    Yes, you are right, but apart from that, I don't see another way of saving the battery from being exhausted long before the bar is bought, other than by activating the device either upon buying or on opening.

    His post said: "...it must emit some form of electromagnetic radiation..."
    But according to the article, that radiation would only start after opening the wrapper.

    ...anyone would mod up what you just wrote, because it shows clearly that you didn't read the article:

    When a winning consumer opens the wrapper, it activates and notifies the prize team who promises to track them down within 24 hours

    Only when you open the wrapper does the GPS get activated.
