*Deletes a sputty point from Nini's card*

Nini · Sun 14 Sep, 2008 18.09

No! Damn you cdd, you just cost me a Sputty point! This is how Nazi Germany started.

It's true. Hitler thought he'd get a sputty point by exterminating the Jews, but he was mistaken.

Come to think of it, perhaps I let it get a little bit out of hand...

Tsk Sput. Simply tsk.

You're just marginally worse than those strange little leaflet thingies in cigarette packs that you could exchange for cheap tat.

OK - it's a bit off topic (what isn't, really?) - but I have to ask: what "strange little leaflet thingies in cigarette packs"?

Loyalty tokens you collect and redeem for goods or services. I got a nice little moleskin jacket out of the Benson & Hedges catalogue.

They're frowned upon now as they are seen to encourage the vice.

Do they still exist? I thought they went away years ago

Thanks Gavin. When Nini said "leaflet", I guess I had visions of some little booklet filled with health warnings developed by bureaucrats in Brussels that had to be stuffed into every pack of cigarettes.
