"Super Ketchup"

This four-pack assortment of delicious gourmet ketchups, tested by us as a French Fry condiment, could by YOURS.

All you have to do is win the contest.

Tell us the 23rd Thing To Do With French Fries Besides Eat Them (see this page) (And please keep it clean.)

Your entry should be short. About one sentence. You may write a multiple or spanning entry, but it better be really good if you do.

The prizes:

First prize is a four-pack of the Formula 9 Gourmet ketchup.

Three runners-up will each receive a single bottle of the ketchup of their choice.

Rules and legal stuff we have to put in.

The rules are fairly simple:

  1. You have until April 30, 1999, to submit your entry.
  2. Only one (1) entry per person and we are really serious about this.
  3. The winners will receive either the four-pack or the single bottle of Formula 9 Gourmet Ketchup, depending on standing. There are no other prizes in this contest. Your prize will NOT be awarded if we are unable to ship the bottle of ketchup from the US to your country due to your shipping laws. It shouldn't be a problem since it's only ketchup and there are no animal products in the stuff, but customs in some countries can be a real pain sometimes. We promise to give it our best shot.
  4. This contest is open to anyone anywhere in the world, unless it's prohibited by law, and you would know better than we would, so if you submit an entry, you are telling us that it is legal for you to enter the contest.
  5. If your country requires some other question of skill or knowledge, even though this contest is NOT a sweepstakes, then answer the following question:

    What do Germans call Germany? A) "Frankreich"   B) "Deutschland"   C) "Amerika"   D) "George"   E) "Zis kuntree"

  6. If you do NOT live in a country that requires you to answer Rule 5, you may still answer it, but giving the wrong answer will disqualify you. Really. So answer correctly.
  7. Employees and/or management of Select Ware, Inc. and its parent company, De Re IT Corp., will be the only judges of this contest. <yawn> The decision of the judges may be pure whim but it is final.
  8. As in any fair contest, employees <yawn> and their families and suppliers <yawn> and all those other similar people who might be involved with this <yawn> contest in some way <yawn> are not eligible.
  9. By submitting an entry, you give us the irrevocable right to use your name and entry on our site in any manner we see fit. You also accept that we have an odd sense of humour and might make fun of your entry and you agree not to sue us if you don't like any comment we make.
  10. Keep it clean. Kids blah blah blah sponsors blah blah awards and references blah blah blah. <yawn>
  11. Anything we forgot (depending on your local laws and ours) you can just pretend is written here and we will honour those rules. Of course, you can't pretend that there's some rule where you live that says you have to win.
  12. OK, you can pretend there's some rule where you live that says you have to win, but it won't count as a real rule.
  13. This contest is probably subject to a lot of rules and regulations we've never heard about. We're just trying to have some fun here and give away some ketchup. So if you are a hotshot new law enforcement officer trying to make a name for himself by enforcing the most obscure laws he can find and making us some sort of example case, please just tell us what we're doing wrong and we'll try to fix it right away.
  14. Because if you don't, then you are also prohibited from entering the contest and winning some of this amazingly good ketchup. And we wouldn't want to deny you a fair shot.
  15. If you ever sue us or plan to sue us for anything ever, then you are also disqualified. But if you take part in this contest then you agree not to sue us for anything concerning this site and what we say and do here, even if you feel "mental anguish" from it, which means you won't be disqualified after all.
  16. Employees of HOTBOT are also NOT ELIGIBLE until one of them fixes the search programs or enters our site in by hand. This site doesn't appear on Hotbot searches because we say "French Fries" too many times on a page.

The Question Of Knowledge (See Rule 5 above)

A Frankreich

E Zis kuntree
F I don't know AND I don't have to answer this in my country

The 23rd Thing To Do With French Fries Besides Eat Them is:
         

If I am a runner-up, I would like a bottle of
1 Roasted Ginger Ketchup.
2 Cranberry Ketchup.
3 Roasted Red Pepper Ketchup.
4 Roasted Garlic Ketchup.

If it's not too much trouble, could you tell us how you found the OFFP? In a newspaper or magazine article? Random Search? Link? Please tell us the name or URL. We're curious.
This will NOT affect your contest submission. Well, probably not. We don't think so. But it wouldn't hurt.

I decided not to play along, so just

 

The Official French Fries Pages states for the record that we are solely responsible for this silly contest and probably deserve any problems we have as a result. Unless you mean "probably deserve" in a strictly legal sense, in which case we plead Not Guilty of whatever the charge is and plan to use ignorance and anything else we can come up with as our mitigation. Actually, we only thought of this disclaimer at the last minute and even then had to write it without the luxury of a boilerplate or legal counsel.

The maker of the ketchup, Califrance, is only involved in this contest inasmuch as it is providing the prizes and paying for the shipping. It has no authority or control of the contest nor of the content of any pages on this Web site. None. It's our site. And in case you're wondering, no, we didn't "kiss up" to them by writing a great review just to get free ketchup.
