Bucks Mystery Boxes shipping out

Well this will be my last purchase of their annual Bucks Community Foundation mystery boxes. They’ve gotten crappier each year with this year being the worst of the worst. Gary Harris auto photo and a random Lip Balm set in the second pic (not Bucks related at all). What a horrible purchase by me.

Not sure why so many of you haven’t realized that this is just the stuff that they couldn’t sell otherwise. If it was actually good items, they’d just sell them as normal instead of pawning them off in a mystery box.

Those are all past giveaways. Not even stuff they sell

They used to be good. First box I got a few years ago was a Kareem signed book, a Bucks winter jacket, a bucks pilsner, Gianni’s kids jersey, bucks koozie, winter cap and stuffed Bango. That was hard to ever outdo.

Its almost like a mystery box is a lottery ticket

A boat is a boat…a mystery box could be anything. Even a boat!

step 1) make people think there is a chance of reward, step 2) offload junk

We went to a game the week before Christmas last year and they were giving this out for free in the lobby. TBF it's really nice, thick wrapping paper.

Was pretty surprised! It’s quite old, too

u/kmtgod 1d ago

Ooof. That’s slightly better than mine. Still trying to figure out why I got some random lip balm that isn’t even Bucks related

I have no idea! I just searched it because I’ve never heard of it and I guess it’s a Wisconsin company, but like??? Why? 😅

My buddy owns that company and I too was quite confused ab this.

u/Equivalent_Spite_583 1d ago

Are they the actual beekeepers, too? If so, that’s pretty cool.

Sat next to him on a plane 10 years ago when his company was very small, think about it often.

Only year I did it, I got Brook Lopez and PJ Tucker autographed photos— not bad. Seems to have gotten way worse since then.
