DICE traded laptop for 100 buns

"Marie Wiegurd in Stockholm had some difficulties with getting enough money for her two teenage boys, Pontus and Rasmus, that needed a computer for their schoolwork. But then she got a great idea. She put up an ad on the internet, in hopes that someone would want to trade their computer against her 100 newly baked buns."

"The ad was discovered by the four coworkers Calle, Niklas, Jannis and David from the game developer DICE in Stockholm.
- We thought it was a really fun thing. We talked over a lunch about the computer we had and her 100 buns and decided that we should make the deal, said Calle Wahlfors."


"When Marie Wiegurd came to DICE, the bun baking mother was met by applauses and cheers.
- We mailed everyone in the company that we had buns. They were consumed in half an hour, said Calle Wahlfors."
