In high school, I used to call the 1-800 number on the back of the M&Ms package about once a week. We called from the school pay phone. I would ask questions. Report the occasional nut less peanut M&M, ask them to explain their color system, etc. In other ransoms, I just had to get pushy with the short hot guy at work. He's dragging ass. Dealing with super attractive people is so difficult.

  • We used to call 1-800-Tampax and ask questions in the 7th-8th grade. And have free tampon samples sent to boys' houses. Tee hee!!!

  • One summer, Snapple did a free Snapple coupon giveaway if you called in. We called from every payphone in town. I don't think I paid for a Snapple for 2 years. And I drank a LOT of Snapple.

  • In college, I thought it would be fun to call Annie's mac 'n cheese to tell them how much I love their product and ask how Bernie the Bunny was doing.  I got a very angry woman on the phone who said to me, "BERNIE'S DEAD!"  It was kind of traumatic, though I still really enjoy their mac 'n cheese.

  • In HS we used to call the Aflac customer service number from the payphone at school. When you listen to all the options number 7 used to be "to hear a duck quack press 7." Apparently it was amazingly funny at age 16.

  • In 8th grade, we called the sexy chat lines they advertised at 1 a.m. on local networks, claimed to be 19 years old, and talked to dirty old men.

    It was free for women, they only charged men.

    I can't imagine why.

    We did something similar, except we just called payphones and talked dirty to whoever answered. We had a group of guys who would regularly hang out at a bank of payphones at the train station. My name was Jade and I was frequently clad in silky green robes.
