| $39 dollar experiment http://www.the39dollarexperiment.com/ This rocks...the guy took a roll of stamps (that's the 39 bucks) and wrote to random companies literally asking for free stuff!! His results are listed as well as the letters, which are so freakin' funny. Well worth the read and gives you some ideas about which companies to contact!!  |

Someone posted this @ my site. so we did our own experiment. we called companies asking for coupons , samples etc. Those that did it, got some good things. free bird food, free sunny d, coupons for free products.

This is very neat. I think this is outstanding! He had an ebay auction and donated and matched the winning bid for charity! What an excellent endevor.

That was to funny some of his letters really made me laugh especially the condom one  I try to at least once a week email a few companies most of the time with praise sometime with a complaint i have never tried emailing asking for samples though. Most of the time i usually get good results from emailing compaines.
