    Have you been smoking those cigs that ROCKMAN is talking about.:D

    Do you even smoke?


    They may not have tobacco in them... perhaps you're in the control group.

    This is for real cannot find the link anywhere but its coming from USA.

    Cig companies are been hit hard because old/dead smokers are not been replaced by new younger smokers because of the negative publicity cigs get(wow no stuff sherlock)

    anywho the cigs companies are now trying to convert current smokers to their brand by this method. the actual method I read about was targeting clubbers and pubs where its easy to identify the smokers and they get two free packs but not the Q and A session.

    The whole idea is that somkers stay with their brand for quaility first then price so they are out to try and prove theirs is betters. Most smoker will not buy a differnet brand for fear of not liking it and wasting the money so a few free pack gives them the obvious free trial.

    Now if only they done this with beer.....


    They used to run trials in the metropol in cork. I went to one at one stage, you go in two nights (a week apart) and drink 5 pints. After each pint you fill out some questions. After the first pint it was 5 or 6 pages, then 1 or 2 pages after each of the others. I think I got 20 pounds for it (and a nice start on two nights out)

    Seriously send her round to me, free smokes-sweet.

    Was walkin past a hotel in the city centre recently and was in a bad mood due to a few things. Some old one approached me at the door with a clipboard obviously doing market research and i told her to get lost (politely). next thing i see is ones emerging with free packs of beer after havin taken part, sickener^^

    Wouldn't touch them. Probably drugged.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,949 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    they probably have extra cancer in them...

    I've had loads of free smokes in the past. They are in plain white packs, with a number on them, right?

    Of course, nobody knocked on my door, my friend's mother works for a Market Research Company and often asks us to do the research for her.

    Other freebies have included several nights on the beer, testing new products (one I remember is two nights, a week apart, testing some new lager, free taxi home too after 8 pints)

    I get paid for this too.

    Never invite anyone into your house our not comfortable with.
    They (or their friends) might be scoping your property out to see if you have any thing worth breaking in for!
    ...believe it or not, that includes the dog which in some homes, they have been know to steal!

    Not saying the old woman is the above case but the Op case does sound VERY strange!

    Quite strange....

    Sell the story to a newspaper! I'm sure the Herald would run it on the front page for weeks.

    "DRUG DEALER GOES DOOR TO DOOR GIVING FREE SAMPLES"

    Just wait until she returns; stare blankly and calmly tell her: "They were good. Thank you. Yes; I will vote for Fianna Fáil.". Close the door gently.

    do you reckonise the brand at all?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,538 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    The first thing that comes to mind when i think about what the OP has said is, Satan. I mean it's one thing to turn up at someone's door at 5:30, but it's a completely different thing to give away Free Cigarettes. Sounds like The Devil is trying to tempt you, it's what he'd do

    An other idea i had was maybe she's laced the Cigarettes with poison and is trying to kill you, why else would she insist that you smoke them all and not to give anyone else. Seems shifty, have you angered anyone lately?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    What you should do is prepare you own 3 hour long questionaire and when she comes back, invite her in and make her answer it all.

    And have the questions really personal and/or disgusting and/or offensive for extra lols!


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,692 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    When she comes back, pull down your pants and ask her to to take a "drag on your cigar".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭giggsy664


    Get a gun/airsoft and when she comes back, go to the door and stroke your gun while saying "I am the angel of death. The time of purification is near."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,011 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    Have you smoked any of them yet?

    I presume the op is dead.

    RIP op

    A few years ago I was walking by the Holiday Inn on Pearse St and was asked if I'd like to test some new drink out later that evening. I was told to bring along 3 or 4 friends. I think it was some crap alco pops like Smirnoff Ice but it was on draft. You get 5 pints and after each pint you're filling out the same questions. AFAIK it was all men for this. We were then told to go to Wynn's hotel the following week. The same again - 5 pints and questionaires and were then handed €/£25 on the way out.
