I totally agree with pointing out flaws, which will eventually make a better product. And trust me, I acknowledge flaws for the PEZ as much as I give it praise. Then again, the flaws are the result of the manufacturer, not the distributor, and Astak has gone far beyond what Sony and Amazon would have done.

As far as the contest, I do not consider a Facebook Contest (which requires a Facebook acct) to be a flaw.

Would it have helped if Robert was to have mentioned 5 points or rules for entry into the contest? Yes, of course. But he was not given that information. He had nothing to do with that information. He simply said "Hey there's a contest for a free PEZ here (insert link)."

I just can't help but get the sense that Robert is being blamed here. MR was asking questions that Robert didn't have the answers to, and frankly, Robert had no business to know, nor did he have to spend his time finding the answers. That should have been the job of marketing, and it should have been on the Contest page.

But the contest was a last minute decision, and frankly, even the most astute person is going to miss something now and then. It was also assumed that since the contest was on a Facebook page, that Facebook would have been a requirement. What blows my mind is the complaining about it. Simple logic. Again, not a flaw, unless simple logical assumptions are a flaw.
