Actors Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have been capitalizing off of their well-natured faux feud for ages, and have finally decided to escalate the fighting through a charity sales competition alongside retailer Sam's Club.
From now until December 20th, fans can show their allyship to the actor of their choosing by making a purchase through Sam's Club. Buying Jackman's Laughing Man Coffee or Reynolds’ Aviation Gin will count as a "vote" toward the favorite actor. With each purchase, Sam's club will make a donation to the actors' respective charity, which includes Jackman's Laughing Man Foundation and Reynold's SickKids Foundation. To make things even more dramatic, the two have created a site dedicated to their fight titled 'The Feud.'
