Also, please PM me with VERIFIED stores where you personally found eligible packs of gum.

I will keep an updated list here.

Good idea. Problem for me lies in the fact I haven't any money. The only thing I can offer is the 25$ gift card from the droid Charge hunt. Anybody use VZW? lol

Here in Vegas the only ones I found were at a Texaco and Target.

If your code has what looks like an "i" in it, it's actually a 1.

I'd be up for buying 10 packs for 10 codes =) I'd pay first of course.

I'm going to get more packs tomorrow since it appears that the flavors don't matter - the codes are all that count. If anyone wants me to get them some for just the codes (shipping may be a hassle) PM me and we'll work out the details. There were at least 30 packets at one store so I'll fill any requests in the order they are received. They were priced at $1.27 each + 2% tax. As above, I'll send you a picture of the boxes with the codes for proof. If I get a lot of requests I'll check some other stores around here. If one of them has them I'm sure others will too.

I don't want to make any money off this - just provide a means for people that may not have access to this gum to participate in the game too.

I have no intention of buying chewing gum packs as only manner to retrieve a clue of an ARG, I don't see any "intellectual challenge" in it.
Said this, I recommend everyone of you to start posting in an organized manner all the valid codes you come across, once you have entered them.
If the system they used is weak, maybe new valid sequences can be enumerated and guessed.

Edit: Thinking twice about it, it's not purely the fact of "paying for a clue". It's the fact that only those with physical access to the product will actually be able to take advantage of these codes.
It's discriminatory, and very different to the "recover the icefly" idea, in which only a bunch of guys got the honor of participating physically to the hunt, in behalf of the whole community.
So yea, document your codes, and lets crack their algorithm.. Twisted Evil

Isn't there some rule that companies have to provide an option to play without purchasing: "No Purchase Required"

Or is that only if there is a monetary prize associated with it?

Just curious.

I know that with game like Monopoly at McDonald's, etc. there is an option to send in for game pieces without purchase.
