Today’s Daily Sun has an article about Coconuts Internet Café and their shutting down by the Sumter County Sheriff. My wife went to Coconuts last spring and bought one of their telephone cards and this card not only provided free long distance calling but time on a computer to recoup her money. The same as McDonalds Monopoly game.

The total time she received this card allowed her to make long distance calls all summer long at no additional charge. We estimated that the value of that card using a figure of $.10 a minute was over $3,600. It even work for calls to Hawaii.

So when compared to the sweeps at McDonald or Burger King they lose hands down we will take Coconuts any time.

I read the article in the paper and have to admit I know nothing about Coconuts. (I also know nothing about McDonalds Monopoly game.) Maybe someone can educate me. How much do you have to pay to get this card that gets you $3600 worth of phone calls? And then you get time on a computer to recoup your money? What does that mean? How do you recoup your money? And what does this have to do with the sheriff's knowledge?
