What Does a "Lifetime Supply" Actually Mean?

It might not come as a shock that plenty of companies are more than ready to cast their capitalistic nets on unsuspecting customers who will buy their products and services with the promise of winning a lifetime supply of them. However, the grim reality is that this often the promised "lifetime supply" doesn't actually last a lifetime (or even close to it). 


At least that's what many Redditors found out when they thought they were winning a lifetime supply of something but discovered it wasn't always the case. 


There are rare cases though where the lifetime promise actually panned out, and we've included some of those along with the more disappointing results. It's always nice to keep the lifetime supply dream alive.

Honestly Though, What a Mess.

If you win the free lifetime supply, you shouldn't have to overwork yourself too much just to get the free supply in the first place.

And, Just Like That, We Have a Winner.

If you don't know now you know: Taco Bell is adored by many that might get caught up in the moment, only to go on suffering their self-created consequences after said Taco Bell has been digested.
