You guys, I had one of the most random experiences ever this morning—and it was kinda fun!
Months back, the folks at Conoco contacted me about the #TreatYourCar campaign they have enacted in the Denver metro area. Unfortunately, Will and I were backpacking that weekend so I couldn’t participate in the event. However, Conoco has been spreading the love throughout the fall months so we were able to make additional arrangements so I could check it out. Thus, I spent my Saturday morning at a gas station!
Here’s the deal: Conoco had rigged some of the gas pumps with a “special squeegee.” Consumers could choose to use the squeegees to wash their windows and lo and behold, many of them were surprised by a whole handful of vibrations and neon lights {Seriously, the squeegee handles lit up with pink and yellow flashing lights!}
After they were notified they had won something, one of the attendants would come over to give the consumer a gift bag along with a Conoco gift card. The gift cards were worth varying amounts ranging from $5 to $50, and I swear—it was so fun to see the winners of the $50 cards!
My favorite was this lady:
I had been talking to one of the attendants when I just heard some hootin’ and hollerin’ coming from the far pump. I looked over and this gal was jumping around, cheering and waving her arms. She had won the $50 card, completely covering her gas fill-up for the day, and she was beyond excited!
Y’all, I never realized how fun it would be to watch dozens of people win something when they least expected it! All of these men and women just randomly pulled into the gas station because they needed gas, but every single one walked away with some amount of free money. We can all use that, right?!
I’m not sure how long they’ll be in the Denver area, but follow along with the hashtag #TreatYourCar on Twitter to see if they’re coming to a pump by your house!
Disclosure: I was compensated for my day with Conoco, but I swear—I had a lot of fun!
