Back to the Flatulent Fizz promotion and the question raised here seems to be Why would Disney Potco waste time and resources on this promotion instead of something else?

IMHO the answer is ... Because it was easy. Already an in game item, available to basic and unlimited alike. Easy, cheap humor.

The code is redeemable by basic members. But the potion added to the basic member's potion inventory cannot be used, until that pirate account goes unlimited.

When they do another "free unlimited weekend" there will be a lot of farting going on. I can picture kids showing their parents the benefits of "unlimited access" now - I'm sure that will make the money just pour right in.

actually, I imagine basics will be too busy with daggers, muskets, broadswords and bigger ships to care about potions of any kind.

Why would Disney waste time on "Flatulent Fizz?" Because those designing the game think it's funny; it reflects their sense of humor. But let's take a look at the RULES OF CONDUCT, #7. "...you agree that you will not Distribute any Submission that: (a) is defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, or an invasion of a right of privacy of another person; (b) is bigoted, hateful, or racially or otherwise offensive; (c) is violent, vulgar, obscene, pornographic or otherwise sexually explicit; or (d) otherwise harms or can reasonably be expected to harm any person or entity;..."

Throughout these four pages, there are those, including me, who find "Flatulent Fizz" both offensive and vulgar, thus violating Disney's own Rules of Conduct.
