Morrisons isn’t giving away free food boxes to people who comment on Facebook posts
Facebook posts claiming Morrisons is giving away free food boxes for its birthday are not genuine.
Morrisons told Full Fact these are not real offers from the supermarket.
The posts say: “As a celebration for Morrisons Birthday in just a few days everyone who Hits like and comments: ‘Box’ gets a free food box. [sic]”
They include images of what appear to be Morrisons-branded “free food boxes” in the store, one beside a sign reading “Celebrating 125 years of Morrisons!”
