On Thursday, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp will be giving away free pregnancy tests. The promotion, known as “You Might Be the Father’s Day,” is being run in combination with the team’s weekly “Thirsty Thursday” event. Fans can get a 12 ounce beer for $1 or a 24 once beer for $2.
I assume tickets are like $10. So, for Around $30, you can get shit faced, take home a stranger and save the money on the inevitable pregnancy test a few weeks later. This seems like a win-win-win promotion for the Jumbo Shrimp and their fans.
JAX – The last time the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp got this much attention, they had just changed their name to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Jacksonville’s minor league baseball team is having its usual Thirsty Thursday promotion this week with discounted beer — 12 ounces for $1, 24 ounces for $2. But this Thursday there’s a second promotion: You Might Be the Father’s Day. That’s right. In honor of Sunday being Father’s Day, the Jumbo Shrimp will distribute free pregnancy tests at Thursday’s game.
“So you’ll know if you need to return for Sunday’s Father’s Day game,” the team’s website explains. “It will be an evening filled with suspense, intrigue and manila envelopes.”
