I just wanted to share a fun little story with you all.

On Friday I got up and as I often do, wrote a good morning tweet on my [Twitter feed](https://www.twitter.com/jonobacon):

> Morning peeps, how are we all doing today? Ready for the weekend? It has been a busy week here…

I then got this response from the [Pretzel Crisps twitter account](https://www.twitter.com/PretzelCrisps):

> @jonobacon It’s Friday, we’re feeling good! How about some comp’d bags of Pretzel Crisps to start the weekend! DM work addy and we’ll dlvr!

Being the cynical arse that I am, I suspected this was a scam. I checked their Twitter feed, but I didn’t see reams of other similar tweets (as you often see with scams), so I was stumped and replied:

> @PretzelCrisps you can comp me some free Pretzel Crisps? really? why me?

At this point I was expecting this:

A round-brown, copper-bottomed bucket of nothing, sealed with a kiss..

…but I got this:

> @jonobacon You asked how we were doing…and we can dlvr snacks today before the weekend…best Friday ever! DM work addy!

At this point I was either entirely gullible or there was a world of free pretzels about to come crashing down on top of me. Being the kind of brave and adventurous solider I am, I decided to risk this wave of salty deliciousness.

Well, kind of. I sent them my father-in-law’s business address. I am, as they say, a *master criminal*.

At this point I expected to get a call a few days later from one of the folks at the business to say a box had arrived addressed to me.

*A few hours later* we got a call from the business saying that a woman had walked in and dropped off two bags of pretzels. Not two packets…but two shopping bags filled with packets; approx 15 packets of Pretzel Crisps. When Lynne, who works at the business, brought them to our house we were stunned. Free pretzel crisps, and they are delicious!

I sent them a quick tweet to say thanks:

> @PretzelCrisps wow, you folks are awesome, thanks so much for the crisps! They are delicious. Expect a rather nice blog entry soon. 🙂

..and naturally tweeted my surprise generally:

> Huge kudos to @PretzelCrisps for sending us some free Pretzel Crisps, just because I wrote a good morning tweet. They are delicious. Thanks!

There are multiple morals to this story:

* Pretzel Crisps are delicious.
* The Pretzel Crisps company are awesome.
* Being nice and saying good morning can get you free things.

Bonkers.
