      Was Macdonald's undoing in 1984 - russia didn't attend. Were offering free big macs for every gold medal. http://www.nytimes.com/1984/08/10/business/advertising-big-m…

        This popped up on Quora a few days ago. Someone who worked in McDonald's marketing at the time said it was brilliant for them (in terms of advertising). They said it would have put a bit more strain on local store managers and employees due to estimations being about half of what actually went down, but McDonald's corporate considered it a success.

    Sounds almost too good to be true. Will it turn out to be a buy one get one free or something of the like? The details are sparse with this one.

    Simpson's episode is Lisa's first word. USA, USA, USA.

    Krusty: You people are pigs! I, personally, am going to spit in every fiftieth burger!

    If you wanted to go further, they could run a promotion 'Become a member of the Australian Olympic team, every time an Aussie wins, you can turn a gold into a bronze'

  • Do you "have" to be a "fanatico" to get the freebie?

  • +2

    Went to the Melbourne one for dinner once, having never been there before. Walked around for 10 minutes and couldn't find a table, left. Staff downstairs were happy to keep giving out menus and sending people up, staff upstairs were disinterested in even acknowledging the existence of anyone who couldn't find somewhere to sit.

    • +5

      They were full for a reason. They're popular and their food is good (at least in my opinion). Shouldn't let a single bad experience stop you from trying them out!

    This will happen and they will retract their offer.

    I wonder if I can pay the difference for the more expensive pasta and pizza. Asking because there are not many on the menu that are $17 or under.

    I bet a lot of people will be watching the Olympics to see if they get free pizza

    I have a feeling this promotion will stop at the 2nd gold medal.

  • Not many if any good options for <$17

      M8, don't complain, because I wouldn't, ffs its a free pizza, take it or leave it

        I'll take it if they leave it ;-)

      • About 3 pizzas to choose from up to $17. Half a dozen odd pastas.

    My question would be, can it add up to $17 or one item only?

    • +2

      Is the promotion any food up to $17? Or only pizza and pasta?

  • So I just signed up with my spammy email, but are there any instructions anywhere on how to redeem this?

  • +3

    This is going to get ozbargained hard…

  • +1

    Did you guys get any confirmation email? Also, I'm sure t&cs will be added soon to clarify that it's BOGOF or similar. They got 8 gold last time, someone messed up with this one I think.

    • +1

      Yep, after 10 minutes or so.

  • +1

    I never received an email.

    • +1

      Yeah, I never got anything. Not sure if I should sign up again, I just don't want to risk being disqualified for signing up multiple times.

      • I just tried to sign up again because I never received confirmation either the first time. It shows that green tick when I fill in the same email address again, so I'm not sure if it's working or not..

  • +8

    I asked them on Facebook a couple of days ago how it works. They just got back to me, but it sounds pretty good

    You do not need to be in the restaurant at the time nor is it a two-4-one deal. First, you need to be a Vapiano Fanatico to receive the deal. After you sign up, every time an Australian athletes wins a Gold Medal, you will receive an email. Bring your email and your ID to any Vapiano restaurant. When you pay, show your ID and email and you will have $17 discounted from you pizza or pasta meal.

    You will receive full terms and conditions in your winning email! If you have any further questions, please let me know.

    • +1

      ”Winning” email? Don't like the sound of that…

    • Thanks!

    • +3

      Sorry, they've changed what they're saying now. They're now saying the pizza or pasta has to be $17 or under.

      • +1

        Thanks for clarifying, had to +1 for your investigative efforts for our benefit

    • They are also now saying that it is maximum one voucher per day, so if more than one gold medal is won per day it will only count as one voucher. So it actually isn't every time an athlete wins a medal.

      • Yeah sounds more sustainable for Vapiano's, let Vapiano's have the good publicity

  • +5

    First gold medal! Great job, Mack! Free lunch as a celebration :)

    • -1

      Anyone get the email?

      • I think they might do it tomorrow but not sure.

      • I doubt it will be automated, so we'll have to wait for someone to get on the computer and do the mailout.

  • +1

    2 medals now! so we can grab 2 pizzas?

  • Could we just pop in today or do we need to wait for the announcement?

    • nvm. Just saw the post above.

  • Man, these guys are going to get hammered. Can't wait for my freebies….

  • Anyone got the free pizza yet?

  • -1

    $34 worth of pizza so far yiew!

    • only 17, despite two golds

      • -1

        Just noticed that… sh*t

  • +3

    Just got told by a store manager it's a voucher in an email that should be sent about 4 or 5pm.

  • +1

    My email just got sent. :)

  • +2

    Got the email. Looks like it is just one free pizza or pasta for the two golds. Not complaining though.

    • Yes seems like it.

    • +1

      Cue the general uproar at being ripped off for a pizza!

      • +1

        Whining about less free pizza would make Vapiano's remove the promotion so let them have the good publicity and at least we get something :)

        I hope our tax dollars aren't subsidised if the costs are claimed from government

        • +1

          The cost of the materials to make them are tax deductible. Why wouldn't they be?

  • +4

    Just received the email

    "Congratulations your meal is on the house!

    * Free pizza or pasta to the value of $17. Offer is only available Sunday through Thursday up to and including Thursday 18 August at all Vapiano restaurants around Australia.

    Hope takeaway is ok. It doesn't say no in the T&Cs

    • +1

      On their Facebook page, they said that there's no condition on dine in or take away, just the days it can be used.

      • Yay! Hopefully they don't change that by the time we get there :P

    • +1

      Takeaway would be beneficial for Vapiano's honestly

  • +4

    There's no barcode or anything what's to stop me going in multiple times to claim my free feed?

    • Your conscience?
