Process
Phillips calculated that the return on a mail-in food promotion outweighed the price of the Healthy Choice frozen entrees. He later discovered the same promotion also included individual pudding packages at 25 cents apiece. He subsequently visited ten grocery stores in the Sacramento area, buying every case of pudding available, totaling 12,150 individual servings of pudding, for $3,140. In order to divert attention, he claimed he was stocking up for Y2K. The details of the promotion included a bonus if the packages were mailed during the month of May 1999; Phillips, unable to remove all the UPCs himself in such a short time, recruited members of the Salvation Army to help peel the UPCs off the puddings in exchange for the donation of the pudding.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“It is part of the nature of consciousness, of how the mental apparatus works, that free reason is only a very occasional function of people’s “thinking” and that much of the process is made of reactions as standardized as those of the keys on a typewriter.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“A process of genocide is being carried out before the eyes of the world.”
—Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
