Yes, I have found 2 or 3. I don't remember what was being advertised but I think it may have been a restaurant. I just threw it in the dump pile. Come to think of it......it may have been the same coin each time & it was just recycled.....lol.

That's awesome. Those must be my dumps. I was getting a few each week. Pulling from a different district and dumping in another, I know they weren't my own dumps. I was thinking of saving them and taking a road trip to "bring them home". Same exact restaurant/bar as you have been getting. Whenever one of these halves popped up, I would groan as the rest of the box was sure to be a skunk. Nothing ever good came out of the boxes with these halves.

your right diver. both came out of skunk boxes today. this is the 3rd one of those i have found and kept with the ads on them. i wonder if the resturant had some kind of promo going on with them? like maybe a free lunch if it is returned to them or something?

I have gotten several with that sticker. I also use to get them from Chucks Hamburgers, good for a small sundae. We had one of those near us, so I use to use them there until they went out of business. Probably got about a half dozen cheap sundaes.

I'm not sure of the promo. I was going to keep them hoping it was worth a drink. After going through box after box of skunks with these cursed halves, I figure it was the least they could do. Eventually, I tossed them back as I was getting so many. Just hope that you don't get more.
