The Scoop on That One Contest, Week 2 (Contest/Giveaway)

June 7, 2009

“Ice cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn’t illegal.” ~Voltaire

ice cream bowlSeriously. If Voltaire’s wish was granted, I’d be in a lot of trouble. Or maybe even in jail. Maybe they’d serve ice cream in jail though. It would totally be worth adding a year or two onto my sentence for the right ice cream… mmmm.

What’s that? Oh, yes, sorry – I was daydreaming. You don’t really blame me, do you? I’m willing to bet it took you a second to get past your own mental image of the perfect ice cream to read further. (If it didn’t, you have super-human strength. Did you see that picture?)

Anyhoo. It’s time for the 2nd of 4 posts I’m going to make this month that will result in one of you winning FREE Blue Bunny® Ice Cream for a whole year.

The Prize

Each of four winners will receive a shipment of one carton of Blue Bunny® ice cream and one Blue Bunny® novelty pack each month for a calendar year. You’ll receive a menu of Blue Bunny® ice cream and novelties every month, and have the opportunity to choose the carton and novelty that you’d like to receive. Each winner will also get a Welcome Kit complete with spoons, bowls and an ice scream scoop to get them ready! The prize value is $97.80 per winner. Sorry, only one winner per household – we want to spread the joy around!

The Contest Details

You will have the opportunity to enter your name & a valid email address using the form below. If you don’t win this week, your name will still be submitted for the remaining drawings. So if you entered last week, but didn’t win? You can have up to 4 entries for the last drawing!! (Assuming you haven’t already won!) If this is your first week, you can still have up to 3.  See last week’s description of the rules for further information (or feel free to email me if you’re still confused!)

How Winners Are Chosen

Each week’s drawing closes at Sunday 11:59pm ET and the winner that week will be chosen from all valid entries submitted according to the method listed above. The winner for each drawing will be selected at random using a number generated from Random.org based on the total number of valid entries received between the start of the contest on June 1st and the date of the drawing. Winners will be notified via email and will have until the next drawing to reply. In the event that a winner does not reply within the time given, or the email is returned as undeliverable, a replacement winner will be drawn using the same method. Duplicate or multiple entries for the same week will be deleted. Winner must be legal resident of one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia, and supply an address where s/he can receive an over-nighted package of ice cream/novelty on dry ice – unfortunately, this means no P.O. Boxes will be accepted.

So the dates work out like this:

  • 1st drawing — now closed winner drawn & notified Monday June 8th
  • This drawing — open Monday June 8th thru Sunday June 14th – winner drawn Monday June 15th
  • 3rd drawing — open Monday June 15th thru Sunday June 21st – winner drawn Monday June 22nd
  • 4th drawing — open Monday June 22nd thru Sunday June 28th – winner drawn Monday June 29th

So now that I’m all drooly and day-dreamy… I thought I’d share with you that there’s also an option for those of us watching our caloric intake and yet still in love with le glaceau.  Blue Bunny has a Premium Light option that has 1/2 the fat and 30% fewer calories than its regular version.  I’m putting it on my shopping list for tomorrow.  Because now, I’m even more jealous of you guys than I was last week.

In the interest of full disclosure? I am being compensated for holding this contest (this is a lot of work dude!) but I don’t get the ice cream – so I really am jealous!! But very happy for the four winners. I just have to buy my own 100 Calorie Bars.

I’m sending the email now to Week One’s winner as drawn by Random.org – if it’s not you? Then you’ve still got 3 more chances (including this one) to enter and possibly win!  Good Luck!!

Week 2 is now closed.

    Ice cream? Nothing sounds finer, especially right now, since I’m on the colonoscopy prep liquid diet. (Sorry about the TMI, it’s all I can think about.)

  29. Jacob LaFountaine on June 9th, 2009 6:13 pm

    I better win this week or they’ll keep me caged up for another

  30. barbara wright on June 9th, 2009 9:24 pm

    Blue Bunny is one of our favorites anyway, but I really like it these days because it’s still holding out by being 1.75 liters- or whatever the measurement term is, instead of 1.5 like the rest of them are going.

  31. JoeyfromSC on June 9th, 2009 9:25 pm

    I’d love to win this ice cream!! Blue Bunny is my favorite actually!

    I enjoy your blog and your sense of humor..Thanks for a great contest!

  32. Tawnda Magargal on June 10th, 2009 7:25 am

    fingers crossed!
    btw… entry form said week 1… that’s just an oversight right?

  33. Laura on June 10th, 2009 7:29 am

    Blue Bunny is the only ice cream that goes above and beyond all the other popular brands. It never has that foaminess that some have and there flavorings are to die for……….I have never been disappointed in any flavor that I have every brought home. Their Champ cones are a gourmet delight also….each bite of those, between the crunchies and the chocolatey coating is to be savored. Mmmm…

  34. Carol on June 11th, 2009 8:33 am

    I soooo want to win this!

  35. Teresa L on June 11th, 2009 7:39 pm
