Certified Legendary Thread Chrisco Hampers - who in their right mind buys them ?

[Elixuh]

It's this kind of limited thinking that would be heavily frowned upon at Chrisco HQ.

"How much ice cream needs to be consumed to use that amount of topping?"
"Hanrahan, this is why Thompson was promoted over you"

*six months later*

"Well done Thompson, the toppings hamper was a huge hit. Hanrahan, you could learn a thing or two"

But they’ve missed an opportunity using your rationale. They could be selling the white Christmas hamper alongside the toppings - 400L of vanilla ice cream.

To be honest I don’t picture these people as thinking that far ahead. I picture them on Christmas Day drinking the toppings out of the bottle.

No wonder all these people always seem to be lard arses.

They genuinely don’t leave their homes. There is plenty of stuff at the shops.

Much better shit than the garbage you get in an overpriced hamper.

Pay $250 premium on a credit card...complain that there are no specials on the shelves

The more these **** heads complain the less I understand why they do it. Why not just buy things through the year (online if they're that against leaving the house ) and put them away until Christmas? That way they spread the cost out and don't have to pay $250 for the privilege.

The deluded flogs think this is ‘saving up’ and ‘getting ahead for Xmas’

This is what I don't get. Buying the groceries or other crap "hampers", I can somewhat understand as they don't want to go into the store. Stupid argument but I will at least concede it as a personal choice.

But buying a giftcard hamper, means they go to the stores at their most busiest time of the year, and also pay 10% more than if they just bought stuff during the year when it went on special.

Great business model.

Engage third party to carry out core functions of business -> watch money stream on in.

Most places do 3-4 months layby…without the $250 surcharge.

She could have bought her kids one of these, all under $250

Yet its still worth 5 stars. Go figure.

The second, verb, definition is far more appropriate. Perhaps they should start calling them Chrisco R3tards?

It also came in a nice box.

Checked the fridge and I have one bottle of chocolate syrup that I bought about 5 years ago on a whim thinking I would make milkshakes and have it on ice cream on a regular basis. It's probably years out of date and is occupying valuable door space which I will need when my ice cream topping hamper arrives. Having the full suite of flavours available over the Christmas period is worth the outlay.

My yearly tradition is to read a year's worth of this thread while in transit over Christmas. Thanks to all!

Only beaten by the Jake Stringer thread (which rescued me from a bit of a dark mental place a few months ago) and Mofra's Bottom 50.

Keep up the good work guys!
