Okay, here's a fun little contest and NO Googling ... just try to guess. First correct answer will get 2 of each of the 3 inserts in last week's paper!
QUESTION: When was the very first coupon issued AND what was it for?
I know you could Google and get the answer in a half-second but try to guess. Have fun ... Sandy 1|1|coupon answer|mpoole1|jpoole@cinergymetro.net|17:32:33|11/01/2011|
