Default Is There Such a Thing as BLACKMAIL BARTER?

Thanks Gordon,

Your Thank You Card Idea is good timing.

I always admired the way RedBull Hires kids to run down beaches
and go thru clubs and GIVE AWAY F-r-e-e Samples of RedBUll Energy Drink.

You say, "Thanks for Trying a RedBull. Give me your Opinion."

You BARTER Value for Value.

AND

I think I read where "StarBucks" Gives away F-r-e-e Samples of New
Coffee Blends or Flavors. To LAUNCH a new Product line.

AND

Cigarette Companies Give Away Cigarettes to soldiers all over the world.

Cigarettes
RedBull
Coffee

All three are tough to quit.

Here's What Just Happened To Me
During my Dog Treat/Super Spinach BARTER Test...

Remember my Plan.

BARTER A Sample of the Super Spinach Blend Dust
in Return for a Testimonial - about the Dog's Results.

A - So Last week I gave my Neighbor- Trixie -a bag of Dog Treats
Rolled in Super Spinach Mineral Dust - for her 15 yr old dog.

B - Today Her BoyFriend Showed up in the Corn Field Where I was Cutting
A dead Oak tree up with the ax.

C - Thanked Me for The Dog Treats
And the Nutrition. Because The Black Lab that couldn't walk -
just walked to the Porch and then back to his bed. This took 5 days.

D - Jim was Kind of Emotional because they had
been Debating taking the Dog to The Vet to
be Euthanized.

E - Jim INSISTED on helping me load the wood
I'd cut onto the truck.

THEN HAD AN ADVENTURE with me.

F - Because by the time we got the 1st load it was Pitch Dark.
And I drove back via the Logging Road and a football field
distance down the winding road we discovered a Massive
4 foot thick oak had fallen.

G - And Jim had to get out and Guide me while I BACKED
Way, Way Far Up the narrow dirt road - With branches and brambles scratching the sides of the truck.

Did I mention it was so Dark you couldn't see
Hand in front of face?

H - End of Story - After we Piled the last load on my porch.
I gave Jim the Rest of The Spinach Dust for the dog. Directions:
A pinch a day in his food.

And Later.

IT Struck me that IF the Dog Recovers and starts running around
again... (Which the Many Pages of PET Testimonials that Convinced Me TO
TEST THIS out myself - say will happen.)

My BARTERING - ALGAE DUST - For A Dog Recovery Testimonial
is a kind of "Blackmail Barter."

Because to keep their Beloved Dog Healthy
and Happy - Jim and Trixie will have to BUY MORE.

Which means that ANYTHING
We Give Away that is Consumed - And eaten or used over and over
can be A Profitable Way to Barter for Munny.

EVEN
Potato
Chips.

BECAUSE YOU Can't Each Just one.

Thanks,
Glenn
