Cookies Could Send You To Cape Town
Eat cookies, win trip. That's a no-brainer if we ever heard one, so the marketers at the Khaya Cookie Company might be on to something. They've started up the Quest for Cape Town competition and the winner gets a 10-day trip around the Cape Town area in South Africa, choosing from food and wine, eco-tourism or sun and surf themes.
Khaya Cookies include various shortbreads and granolas that are made with organic materials sourced from the winelands area near Cape Town, and the "cranberry rooibos shortbread" sounds like the most delicious one to us. If you buy a pack, you get an automatic entry into the competition to win the trip, or runner-up prizes like a Kindle, or extra boxes of cookies.
You can even check fellow cookie-addicts at the contest's stats page - when we checked, the leading entrant had scoffed down 22 packets of cookies so far. Entries close on July 15, after which time buying extra packets of cookies will become a slightly more "guilty conscience" action although at least these cookies say you're helping create local jobs in South Africa. Eat up!

Ryanair's Fees Can Get More Ridiculous, With Your Help
Bold and brash low cost carrier Ryanair are not the kind of airline to suffer too badly from negative publicity like the pay-to-pee idea; they just turn it all into another circus of media attention that keeps the name Ryanair on everybody's tongue.
Including ours. Because they've just launched a competition for passengers to suggest another even more ridiculous "discretionary charge" that Ryanair could add, and the most creative suggestion will win 1,000. While the contest doesn't close until the end of March, there have already been some pretty interesting suggestions:
Charging for toilet paper with OLearys face on it
Charging 2.50 to read the safety cards
Charging 1 to use oxygen masks
Charging 25 to use the emergency exit
Charging 50 for bikini clad Cabin Crew.
We're pretty keen to see not only how ridiculous the winning fee idea is, but also how long it takes before Ryanair implements it, too.
