Become a Test Subject for an ARG

People are still hoping its more than just gum, like something else tied in that they are making ppl buy stuff to progress in the ARG, but I dunno.

The gum codes unlock constellations and facility keys on the website, which so far seems to just unlock phrases and URLs that redirect back to the test subjects site, but would assumedly do other things when the current countdown timer concludes.

I'm like 90% sure I did, it says my join date. I mean hell, I got the helicopter band thing with the light, where are my logs?? lol
 
I can;t believe they did all this for gum. I was at Bonnaroo and they had dudes parachuting out of the sky during My Morning Jacket and dropping those little whirly bird things with leds on them.

I don't see why not. It wouldn't make any more or less sense for any other product. It's no different than spending a million dollars or so on a new commercial (aside from this being interactive and more interesting; and thus potentially more effective). Wrigley is a multi-billion dollar corporation and they have the money to spend on elaborate advertising campaigns. And I see that a lot of people (including many who never bought the product before) are buying packs of gum to get the Icefly codes, so it's obviously paying off.

I can't believe they didn't do this sooner.
 
If there is nothing more to this than gum then they are geniuses seeing as how a lot of you guys are going out and buying gum for codes that unlock constellations..
 
..i went out and tried to get the artifact ..if this is for just gum i'm buying tons of the stuff just for keeping my interest this long for only gum. i applaud them.

Uh, to make money?

Woah! Thanks captain obvious. You were obviously not at Bonnaroo watching this go down.
 
[quote name='Silver Sol']Awhhh,balls Maude! You got here before me! LOL![/QUOTE]
:p @ Silver

But yeah, I hope in 3 days like it shows on the countdown, we learn something new, cause Ive become bored of it now. Haven't found any gum packs around my area with any codes on it
 
[quote name='Icefall']The dots have been changing over time so its not that simple sadly.[/QUOTE]

Oh really? Wow.
The little square with lines in it leaves me confused.
 
Yeah you can now explore Facility 1 and do some puzzles to power up the building. You'll need one constellation code obtained by inputting a code from a box of gum to fully activate the building, but the other 4 puzzles can be completed for free.
 
[quote name='rossemaszczak']anybody figured out the five electrical coins thing yet?[/QUOTE]

You put them anywhere on the grid. Just make sure none of them are horizontal, vertical, or diagonal to each other so they can't cancel each other out.
 
[quote name='rossemaszczak']anybody figured out the five electrical coins thing yet?[/QUOTE]

Yep. You don't want them to connect either straight or diagonal. Make sure they can't be lined up, like in tic-tac-toe.

Solution for those who can't wait:
B = Box, C = Coin thing, E = Empty space.

Perhaps they disagree. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...so is ugly.
 
Yep, I got banned too, because I was using a drawing of my face. :lol:

Yeah, I'm not exactly weeping over here - I had already forgotten about this.
 
I sent a picture of my 5 year I figured if they actually made a badge he would get more fun out of it then I would... Haters
 
I would of never used a real picture of myself, but I had just been playing with photoshop and had a picture of myself so I thought why the hell not. Glad I did, this gum is actually pretty good. I got the swerve flavor, anyone get a different one?
 
A lot of you folks are weirdly uptight about your faces. Do you wear masks when you go out in public? My face is seen by thousands of people everyday... People see it wherever I go out, it's been in the newspaper and on TV, I've sent it up into space, and it's plastered all over a very popular/high-traffic site, so I have no problem sharing it with a gum company that wants to give me free stuff. It's not like they're going to rape/mug in you in an alley, sell your likeness to the porn industry, or steal your identity a la Face/Off. Personally, I think sending them your picture is a lot safer than sending them your address.

And yes, I realize how hilarious it is that I'm not sharing my face with any of you. But I'm on the run from police and the internet mafia, so you'll just have to pardon the hypocrisy.

Oh, and I'd like to point out that I haven't received a single thing from this promotion so far despite signing up for it quite some time ago. Meh.

Also, any of you who have had your legit pictures rejected should contact them and ask what the deal is.

Actually I have two masks I tend to wear... one is a leather respirator, one is a resin demon mask... so yes, some of us DO wear masks in public. :>

I just got rejected... I used a higher-quality version of my avatar image... which is me.... ....cocksuckers.

Probably because it has to be straight on, not a side view.
 
I got my badge and gum in the mail today too. I'm glad I used a real picture, the badge is pretty cool... I love silly stuff like this. It's now hanging by my desk. :applause:

I got PRISM gum, it's Watermelon flavored and actually really good. I'm mildly disappointed that it's gum but I love the mystery and weirdness of it all!

Also my pack of gum came with a code that I have no plans to use, if someone wants it. Just PM me.

EDIT: Code is gone!

If you wear them at the same time, then that's sexy as hell. I actually saw a guy walking around with one of those respirators on and, assuming he was a painter or exterminator, my friend and I teased him a bit with Darth Vader comments. We weren't mean or anything; just being nerds. Still, I admittedly felt a little bad when I found out that it was another friend's dad and that he basically had to wear the thing to live. Not that it kept us from making jokes, mind you.


[quote name='Luuc']I love silly stuff like this.[/QUOTE]
Same here. When signing up, I was sure to use my real picture because I assumed they'd be sending out badges. I don't know if I'll actually get one, but I would certainly receive it graciously. Years ago, Wizard Magazine had nerdy little things like an Avengers ID and a diploma from the Xavier Institute, both of which I still keep in a shoebox full of comic-themed gift tags and other various trinkets.
 
Weird. I got the email yesterday saying my picture was rejected, but I got my badge and pack of gum in the mail today. Does anyone want the code when I open it?
 
Same here, if anyone doesn't want their codes I'll gladly take them. :D

I submitted a different picture (even though the first WAS me) because dammit I want in on this!
 
Bitchin', I got my badge and gum today. I wish I would've used a different picture. It looks like I'm trying to look tough or angry, but it was completely unintentional. Oh well, it's still cool. The badge is way too big, though, so I probably won't actually wear it. But I'll definitely chew the gum, although the flavor doesn't last more than a few minutes.
 
I was rejected after using a webcam shot of my face, so I sent them an email via the link in the rejection email asking them to fix it. Gum and badge is on the way.
