No doubt they are using that fishbowl for marketing, but they also honestly gave something away. And have never emailed me or mailed me anything. So not everyone is purely evil! Maybe just Panera Bread! @pandaonaplane

I'm pretty sure all of my friends have won. The place is so terrible we actually stopped going months ago, but they called me last week to tell me I won again. @pandaonaplane This really terrible bar in Manhattan does a free 1 hour open bar for 50 people with that.

So that was something. But yeah, mostly spam email promotions. @pandaonaplane One time I won free tickets to a standup comedy show. So that was something. But yeah, mostly spam email promotions.

It would make shopping at so many places in the city considerably cheaper. I wish that I still had a copy of my old college ID.

As a counterpoint, though, the Chipotle near my school has one of these, and I have gotten in on 3 or 4 "free burrito for 10" through my friends. So maybe only drop your business card if you don't mind getting marketed to? @pandaonaplane What a disappointment.

Right after college, I did catering at Panera Bread and we used this trick to find people to market our services to. No one ever won the mythical "Catered lunch for 5".
