There's just one thing I don't get in the comments so far...
"If that were to happen here people would have smashed them all open and taken everything"?
Really? Because you can do that already. I don't see rioting in the street over stealing stuff from vending machines. Maybe if we were to make it free people would sit there and push the button until they got 30 or 40 of the soda and then go away, but smashing open the vending machines? What?
Giving people your product for free for a short time so they will get a taste for it is good business strategy, as long as you can afford it and the product doesn't suck. Carry on.
