Win A Trip To Atlanta Geogia With iCoke

Yes..! for Canadians only! You can stand a chance to win a trip to Atlanta Georgia just by buying any 591ml Coke products and the trip is for 4 people.  You can bring the whole family or some of your buddies or even your extended family.    This contest is in conjunction with the celebration of Coca Cola’s inventor John Pemberton who invented the drink in 1886.

But of course you and I know that not everyone will win the big prize, but never mind because lots of other prizes are given away everyday.. prizes from Best Buy and Cineplex Odeon gift certificates.  But don’t forget you need at least 500 coke coins to enter and as soon as you buy some Coke product you will get your coins.

Sobeys Not So Ready To Serve Eh!

Well.. i did get a reply from our “friendly” grocery store, in fact one of the biggest in Atlantic Canada.   If you don’t know what i’m going on about.. i wrote that i missed my rum and raisin ice cream from Haagen Dazs and since our local grocery do carry Haagen Dazs, i had written an open letter .. to customer service and to cc a copy to Mr Jason Potter - Operations President of the Atlantic Stores.

Below is the reply I had gotten yesterday and to say that i’m disappointed is an understatement.  Not only is “Ann” who doesn’t have a designation said that they are not carrying it.. but even if they do.. in the future.. they will have to consider listing it.   And I thought Sobeys was very into “customer service “.. and will go beyond and above their call of duty . But nope.. i was proven wrong.

Oh well..!!  i am gonna send a hard copy of my request again to Mr Potter, to let him know that this is the way .. “Ann” does her best for customer service, so he will know how i feel.   In the meantime, I think I will switch and support some other stores instead.. like Walmart.. or my friendly neighbourhood meat market.

Hi Jan

Thank you for taking the time to write. Unfortunately this item is not available in Canada. Should it become available we will consider listing it at that time.

Sincerely
Ann
