The first mate bought me a box of Fruit Roll-Ups™ the other day which is how I learned that General Mills is running a promotion that is giving laptops to kids without cash in places like Haiti.
Helping to educate
In 2010, Fruit Snacks partnered with One Laptop Per Child, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide educational opportunities to the world’s poorest children.
I did a couple of posts on them a while back: One Laptop Per Child In Haiti and Smart Idea.
You can get more information on the promotion at WinOneGiveOne.com.
The official rules say they are giving away 2001 laptops. I assume this also means that an equal number will be donated to poor kids. But they are not specific about that in the rules.
And of course Amazon will sell you Fruit Roll-Ups™:
Fruit Roll-Ups Fruit Flavored Snacks, Strawberry, 4-Count Rolls (Pack of 18)
Note that the rules say that on average you have to buy 19,000 boxes of Fruit Roll-Ups™ to win one laptop. What are you waiting for?

Is a 2001 laptop worth more than a fruit roll-up? Didn’t laptops still have floppy disk drives in 2001?
They’ll just be stolen or broken.
Haitians need property rights, not Windows.
