i love the questions they ask.

"8.) How would you describe the consistency of your feces?"

They're kind of strange but probiotic products are supposed to help with digestion so I guess it's relevant.

IS: thanks for the share.

It's definitely relevant... the whole point of this study is to see how you feel before and after eating the probiotic yogurt... and that includes how your feces change. :p

I think you're a bit too skeptical of freebies. No doubt, there definitely are fake sites that advertise freebies to harvest informtion, but there are also many legitimate offers as well. I've been a longtime member of RedFlagDeals, so I have a pretty good sense of which offers look legit. By all indications, this seems to be a legit site, and while I can't guarantee this or whether people will get the coupons as promised, my money is on that they will.

Well, yeah... you should be able to. It'll be a manufacturer's coupon thing... like stuff you might find in magazines or even printed off online...

You'll never get spam snail mail, because it costs too much to send. But as DragonChi mentioned, if you have any doubts about giving your real email, you can always use a fake email or make another email account at GMail or Hotmail or www.mailinator.com to use.

Man... you guys need to have more patience. :p

In general, expect freebies to arrive in 4-6 weeks... they don't send it out the day you submit it. :)

Give it time...

I only cross-post the good freebies here... I filter out all the crappy stuff. :p

Apparently this is a bust... we're not going to get our free yogurt.

One reply that someone got when inquiring about it:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Unfortunately, the data for this study has become invalid due to a technical mishap beyond our control.

We want you to know that your personal information was not saved.

To resubmit your application and take part in this study, please answer the questions online at www.etudeactivia.ca.

To learn more about our promotions, please visit our “Promo section” online at www.danone.ca.

You can be assured of Danone's consideration for all comments and questions from its customers.

In the new rules that they have, it includes the following:

This Study is reserved for a limited clientele, on invitation only, by referral from participating medical clinics. It is not a promotion for the general public.

They totally screwed it up the first time around and bit off more than they could chew by offering that without limitations to the general public, and probably couldn't afford to honour all of the submissions.

Oh well... they can take my bowel information and shove it.

Every unsatisfied customer will tell 10 other people,

Wow, what do you know... looks like it might not be a total bust after all.

Got an email today from them!

After examining your application, we’re pleased to announce that you’ve been selected to participate in our study.

We’re happy to have you among our study participants. By participating, you’re making a commitment to consume one Activia probiotic yogurt every day for two weeks and answer an online questionnaire that you’ll be given before the beginning of the trial period. We’ll also send you a link to a second questionnaire that you’ll complete after you’ve finished your 14 days of yogurt consumption.

Activia probiotic yogurt contains the BL Regularis strain, which is exclusive to Danone. Several studies have shown the beneficial effects of Activia on digestive health. The study you’ve agreed to participate in will allow us to evaluate the benefits of this unique probiotic strain on your digestive comfort. Your answers are important to us: the results will be studied anonymously, and your answers will not be associated with your personal information. We also want to remind you how important it is to comply with the contest rules, to eat one Activia probiotic yogurt every day, and to provide us with full, accurate information when you answer the study questionnaires.

Please remember that the study regulations, which you read when you applied to join the study, are still applicable. By participating in the study, you’re agreeing to comply with these rules. You can reread them at www.activiastudy.ca.

Survey was over subscribed. Company decided to only use a random sample of the applicants which will give them equivalent results without the cost of giving away 2 weeks of free product to each one of you deadbeats.
