The vitamin drink , friend to hungover salarymen everywhere, launched a campaign today where one lucky person an hour, for 73 hours, will each win 50 bottles of the sweet and sour beverage. The catch? Contestants must install a ,?¡°like¡± the Oronamin C page, and fill out a simple form. Yes, it¡¯s a marketing ploy for the company to gather information and boost its Facebook followers, but giving away that much Oronamin (3,650 bottles in total!) is still pretty cool.
What¡¯s the deal with the number 73, though? It¡¯s a play on the Japanese spelling of the popular drink, where 7= na(na) and 3=mi.?By 1 p.m. today, they will have already given away 650 bottles. A lucky 60 people still have a chance to win, so if you¡¯re interested, start by ¡°liking¡± Oronamin C¡¯s page, and then start thinking about where you¡¯ll stash all those little brown bottles.
