School computer giveaway snagged in Frederick County
A Maryland liquor commission blocks a tie‑in giveaway by Fox's Pizza Den with Del Monte and Apple, citing liquor law violations. The plan offered pizza purchases with points toward Apple computers, but beer service at the venue and free items to induce alcohol use trigger legal concerns. Another local chain, Jerry's Subs & Pizza, faced a similar penalty for a Frisbee disc incentive.
