Not again!!! Slowly but surely, I'm getting so fed up with these collection campaigns that it would be a reason to avoid Migros.
So they don't have the effect on me that Migros would like them to have!

The more collecting campaigns - the less the children are into it... The problem is that some adults get collector's fever and buy more than is absolutely necessary, but with the positive effect that they have to do mental arithmetic and try to just break the 20Fr. barrier every time... a contribution to price awareness !? ...and for some a difficult undertaking when the prices are not marked on the item ;-)

Hello everyone,
@wef17 *lol* I think your idea is great. It will be very disappointing if you have products in the trolley for exactly 20 francs, also only have 20.- with you, and then a price promotion has crept in :P ... Very difficult to find a product in the checkout area with which you could then round up to exactly 20.- if necessary ;)
When I discovered the promotion on the Internet, I just thought: "Not again". Another endless wait at the checkout, another loudly screaming children who can hardly wait to get a parcel, and another question about whether to collect :(
Today, for once, I agreed to the question and actually think the tag is still quite "cool". But the whole thing doesn't really have to be necessary (at least for me).
Perhaps the price reductions are also "balanced out" by these collection campaigns, as this simply means more purchases are made!
The funny thing is that older people are really into it and start collecting for their grandchildren :)
There is actually something positive about the whole thing. -It's a lot of fun to watch people going on a collecting spree :P
I have three children and especially like the scrapbooks with the self-adhesive pictures. Nanomania was fun for a short time. Now these things lie in a corner and are no longer looked at, something for the scrap metal collection!
We're not taking part in the new collection campaign. The stones can be worn as amulets. As a Christian, I'm definitely not taking part!
How about plants from Switzerland? Wouldn't that be something worth knowing for children and there's plenty to choose from! Just the plants of the mountains alone.
If you want to collect something, then something neutral.

From my point of view, these stones are not suitable as amulets! This mass of almost 50 different shapes and images can be used much better as a *flea game* and this old children's game has nothing at all to do with esotericism - it is purely a game of skill.
NOT ANOTHER STUPID MANIA! I've had enough. The limit has been reached. No, I'm not collecting. And not for my children, nor for the children of my friends and neighbors. That's because they also say: ready-made nonsense. It just lies around and ends up being thrown away without ever being played with again.

Of all the collection campaigns, I still like this one best, as these stones can be worn as an accessory.
"As a Christian, I'm definitely not taking part in this!"
As an agnostic, I'm glad that I'm not restricted by a fascist faith in my everyday life.
I would simply prefer Migros to invest the money it has spent on this campaign in reducing the price of its products, or to donate one franc to Helvetas or Pro Natura or another ZEWO organization for every CHF 20 spent on a product.
I would see more potential to make a name for myself (the latter) or to win customers (the former) than to throw the costs of production (probably low, because they are produced somewhere abroad with poorly paid workers) or marketing "out of the window", and to add to the mountain of waste. Because sooner or later these plastic particles will end up there ..... and the mothers' nerves will also be less strained :-)
However, I don't see why Christians shouldn't collect these particles. There must be a rather "fanatical" interpretation of the Bible behind it ....

@Aldi : I wonder what you mean by a fascist belief ...! -certainly not agnosticism and I would never accuse you of this either, but I would in NO WAY accuse the professing Christian Orchid of this really serious accusation (did you really mean "fascist" ? and not *fanatic* like your post-forist ?), because unlike you, he will refer to the creation story and this is in no way fascist or racist. Admittedly, it is a story and you either believe it or you don't, which is to be respected.
Many agnostics, including its founder Huxley, were Darwinists, i.e. supporters of the theory of evolution. If we now continue with this theory with the theory of human evolution, it can become extremely dangerous when the "poisoners" are at work, because natural selection (Darwin) quickly becomes controlled selection and thus inevitably ends up with racism.
Hitler's chief ideologue and Reich Minister for the Occupied Eastern Territories, Alfred Rosenberg, also referred to Darwin's theory of evolution.
Finally, a sentence that confirms this (source uni-protokolle.de): These teachings (Rosenberg, racial theory) were inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution although, according to the latter, there are clearly no "superior" and "inferior" life forms for nature.
The consequence: I would never use terms such as "a fascist belief".
wef17: Oops, I didn't even notice that aldi had the word "fascist" in it .... I must have read that as fanatical when I "skimmed" it.
I completely agree with you, a strict interpretation of the Bible really has nothing to do with that in my eyes - and it's a word that needs to be used either calmly or thoughtfully anyway.

Why are there always promotions like these stones for children? It's not just parents with children who shop at Migros. What's the point for everyone else?
It's clear to me that it's about the children forcing their parents to shop even more at Migros so that they have their bricks and Migros earns even more money.
