Indian winners of Android KitKat Nexus 7 giveaway being given last year’s model

[vyral_143]

Google and Nestle had started a promotion contest for Android 4.4 KitKat, where they were giving people a chance to win a 2013 Nexus 7 tablet. All you had to do is purchase the special KitKat packs with the Android logo on them and message the code inside to a particular number.

Now that the contest is over, the winners are getting their hands on a brand new 2013 Nexus 7. Except for one country, where Nestle, who organized the contest, thought it was cool to give last year’s model instead. People from India who participated in the contest were promised the same 2013 model as everyone else in the promotional material but when it came to actually giving away the device, Nestle pulled a fast one and decided to give away the 2012 model.

People receiving the set should put the pics on FB accounts.. self as well as Google and nestle.
Such opportunities shouldnt be missed really. Unless people start being pro active, xyz company will keep taking us for granted.

Such a big company doing promotions and giving this silly excuse to save some bucks... :shame:

Nestle "broke" the winner's hearts.

Have a break, have an expired KitKat.

I wonder if they do this with their chocolates and other products too. Many foreign companies use India as a dumping ground for their low quality produce.

@blkrb0t That's true actually. Foreign KitKats (the ones you buy from those "duty paid" shops) taste significantly better than the ones you buy locally.
