FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

Included with my Parka from the FPP store was a little box with two pieces of chewing gum. So I sent this...

Ordered the parka and am very happy with it.

My question is, how do I get more of the gum you guys threw in there?

Hello Milo,
You are the first person to ask about the gum. We have been sending it out for well over a year. I will see that you are sent a box later this week. By a box, I mean 100 little boxes.

Regards,

PokerStars FPP Store

i too got the gum and was very confused. PS gum, how fun.

i chewed it, flavour lasted under 1 minute

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

Agreed, the store support (Kaye, IIRC) kicks ass. I've also been hooked up in the past after asking a random question (although my hookup was a little nicer than gum [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] ).

I really didn't like the gum that much. I just thought it was funny, the little pack of gum in the box.

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

I was amused when I saw the gum. My parents remarked that they hadn't seen that gum anywhere in years. Moral of the story = even parents initially skeptical of online poker like PStars support.

lol, cool!

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

back when the windbreaker was still for sale (they said they had limited quanities left) I bought it for 1300 FPP's when it was advertised as 1700...i just asked'em nicely and they sent it.

Since we are on the fpp topic....

Pardon my ignorance, what is the rubber band thing for that comes with fpp items?

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

the sheer randomness of the gum far outways the value of any parka

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

Ultimate Bet had mints at one time. I tried one and sold the rest on ebay for a decent price for 20 mints. 2 whole bucks I made.

I never even heard of Poker Stars gum.

I've been trying to figure that out, too.

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

Got my hat today in the mail...and yes there was a mini Poker Stars pack of gum.

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

I've ordered all kinds of merchandise from Stars....Can't tell you how many T-shirts and decks of cards I own....lol

Read my Blog about Poker and Life -- I'll try to entertain and enlighten..

The rubber band is to hold a deck of cards! PS support always has an always will rock. Keep on rockin' PS!

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

Can you spam your blog some more today? This is out of hand. How many posts is this you have managed to spam it into?

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

The gum is actually used to brainwash you into thinking that online poker isn't rigged while it really is....

Sarcasim....

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

I didn't get any gum.

I have been licking my poster of Isabelle Mercier though, so maybe that's why I can't see the true riggedness of online poker?

I was wondering WTF that giant rubber was for, thanks.

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

ps store support is awesome. i ordered the fleece a while back right before the zip up hoodies came out. when i saw they had hoodies i emailed support and told them i would like my fpp's back so i could order a hoodie instead. they told me my fleece was already in the mail so i could have it for free and got a hoodie also.

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

Oh great... now i'm going to play a billion hands so I can order a parka to find out what kind of gum it includes [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I just emailed them about it and they said it was for stacks of cash. I guess you could go either way.

"What do you mean you aren't going to send me a stack of cash to use with the rubber bands?" terrible support.

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

AFAICT, gum does not come with books... three books in the past year, no gum... but my wife and I have personalized autographs of D. Sklansky now! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

damn, at least the gum TASTES good.

(just kidding David)

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

i got two books a couple weeks ago and didn't get any gum.

i have never ordered any pokerstars gear via FPP points.
However, I got a lot of the shirts and stuff in the WSOP goodie-package they give you for qualifying.
But even that didn't include any gum.

However, in the very nice duffel-suitcase with all the different pokerstars shirts and hats, etc was an item EVEN BETTER than pokerstars gum:
My very own Greg Raymer bobblehead doll!!!!

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

i've ordered shirts and sweatshirts and never got any gum. It might be parka-only?

Re: FPP Store Support: Another reason to love PokerStars
 

I got the gum (and rubber band) with my copy of TOP and stress star. This was just a couple weeks ago.
