Oh no, is this the end of happy ringpull prizes ?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Bingo. That's what I thought and Mrs Cargo was at the market at the time so I excitedly sent her the pic and she replied with 'wow'........I obviously didn't get the sarcasm until she got home.. Yuh, this is the first one I've pulled and not even worth a free can. Boo!
LOL I sent a pic to a Cambodian friend for confirmation and he responded 'wow' as well. Bastard. :facepalm:

Lol. Win half a can of beer. It's the recession. :plus1:
Haven't seen one of those yet, but there seem to be less winners this month. :(

I'm still averaging about half a case of winning pull tabs per case, but the highest percentage of them are these bloody 1000 KHR ones, no problem, just keep saving them up and cashing the lot in for free cases.

Yeah, we've been had. Nearly every win is only half a can these days. Now we have to drink twice as much beer.
I think they might be on to something. :beer1:

Anchor have now jumped on the winning pull tab bandwagon as well, a friend of the families just won $10,000! He's had his picture plastered all over facebook receiving his giant $10k cheque.
