How Cool Is KINGSFORD!!

[Jim Lampe]

Back on February 23rd of this year, I receive an email from Kingsford...

in case this is tough to read, the letter states:

Hi Jim,

At Kingsford, we recognize that the frequent grillers -like you- who use our product all the time are our most valuable resource. We want to thank you for your support and for helping make Kingsford the #1 charcoal brand in the country.

To show our appreciation and celebrate your loyalty to Kingsford, we’d like to send you some cool Kingsford stuff. No gimmicks. No need to buy anything. Really, you’ve already done your part.

Reply to this email to let us know if you’re interested in receiving a Kingsford Appreciation Pack.

Thanks again for your loyalty!

So, I replied:

Very Cool! Yes, I certainly am interested in receiving a Kingsford Appreciation Pack.

...and they replied:

dating back to February, I kinda dismissed it... actually forgot about it...

Then yesterday, I get a UPS alert that something is being delivered to my home today...

Trying to think of what I ordered... weighing 3 lbs...
well, today is here and the Brown Truck of UPS stopped by to drop off a box.
Inside was:

a note from Kingsford thanking me for using their product year 'round, a 3 dollar off coupon, a "COALAR BEAR CLUB" patch and....

a Kingsford hoodie that REALLY FITS!

It's like... Christmas in April! Very Cool!!

 

[Benji Chong]

HAH Very cool! Go Kingsford!

 

[Bob Correll]

Holey cool hoodie James!
Congrats, no one more deserving!
Now if Weber will just come through..............

 

[ChuckO]

a "COALAR BEAR CLUB"

I hope Kingsford warned the other Colar Bear Club members of the latest addition
In all honesty, I can't think of anyone better to be recognized. You're not too bad on the grill

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Very nice Jim. I've always had excellent results with Kingsford.

 

[T MacGreggor]

Very cool, Jim! If anyone here deserves the first Coalar Bear patch it's you!

 

[KevinInUtah]

Good job Jim...they need to stop selling Match Light though.

 

[Bill Schultz]

Nice Jim, very cool.

 

[Phil Perrin]

Nice swag! That hoodie will help next winter!

 

[Peter Gallagher]

[Jo Torez]

Very cool looking hoodie!

 

[Mike Willis]

The hoodie is great! Congrats Jim! What did you do to get the email?!? I want an email from Kingsford too!

Really, nobody is more deserving than you! ATTABOY!!

 

[Dwain Pannell]

Nice haul!

 

[George Curtis]

bet you get robbed of that hoodie.

 

[Jim Lampe]

Thank you everyone
George, this isn't New York City

 

[JimK]

Very nice! A very cool hoodie and well deserved.

 

[Rich Dahl]

That's great Jim glad to see you were recognized for your contribution to Kingsford. Wonder if they picked up on it from the forum.

 

[Todd Phillips]

Wow! Thats pretty cool to see them give out such an impressive swag bag! from idea to your front door I bet they got $50 tied up in that. Are you signed up with them in anyway? Just wondering if they carpet bombing from data mining. Or actually awarding real customers. Regardless, still gives me some faith in humanity. Hey Royal Oak! Are you listening?

 

[Jim Lampe]
