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.

Quite often the mom n pop store I buy my beer from will just give me cases with the winning tabs ️anyway without charging, but I've been a loyal customer for years ( I hate to think how much money I'd save if I stopped drinking beer, lol...thankfully a case is only $11, not NZ or Aussie prices!).

I'm fairly sure they don't accept the ringpulls if they are too old, so take care.

Maybe you are not drinking the right brand of beer. :dm:
If in doubt, drink more anyway and see what happens.

Yeah, they change the design slightly every now and then and stop accepting the old ones.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

They have banned the advertising of the prizes only.

I expect its similar to that time alcohol advertising on billboards was banned a few years ago.

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!
