If my premise is correct that the 2015 kit is never coming, and the bet is on which kit will arrive first, I can't lose the bet. It can be a push if the 2017 kit never shows up, or I can win if the 2017 does show.

I would argue that a push means neither one showed up and therefor there is no winner because the thread title is "will I get my 2015 or 2017 package first".

lol! I feel like you and me are going to disagree here. So as the person who started the thread I'll give the final decision that a push != one arriving before the other.

You mean you think there's a chance that the two kits could arrive simultaneously?

I would say:

2015 arrives first - 25%

2017 arrives first - 25%

2015 & 2017 never arrive - 25%

2015 & 2017 arrive at the same time - 25%

Why are you so pessimistic about the 2017 kit? Do you think some AC IT glitch has led to you only getting kits in even years?

lol! I literally have no idea why I only get it every couple years. But I sort of want the lounge passes to give to friends and family.

Plenty of bananas to fill the void left by the removal of all hot food.

No monkeys in sight though.

Maybe they can put in a blender so that I can make my own morning smoothies with the banana? I'll take that instead of getting my 2015 or 2017 packages!

Actually, in all seriousness, that actually sounds interesting.

Should we start a petition that if AC doesn't deliver my 2015 and 2017 packages that's ok as long as they put a blender in the MLL?
