Molson is holding a contest. The winner gets to take a group of friends (not sure the number) on a coast to coast 48 hr party on a private jet. You have $100,000 to spend in that 48 hours! The catch…you can’t have anything to show for at the end.
Let’s have some fun with this. How would you spend it. Let’s assume we all have partners that we love dearly and would do nothing to hurt them.
Molson’s and LaBatt’s are Canadian horse piss. Strictly stuff for the wannabe “how’s it goin’ eh” hockey crowd. Up here in Canada we have much better speciality beers being produced by the many micro breweries dotting the country. OK, I’m a beer snob, but so what.
Would probably spend most of my 48 hrs in Montreal and Quebec City practising my not so good French language skills. Not quite sure how I’d blow 100k in 48 hrs but imagine I’d have one hell of a hang over when it’s over.
“But honey it was only a lap dance!”
.
But can you get Summit in Canada?!
well I don’t have a partner I love dearly and I could spend $100,000 in 48 hours, no problem… two words : las vegas
Las Vegas?
Sounds good but hard to find when flying coast to coast in Canada. Maybe Casino Rama would have to do!
I don’t think that Orillia and Casino Rama would be in my plans for a “coast to coast” tour. I think that I’d be finding the most expensive, trendy places in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Halifax (I live in Ontario so I’d go elsewhere) and make sure that I was buying the rounds for everyone in the place … I’d imagine that you’d go through 100k much faster than you’d think doing that. The other problem with the casino plan is that you might actually win something which would mess up the “nothing to show for it” idea.
The less selfish option of course would be to drop into a number of big cities and donate some bills to various charities … I wonder if the tax receipts you’d get from these donations would count as “nothing to show for it”?
As Cerveloguy mentioned, many of the Molson products are not really my favourite, but I do like Rickard’s Red which is a Molson product.
vegas not it canada??? minor details… well I don’t know Canada, but I know they have casinos like you say, so it would be pretty easy IMO
casinos = hot young women = large sucking sound from wallet
“Rickard’s Red which is a Molson product.”
I never knew that. Thought Rickard’s was a microbrew product. Shame on me for drinking a Molson’s and not even realizing it.
I’d buy Macca’s Hawaii Victory.
sad but true fact CG…Rickards, the only beer to drink (with Sleemans somewhere off in the distance), is made by the good folks at Molsons. My brother did a stint with them as part of a co-op program in University. How bad an idea is that…getting University students to work in a brewery? Got a free case of whatever he wanted every week. He still hates the taste of beer even today. But he sure was popular at parties.
Hmmm, it would be near the water. Some kind of awesome private island in the Keys. All my buddies, the Bikesport crowd, gold key customers, friends- all flown down there and boated out to the island where we would proceed to eat, swim, eat some more, sit around a big bonfire on the beach, swim some more and generally live it up.
That would be fun. Easily worth $100K.
I’m not likely to win this since I don’t drink however.
I would hire five of the best looking strippers to be giving me a bachelor party in the sky. Yes, I know I am already married.
Would you give the slot to someone? You wouldn’t be able to keep it and use it since the premise of the contest is to have nothing to show for it after you’ve blown all the money.
Lemme see…gotta keep it in Canada huh? I’d advertise that I’d pay entry fee for anyone who wanted to do a tri for the first time (one per customer and not all the same race) and I’d buy them all a tank of gas to get to that race (current cost of gas that ought to eat up the 100g by itself)
