Here's what's up for grabs:
- Two sets of 3 coupons for a free small Peppermint Mocha and 3 coupons for a free new small French Vanilla Latte (a total of 6 coupons per set, or basically enough to get your morning coffee for a week). The coupons expire on February 1, 2013, because the Peppermint Mocha will be probably be off menu by then.
To enter: Let me know what you'd like to see more of on Brand Eating in the upcoming year or you can say you're just here for the prize (that's okay too!). Only one comment per person please and the contest is only open to residents of the U.S. ages 18 and older. Please be sure to include your email address in the "email" field (and not in the comment section... you don't want spam!) as I will be contacting the winners via email.
The giveaway drawing will close this Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 11:00pm Pacific Standard Time. Shortly after, I'll compile the entries and use a random number generator to choose two winners, who will each receive a total of 6 coupons (provided by McDonald's) for the aforementioned drinks via mail (I might be a little late in sending since it's the holidays and all). The winners will have 3 days to respond to my email. Should that time lapse, I will go ahead and use the random number generator to choose a new winner.
I'll post the winner here on Friday, so be sure to check back then. Good luck everyone!
Winners:
Congrats to Sherry and rachel! I'll be in touch shortly to arrange delivery.
Thank you everyone for the kind comments and suggestions.
Contests! :) Also, reviews are great
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see some sort of review scale (stars, thumbs-ups, etc), and also a hall of fame for the best items you've reviewed. Love the site, though! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteId like to see fast food reviews vs the advertisements!
ReplyDeleteP.S is it thursday dec 20 or wednesday dec 19
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your website as is - keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see more reviews of frozen foods.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to see a rating scale, possibly a 1-5 ranking.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a few reviews that compare similar menu items from different fast food places to find out which is best? You know, McDonald's smoothie vs BK smoothie, a comparison of fries or shakes from the different chains, Big Mac vs Bonus Jack, Pizza Hut vs Papa John's, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see slightly more detailed reviews! Maybe rate restaurants over their overall menu selections.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see more cereal reviews!
ReplyDeleteId like to see more restaurant plate reviews...like new plates at certain chain restaurants! But over all I love this website and you do a great job running it!
ReplyDeletei would like to read reviews from Fazoli's. Are they not in your area?
ReplyDeleteGreat fun reading about what I usually end up eating!
ReplyDeleteHow about more side by side comparisons for the copycat sandwiches :
Big Carl vs Big Mac etc?
If it is possible I would like to see reviews of local/regional chains. For instance, Penguin Point is a favorite of mine. They have about 13 locations, but all in a relatively small geographical area in Northern Indiana. www.penguinpoint.com
ReplyDeleteThere must be a lot of smaller chains like this across America and it would be interesting to know about them while travelling.
I enjoy the site the way it is - especially the "Around the World" features!
ReplyDeleteI just had a trader joes open near by so I would love to see some more trader joes reviews.
ReplyDeleteYippee. I'd like more Trader Joes reviews. Unfortunately, TJs is not in my area, but I always try to find one on the road.
ReplyDeleteI'd be down with some Whole Foods reviews!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the reviews! I've tried a lot of new restaurants and foods because I saw them here! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely like to see some in-depth breakdowns comparing similar items in the same category from different restaurants.
ReplyDeleteKeep doing what you're doing, I think you're doing a great job! I would like to see some tropical smoothie reviews and maybe some Jason's Deli (if you have any out on the Pacific Coast), and maybe more freebies
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see more free stuff given away. Word up!
ReplyDeletesites great, more give aways would also be great tho ;) !!
ReplyDeleteWhile I like all elements of the website, I definitely prefer the fast food reviews the most. I would definitely like to see more of those, especially of newly released or harder to find items.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I've never seen a Fazoli's before. I've only heard of it through writing this blog.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one Jason's Deli in California, but it's like 50 minutes away =(
ReplyDeleteThursday, Dec. 20. Sorry, I corrected the date.
ReplyDeleteGreat site as is. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the site is already. More fast casual like Panera bread would be cool, though.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see more reviews from sit-down or fast-casual type of restaurants. I do like the frozen foods and fast food reviews too!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see more comparisons between products, within the same brand (like all McD's hamburgers) and across brands ( like McD's sundaes versus BK's). In addition to taste, one component of the review could be value. Which item offers the best combo of taste, size, and price.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see more restaurant reviews!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the site, so I can't offer many suggestions, but I like what I've seen so far.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a face off against other grocery store foods and fast food. More deals featuring sit down restaurants. I would like to see healthy food featured more often other than microwave meals and sub places. I think it would be cool to see contests where Brand Eating fans have to make and do stuff at the restaurants you feature.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a guest review from the resident crazy guy on here. Also, more giveaways :)
ReplyDeleteLove giveaways, but you can only have those when you can have em :) I wouldn't mind seeing more grocery store finds or food comparisons/battles.
ReplyDeletei think there should be requests reviews.
ReplyDeleteanother thing is reviews from local places. sure everyone wont get to go there but they can check out interesting stuff
I'm all about the free coffee!
ReplyDeleteI'm such a coffee fanatic, thanks for having this giveaway! =]
ReplyDeleteMORE SOUP!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the news and varied reviews. Please keep informing us of the new seasonal/promotional items at various national chains.
ReplyDeleteMore fast food reviews please! I realize I might be endangering your health a bit with that request but I found you because of them and I keep coming back for it as well. I like the junk/frozen food stuff but most of the time, I don't eat that sort of stuff so it's hard for me to relate and even though I'm not the biggest fast food eater, I do get it occasionally... And the rest of the time, I live vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteI checked, and there is only 1 Fazoli's in California (in Chino Hills). They should expand :)
ReplyDeleteI actually enjoy the site the way it is :D maybe have more than 1 review per day (eg review of a burger and a coffee drink the same day)
ReplyDeleteMaybe more reviews and news from casual dining chains?
ReplyDeleteMore around the world items! Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI happened on this site about a month ago, and added it to my Twitter feed. I look forward to seeing that BE logo more than just about any of the other feeds I'm subscribed to. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI would be really interested in reading more about test market items or concepts from the major restaurants.
ReplyDeletei'm here for the prize
ReplyDeletejk i hate coffee!
ReplyDeleteI like to see more giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI would love to read more about in store items!
ReplyDeletehere for the prize. but I did see that someone mentioned trader joe reviews and I would love this too. big shopper at tj but it's always a hit or miss with me.
