They gamified one of the most addictive substances? Wild.

Cig points have been a thing for a loooong time now, I think as far back as the late 80's? My dad had a billion or so marlboro points he saved up and bought a kayak with. I think most people just use them for a discount on their next pack rather than branded merch.

There was a point I collected all my friends Camel bucks and was going to get I think a pool table.

I got several items from Marlboro even though I smoked another brand. I collect from my friends or find empty packs on the street.

God I remember that when I was little. There was a brochure in the soda aisle with the stuff you could get and I was all "Wow we can get a plane!" My sister then informed me it was a joke, that no one would actually drink that much Pepsi. I was infinitely upset when I found out a guy was suing because he had the points and they wouldn't give him the plane. Elementary school Belly_Beanis was screaming into the void "That could have been meeeeeeee!!!!"

It's been like that for a while. I remember being REALLY confused watching Venture Bros when Hank is talkin with Brock about "manboro miles" and spending them on a canoe. 1) i didn't know what Marlboro miles were and 2) changing the name led me to parse it as "man bromiles" and i was like what the fuck is a fucking bromile

Hey, a hashmap is way easier than a ton of conditional functions with whitelists.

I laughed way too hard at this, jeez.

If it didn't make you wheeze, you don't have enough points for the canoe

In China do they get social credit each time they purchase a Zhonghua?
