Another fun way to distribute slim jims
Submitted by stratton on Fri, 12/14/2007 - 15:46Whenever I get a junk mail credit card application, I usually tear up the form and mail it back using the prepaid envelope. Somehow I feel like this will punish the evil banks trying to shove more debt down my throat.
Now I throw away the application and put a slim jim in the postage paid envelope.
Now I can punish the credit card company, hopefully spread the message, and send some business toward the USPS so they won't have to raise their rates.
Try it, I guarantee this is a lot more fun than it sounds.

Not recomended!
I believe it is a federal crime to put mail INSIDE people's mailboxes without paying postage. You can not even leave it taped to the OUTSIDE of the mailbox.
Important to note though, if a person has a mail slot in their door, you can drop unpaid mail through that slot.

I love it my friend
I went to breakfast with my son this morning and as usual put some Slim's under windshield wipers after eating before I left I do that every where I go.
Got home and read this post. I have pulled 5 envelopes from the shread pile and am sending them today, thanks for the awsome idea.

I used to do the same thing.
I used to do the same thing. But I would usually add some stuff in addition to the ripped up application like some pea gravel or random trash. How great to see other people doing this too. Way to stick it to the man.
Like your tactic MashTheGas
Gives me the idea of doing it. Also, how about the large stacks at convenience and grocery stores? Don't have to pay anything at these places. (wisper: --Borders -- magazines)
Hmmmm (light bulb over head)
Hey, I like that idea too. You could cover every demographic in the book store's magazine section. From Bridal to Championship Wrestling!
Thank ya, wisen.
If you are mailing....
You could also send some letters to real Iowa voters that can help us in Iowa......we need help getting 200,000 letters out and time is short.....please help us do something constructive for the good doctor.....
Go here for details....

Keep the post on top please......
And you get a free credit card too...
Now, I don't know this for fact, but a person I know who used to work for a company that processed these applications said that just the return envelope is enough for them to sign you up for the credit card. You see, you were already chosen to have this credit card. You don't need to actually sign for it for them to send you are card. Most of the times there is a bar code on the back of the envelope which identifies who that card offer was sent to. A quick scan of the return envelope, and you're now signed up for the credit card. That's why I also shred the envelope too.
This is our easy credit banking system gone nuts. (If I have it wrong, please let me know so I can stop shredding envelopes.)
I think you're wrong about that
I have been sending these envelopes back for years, usually with the ripped up application inside, and have never been signed up for one. There is a reason for the mile long legalese on the back that you consent to with your signature.

Go to the newspaper boxes in your area and spring for the .50 or .75 cents (USAToday, my favorite) and stick a slim jim or wallet card into each copy. You know that the person buying the paper is a reader, right?
Once in a while I'll get someone giving me an odd look as they walk buy. I just smile and hand them a slim jim, they smile back and take the slim jim.
Mission accomplished.
awesome.
hah! i like this one a lot
Short Circuit
Before anyone else weighs in on this issue and suggests that using Business Reply Envelopes is somehow fraudulent or disingenuous, let me point out that they are an unsolicited gift to the recipient to do with as he sees fit, so long as the address is not altered.
If you're feeling particularly sadistic you could tape same to a brick or fill the envelope with lead shot. It may be rude or impolite, but it would not be piracy.
The vendor is willing to put this power in your hands in THE HOPES of generating more revenue, of course, but is still risking that your use will not be in his best interests.
This way, at least, the clerks who open these envelopes might get exposed to the message.

Put Slim Jims in Restroom Stalls
I put slim jims in every public restroom stall when I go shopping. People always have time to read and need something handy.

I do the same thing. Also leave them in the drivers area at truck stops,When I stay in hotels (quite often) I go down the halls sliding them under every door.When really motivated I'll go to other hotels near by and do the same.
