sorry man, bit vague i guess.

each time i go grocery shopping, which is not often, there seems to be a new 'marketing' effort to sell a companies product. so buy some washing powder and we will send 10 bottles of water off to Africa, or get some nappies and we will vaccinate a kid.

i always think that when and how does this 'stuff' get shipped to Africa, so i imagine a massive warehouse with vending machines all around it that 'beep' when stuff is bought in the first world that has these donations, in essence these folk get our donations immediatly, pending stock in said warehouse is there ;)

the cigarette is just sarcasm on my part as i wonder whats the limit on this type of marketing . So purchase some American Cookies and we will send a cigarette to some dude on death row...
