- Anyone with God given red hair and a Longshoremen's beard will be granted a 10% discount on Ginger Twin purchases.

- Identical Twins will be granted a 15% discount on Ginger Twin Purchases

- Identical Twins with God given red hair will be granted a 25% discount on Ginger Twin purchases.

- Identical Twins with God Given red hair and Longshoremen's beards will be granted a special treat (each) and 50% off additional Ginger Twin purchases. [via]
