Fake name company “Lucky Puffs” based in the United Kingdom, are not so lucky after being charged for $635 million over a rather unfortunate matter.
Apparently, Lucky Puffs can’t seem to keep their “Lucky Strikes” up, as they’ve been accused of “striking” a deal with an underground society of leprechauns to rig their tobacco to give smokers good luck. Not only does this sound like utter nonsense, but it’s also considered a form of illegal gambling, which is a pretty lucky thing Lucky Puffs didn’t get sued for.
According to reports, the leprechauns in question have been sprinkling their magical dust over Lucky Puff’s tobacco for years, and the company has been knowingly selling it to smokers. The result? Smokers have been experiencing an exceptional amount of luck, from winning the lottery to finding money on the ground.
It has lead to many customers becoming suspicious, as they claimed to have found four-leaf clovers inside their cigarette packets, and their pockets being constantly filled with Irish coins. One customer even reported that he won a trip to Ireland after finding a “golden ticket” inside his pack of “Lucky Strikes.”
However, much to the dismay of Lucky Puffs and their leprechaun accomplices, their luck eventually ran out. The authorities caught wind of their shady business deal and had no choice but to charge them.
Lucky Puff’s CEO, Mr. Patrick McShamrock, issued a statement saying, “We deeply regret our misguided attempt to bring good luck to our customers. We didn’t realize it would lead to such a high cost to our company.”
In a surprising twist of events, Lucky Puffs has decided to change their brand name to “Unlucky Strikes,” hoping that customers won’t have such high expectations of them anymore.
The leprechauns in question have yet to be caught, but rumors suggest they are still out there, trying to “strike” another deal with an unsuspecting company. We can only hope that other businesses won’t be so foolish to fall for their tricks, and that the luck of the Irish doesn’t come with such a hefty price tag in the future.
