During a November pre-Thanksgiving meal marketing event, what meal policy applies?

• A. Light snacks allowed; Thanksgiving style meal prohibited
• B. Thanksgiving style meal allowed
• C. No meals allowed
• D. Only beverages allowed

Answer: (A)

Light refreshments are allowed at in-person marketing events, but full meals are not. That means a November pre-Thanksgiving event can offer snacks and drinks, but serving a Thanksgiving-style meal would cross the line into a meal and isn’t permitted. This rule exists to keep events informational and avoid any appearance of inducement. So the option that allows light snacks while prohibiting a Thanksgiving-style meal is the correct fit. You could offer things like cookies, fruit, coffee, tea, or water—simple, non-entertainment refreshments. The other choices would either imply no meals at all or permit a full meal, which doesn’t align with the standard guidelines for marketing events.
