One person might not give 1.25 million dollars, but if each person who purchased the product because of the donation, instead sent in $1, they would have $20 million to buy meals instead of $1.25 million.

The Horrible fact is that P&G are basically taking credit for someone else’s
generosity. Oh normally, I do not comment on other peoples comments-but , Shawn
you need to learn how to read and comprehend what you read.1. The average meal is
not 6.25 cents. 2. They are not donating $1.25 million dollars they are scaming
people to buy their product and out of that profit they take out a the pathetic amout of
amount. If you give me $5 million dollars I be happy to donate 2.5 million.

20 million “meals” at 6 1/4 cents represents a donation of 1.25 million dollars. Are you going to donate $1.25 million?

Good example, Edgar. In fact, this is the case with most ‘charitable’ donations by third parties. They advertise big time with their donation, get massive extra sales, and make more profit. In the end the charity gets less than pennies per item.

The lesson here is: If you want to give money to a charity, do it yourself. Using third parties usually is more expensive.

Cool…so now my small business can advertise offering up to 1 million meals by simply buying a few bags of rice that contain about 1 million grains of rice and sending them to supplement the meals.

(Anyone know how many grains of rice in a 50-pound bag?)
