Have you heard that thing about how giving birth at Disney World means the kid gets a free lifetime pass?

Or how if you buy that one kind of lollipop, and there’s a guy shooting an arrow into a star on the wrapper, you get a free one?
Also not true.
There’s all sorts of myths of corporate benevolence out there, and TikTok user @gabemunozmusic is here to set yet another one straight.

“I know that there are rumors that we give out flowers, but it’s not true. So, once again, happy birthday, congratulations, you’re gonna need me to put the flowers back.”

You gotta want it without wanting it, yanno?

Somebody’s salty.
Watch out for the streets!
Those streets are full of sweet, flowery lies.
