Comment The chocolate game (Score 5, Interesting) 327
These 'too good to be true' schemes always take me back to primary school, when there was a letter going round:
Free chocolates for everyone: Please send me 1 chocolate and then send this letter to 5 friends. Everyone gets 5 chocolates just for buying one. Amazing!
I was so upset when my dad refused to buy me the one chocolate. How could he not understand!!! My friend who gave me the letter was equally outraged with me. Everyone around was getting free chocolates. Of course there were losers in the end. At least I learned an important lesson about schemes which seem too good to be true.
