[talbs]

[pabs123]

hmm i kinda wanna submit the 10$ form but it seems like a hassle, 5 bucks? lol

[aweroij]

Ehh...too lazy...err I mean I'd rather the money go to a charitable donation.

If anyone is wondering what the settlement is about, I googled it.

I was hoping for something more dramatic like Wrigley's gum causes gum cancer.

A Settlement Hearing is scheduled for November 5, 2010. If the Court approves the settlement and there are no appeals, the cash will be distributed approximately 130 days after the Settlement Hearing. If the Court does not approve the settlement, or if the settlement is overturned on appeal, no cash payments will be made.



That means that there might be no payments so you can't be 100% sure you'll get 5$

[ToxicS]

5$? try 10 dollars

[Sweeney]

5$? try 10 dollars

Only if you can prove you bought the gum.

[phalkon]

funny thing is, you'll probably all forget you filled out the form, then March 2011 rolls around, and you'll be like "WTFOMG 5DOLLARS? I CAN HAS DRUGZ?" (or whatever... i just put drugs, but you might put hooker or something)

[fxckyouguys]

WTFOMG 5DOLLARS? I CAN HAS HOOKER?


no but seriously. thanks for the free cash :3 (maybe)
i was drunk when i filled that out so i probably won't get anything

[ToxicS]

Only if you can prove you bought the gum.

If they ask I'll say I can't prove it I lost the receipts or whatever

[WakaWaka]

too much trouble for 5-10 bucks.
A hell of a wait too.
But yea, free money I guess.
GL to whoever submitted haha.

[Redemptionist]

Thanks for the free cash! took me almost half an hour just to get the $10 check but its free

[Faval]

5 dollars for no effort is better than 0 dollars for no effort

[kittycat]

Thanks for the free cash! took me almost half an hour just to get the $10 check but its free

[munie]

[Elindoril]

Wait until the check arrives.

[Taraberra]

Wait, so how exactly do you all know if this is legit? o_0

I feel a little uncomfortable about giving them my phone number and address, personally. This house gets enough junk mails and calls.

Go research the suit then... It's actually one of the first things that pops-up when you look for the suit... And since it's the direct link off of the news feeds and off the court feeds I'd go with it's legit...

[AliceFi]

damn, this happens only in america, right?
here in europe they would never go as far as this
like for example, nivea's cream against cellulitis doesn't really work, or the danone's actimel to increase your resistance is as good as any yoghurt
but still they don't get sued or anything
