A Grocery Store Promotion Gone Wrong . . .

A grocery store in Russia was linked to 18 cases of food poisoning. So to keep people coming in, the owner said if anyone got sick, he’d pay them a million rubles (about $11,000) each. And people responded . . . by showing up in droves! But they weren’t coming in to support the grocery store. Nope, they were coming in, because they were TRYING to get food poisoning. One report said customers were even seen LICKING THE EGGS, hoping they were covered in salmonella. Now the owner has cancelled the whole thing.
