end of this saga. I wonder if the Ruffles one will be this big a disaster.
When I go back to the site it says they are giving away a mini-cooper starting on the 15th.

Before you could print the coupon, had to download a Java thingie to get the coupon printer to work. Took a minute for it to install, but I finally got it to work & printed my coupon. A couple of people are reporting they were able to print off 2 coupons, both with different bar codes, so they aren't just printing the same coupon twice. I didn't even try to print more than one....was happy just to get 1 to print!

Went to another site I normally print coupons from and it still wont print! I got the new Mcaffee and I messed with a few setings and my cat sleeps on top of the printer! No way of knowing what the problem is!
