Free Flames tickets? ... and pseudo-random mumbling about caffeinated things!

I got an email from a brother of mine (the topic should let you guess which) regarding some "free" Calgary Flames tickets. The basic idea: buy a bunch of (overpriced) beverages at a convenience store, and then you can claim a ticket or two (of 200 issued per day for a total of 1000) first-come first-served at the Saddledome box office. Think that its worth it, considering that I'd have to go out of my way to get to the Saddledome box office?

On a related note (given that "Full Throttle" is on the list of applicable beverages): I'm almost out of caffeinated mints, and looking for a Canadian supplier. Does anyone know of one? Unfortunately, the only places that seem to be selling the stuff online have ridiculous shipping fees (I'm also scared of hitting brokerage fess from the couriers they use - I remember once a $45 brokerage fee on a $50 item!) I think I may have discovered a new winner for oddest caffeinated product - how does caffeinated lip balm sound?

It says: "Spazzstick is made in a vast underground volcano lair by the busy hands of industrious worker trolls in a beautiful little Eskimo Village called Kaktovik, AK, by the inventor of Spazzstick and his hordes of worker trolls in a vast underground volcano lair."

I think it's on an appropriate website :P

I don't get how caffeinated lip balm would keep you awake though. I mean, really, how much caffeine can you absorb that way?

It's a fairly quirky (yet surprisingly well-known) website...

Depends on how concentrated the caffeine is

Also-- If you are going to buy beverages anyways, free Flames tickets couldn't hurt! But how can you guarantee you will be among the first 200?

Showing up early?

Go to the game....or else. I had to pay $50 for mine!
