Ha! You're probably right mimo, but they had a point and it gave me a laugh!

smart thinking tho ... or not

If it says its free...then they have all means to take the free %, in my opinion. The shopowner should display products that have Extra Free written on them and it wouldnt lead to confusion.

I think he was doing right by taking the free stuff. I wouldnt think the shop-owners case would stand up in court.

It would alright.

They all say "EXTRA FREE", meaning you get the extra free part, when you get the rest. If it doesn't say "EXTRA FREE", it will have a little * to the side of it, and somewhere on the box or whatever, will say went whatever is purchased.

I wouldn't say that video was cleaver, nor funny. It is thieft.

Hmm, fat free foods should cost less then since the fatty portion is free, right?

No, that would be free fat foods.

I remember the episode of Simpsons where Marge tries to ban sugar, and she goes to the Kwik-E-Mart to buy food. She picks up a box of 'Sugar Free Donuts', but Apu tells her that it is actually 'Sugar, Free Donuts', meaning that if she buys the sugar, she gets free donuts.
