Doing the Math

M & Ms currently has a promotion: Collect 8 pouch tops and get 2 movie tickets for Cineplex.

I'm not the best at math, but this is how I see it:

A bag costs around $5-7 (with GST).

Collecting eight means it's 5 X 8 = $40.

The price for general admission to the theatre is $6.50.

Two tickets = $13.00.

So, M & M's wants me to spend $40 to get $13…I think I'm better off just buying the tickets…(of course, I suppose it makes sense if you're going to buy 8 bags anyway, to send in the pouch...
