Susan and I actually went to this demonstration as well for the free vacation with the same assumption that it was legitimate. Don’t waste your time trying to claim it, because any date you select will not be available. I can’t find the link now, but the Chicago Tribune recently had a story about a lady who tried at least 6 times to claim the vacation, and every time the dates she selected were unavailable. The Tribune tried to help her get the vacation, and the threat of printing the story of their bogus offer was not enough for them to give the lady the vacation.

I hope that at least you were able to get some good laughter out of the demonstration. When we went, the guy was hilarious–though humor was not what he was going for. In trying to demonstrate how efficient the pans were, he asked why utility bills go up in the winter. The “right” answer according to him was that you cook more in the winter. The “wrong” answer that I posed was that it’s cold outside and you have to heat your home.
