s/o MLM's: Gifting Tables and the Airplane Game

[cleo29]

The airplane game sounds confusing. lol

[turkletsmom]

I listened to both of these but don't remember them too well. I do remember in the Gifting Table one that Patrick was joking that he wished he could be a "Salad" lol. I love them.

My mom remembers being invited to a party where there was the airplane game, but she didn't have the buy in money. This would have been late 70's.

I've never successfully gotten people to participate in a 3-level chain letter where all you had to do was mail stickers to someone.

There is zero chance that I could find 14 people willing to pony up $1500 or more to be on my imaginary airplane.

jinkies, I don't think I ever completed one chain letter that was sent to me. :/

I did respond to one once, like a postcard chain or something, and then months later received a letter in an airmail envelope written in a different alphabet (and this was in the 90s so not a ton of resources available lol). My mom put up a notice on a work bulletin board and found someone who could translate it. It was from a young woman named Oksana in Ukraine and we wrote back and forth for a couple of years and then I guess just trailed off. I remember she was probably in her early 20s and had a baby in the time we wrote. I know we sent a box of baby stuff to her. So random and I totally forgot about it until just now!

It was! I bet with the magic of Twitter or TikTok I could find her if I had any followers at all lol.

This feels like something that would appeal to the antivax crowd. Who needs common sense when you can create your own destiny?
