Minnesota Timberwolves Giving Away Free Tickets With Purchase of Butter Kernel Vegetables

Even as the Celtics continue to struggle to hang on to the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race, it's important to remember that things could be worse.

Things are getting so tough in Minnesota, in fact, that the Timberwolves are giving away two free tickets along with the purchase of four cans of Butter Kernel vegetables.

As you can see in the photo below, four cans of Butter Kernel are going for $3.00, which means you and a friend can watch one of the NBA's worst teams (the T-Wolves have a 17-57 record) for the bargain price of $1.50 per ticket – with dinner included.
