Okay, here is Marketmanila 5th Anniversary mini-contest # 2. Everything I eat must eventually come out. So today I am sending you on a treasure hunt through the archives not on what goes in, but what comes out. Please use the search function to look for key words or phrases, and make sure you go clue by clue, they are numbered. If you happen by chance to come across a clue out of sequence, you have to start again so you have seen all the clues. When you get to the final clue, it will indicate you have finished the hunt and give you instructions. All folks who successfully complete the hunt will leave a comment on this post, and one of those entries will be randomly picked to receive a bottle of Marketman’s kalamansi marmalade! Good luck and happy hunting, if you are good, it won’t take more than 10 minutes if you read fast. Let’s just hope the site doesn’t crash from so much more search activity than usual!
Your first clue is : ART and TOILET HUMOR
THIS MINI-CONTEST HAS BEEN CLOSED TO ADDITIONAL ENTRIES. THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE DAYS AHEAD. CLUES WILL BE DELETED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
