For a joyful couple months, I worked for a vitamin company. You know how your store credit card bill comes with an envelope for you to mail your payment in? And sometimes there's like an advertisement attached to the envelope flap, a perforated dealy you can order various junk on? My company did those for their vitamins--you could fill out the thing to order a free 30-day sample. What the fine-print let you know, if you read it, was that you were agreeing to have 60-day bottles charged to your credit card and shipped to you automatically.
My job was to take the call from people on the 31st day after receiving their sample, when their first "paid" bottle of vitamins that they weren't expecting showed up. It was great fun.
The best, though, was a guy who called to cancel his subscription. He was sad about it, though, because he loved our vitamins. But he had to cancel them because all that B12 was staining his underpants.
