There were more than a few things to take away from the Milwaukee Bucks’ 122-114 victory over the Miami Heat on Monday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo bounced back nicely in the second night of a back-to-back set following their deflating loss against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
One thing that stood out for NBA reporter Jack Maloney of CBS Sports, however, is a particular promotion by the Bucks that was announced during the game. As it turns out, a lot of fans were equally confused by the insane mechanics of the promo.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Wild Promo Announcement
Maloney took to Twitter to share what he believes to be an extremely complicated promo courtesy of the Bucks PR team:
bucks just announced an all time convoluted promotion
if the bucks score 95 points before the end of the third quarter you can go to kwik trip and use your kwik trip rewards card to buy an 18, 24 or 30 pack of michelob ultra and you will receive 30 cents off each gallon of gas

If you had a bit of trouble trying to understand the mechanics of the promo then you are not alone. The tweet went completely viral as fans reacted to the bonkers marketing effort.
Maloney also pointed out that apparently, there are no Kwik Trip outlets throughout the city of Milwaukee:
making this even funnier is there are zero kwik trips in the city of milwaukee and only one within 10 miles of fiserv forum pic.twitter.com/GmEWxR4n1b

To add insult to injury, Maloney took a dig at the Bucks’ marketing team for their rather questionable promo:
this is killing me lol i desperately need to know what ideas were shot down before they settled on this

Bucks Trolled Hard on Twitter
As mentioned previously, a lot of fans are on the same boat with the NBA reporter. The keyboard warriors wasted no time trolling the Bucks for the promo:
having alcohol and gasoline in the same promotion sounds really not well thought out

Is this a parlay?

I'd love to see someone explaining this to a Kwik Trip cashier at 1 a.m.

But only on Tuesdays when the humidity is at less than 50 percent

You can always rely on Twitter for a good old clowning. Unfortunately for the Bucks, they were on the wrong end of the joke this time around. Hilarious.
