This headline would not be nearly as intriguing if it included "Company" after "Parent".
- irrational 6y agoI was so confused by the headline until I read the article. Was there really a parent out there with 7 billion tickets? Why would they destroy them instead of redeeming them?!
- vxNsr 6y agoEh, I immediately understood it meant CEC's holding company, I didn't even get the "pun" until I saw this comment.
- ashtonkem 6y agoAnd even if they did want to destroy them, why would they need permission to do so?
- astura 6y agoBecause they are going through the bankruptcy process - if you intentionally destroy assets during a bankruptcy without permission the judge can deny your bankruptcy and you might even be charged with a crime.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoPeople with home machines might want to buy some reels for collector value.
- PacketPaul 6y ago7 billion tickets. That must be good for the plastic spider, finger trap, and a Frisbee. Well not a real Frisbee brand Frisbee. More a flying disk.
- edoceo 6y agoYou're thinking of "flim-brim" / "flying hat" (this joke is for the Murdoch Mysteries/Jonny Harris fans)
- dang 6y agoOk, we'll put the company up there.
