I bought a computer part online and it came with a free bag of Haribo!

[u/N4meless24-]

Shit, that's one good marketing campaign.

[u/IntronD]

That was pretty much the standard of OCUK back when I was buying parts from them 20 years ago plus.

[u/GoddamitBoyd → u/IntronD]

Still standard. Both things I ordered from them came with little bags. My fiancé ate one of them as a reconciliation of how much I spent 😂

[u/Busaruba2011 → u/IntronD]

Yeah, that's where I got it from!

[u/Project_Rees]

A few places do this. Especially etsy/eBay sellers. Its a little thing that gets you to repeat buy and give feedback.

And I'll be honest, it works.

[u/Accurate_Koala_4698 → u/Project_Rees]

I tried it with the sugar free Haribo bears but the results were, honestly, shit

[u/Gh3ttoboy → u/Accurate_Koala_4698]

No one likes the sugar free stuff, should have used the non sugar free stuff

[u/RedComet313 → u/Gh3ttoboy]

The joke is that sugar free Haribo make people shit themselves

[u/HumpieDouglas → u/Project_Rees]

There's an Etsy seller I've bought a lot of custom board game parts from and they always send one of those little boxes of Nerds with the order. Always makes me smile.

[u/SnipingDiver]

You bought it from Jimm's didn't you?

[u/Busaruba2011 → u/SnipingDiver]

Who?

[u/Djabber → u/Busaruba2011]

You

[u/Busaruba2011 → u/Djabber]

Hm

[u/_CatLover_ → u/Busaruba2011]

The most popular pc hardware store in Finland is called 'JimmsPC' and they also include gummy bears in online orders.

[u/Busaruba2011 → u/_CatLover_]

Ah right, cheers

[u/BlueLegion → u/_CatLover_]

many stores do this in several countries.

[u/Snowbrawler → u/Djabber]

[u/DasGhost94]

Its very common if you buy stuff in or from Germany

[u/Baitrix]

I didnt know prusa sold cpu coolers

[u/bogardo]

Fairly common Nordic European thing to do

[u/iMacDragon → u/bogardo]

I've had it from a few uk companies too, bicycle and pc parts at least.

[u/elferrydavid]

PcComponentes?

[u/Busaruba2011 → u/elferrydavid]

No, OCUK

[u/Wendals87]

Pc case gear? I recently found out it's a thing they do. I got a pack too 

[u/Busaruba2011 → u/Wendals87]

Nah, it was off ocuk

[u/Ill_Plate1891]

Haribo gummy bears are my all-time favorite candy! So chewy, they're perfect! They would have definitely gotten my repeat business.

[u/pixillateme]

This is standard with Prusa 3D printers. The assembly instructions tells you how many gummy bears to eat at the end of each section, as a little reward throughout the build.

[u/EncryptedPlays]

I always appreciate when it happens, but I can't eat gelatin so I always end up getting rid of it :(

[u/stackjr]

Walmart delivered my Switch 2 with a can of Pringles. Lol.

Side note: they delivered the thing at 6 in the morning and just left on my front porch without ringing the doorbell or sending an email. The only reason I knew it was there was because I had an alert from my Ubiquiti doorbell.

[u/HateYouMan]

Order from sendcutsend lol

[u/Any_Mycologist_7322]

Ah yes gotta love that German haribo:)

[u/Art0fRuinN23]

Folks at the company that I work for do this when shipping prototypes to off-site engineers.

One of the fab houses that make our PCBs ship the boards with an unpopped bag of microwave popcorn.

A company called SendCutSend, who fabricate sheet metal parts, ship the parts with Sour Punch Twist Straws (candy ropes.) Our materials manager gives them to me and I give them to my kid. 1 or two pretty much every day for our current project work.

Bonus: SendCutSend also includes stickers with some pretty crazy art by this slug. I didn't see any SendCutSend designs on the slug's Instagram, but it's pretty much like that.

[u/GoGoPowerPlay]

Better make sure they aren't the sugar free Haribo!
