If you’re not tired of trying to win free candy (enter our giveaways here and here), head over to the Candy Dish Blog for a chance to win some more free candy. In all, there are about 50 items included in the package – and you have a chance to win one of three complete packages.
(Don’t tell anyone, but I am one of the “celebrity” judges!) Enter by April 7, 2009!
Fear not, fellow Candy Addicts. Candy Addict is still alive and kicking. It seems we have outgrown our current server and it’s now time to move hosts. I’ve had to change back to the default look and disable comments for now (comments are enabled on this post for now – til the spammers come). The plan is to find a new host, move the site, and have everything back to normal by Monday, February 23 (assuming all goes well – and it never does).
So, we’re not gone, just having some growing pains. We’ll be back in full soon. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: I (Brian) have had a minor medical emergency and it has incapacitated me for a few days – once I’m recovered I will get the site back up.
First, if you haven’t already, go enter our huge Candy Addict birthday giveaway. I’ll wait here for you to come back…
Wow – I can’t believe it! My candy-coated little baby is now three years old! What began as a website I started on a whim three years ago has grown into something bigger than I could have ever imagined. I’m amazed at how many other people there are out there, people like you, that love candy as much as I do.
There are so many things I could mention as I wax nostalgic… the amazing amount of free candy I’ve received; attending the All Candy Expo (twice); talking with the president of Jelly Belly and a V.P. at Mars (in person); being mentioned in newspapers, magazines, radio, and even appearing on national TV as a candy expert! It just blows my mind when I stop and think about it. I’m no different than many of you reading this, I’m just a guy who likes candy but I happen to have a candy website to prove it.
I was thinking about listing a bunch of interesting/noteworthy things that have happened to me and the site in the past three years (guess what site is #1 on google if you search for gross candy?) but I’m not sure that would interest anyone (maybe it would – Idunno). So here’s what we’re going to do instead…
Let’s do an interview. I’ll be the interviewee. You be the interviewer. Ask me any question you want about candy, candy blogging, running a website, things I’ve learned, etc. Pretend you’re interviewing me. You’re Katie Couric and you have me for a one-on-one interview. Pick my candy-filled brain. If there was ever a question about me or the site you have had, ask it now.
Put your question(s) in the comments below. Depending on how many questions I get, I’ll either answer all of them or if there are way too many, I’ll pick maybe the 20 or so best ones and answer them. The best question, as judged by me, will win a free Candy Addict t-shirt (and maybe some candy too). This is open to people anywhere in the world – I’ll pay for shipping.
UPDATE: No more entries are being accepted!
October 3rd will be Candy Addict’s 3rd birthday! Three years of Candy Addict! To celebrate, you, our loyal reader, get a chance to win candy presents! I have loads and loads of candy and prizes to give away to three lucky readers (and maybe more).
A small sampling of the candy that will be given away:
and the list goes on and on and on and on.
“Brian”, you might say. “How can I win this wonderful candy goodness?” Easy, my dear Candy Addict… make sure you’re a registered Candy Addict then login and leave a birthday wish in the comments on this post and mention your favorite candy and/or favorite page on Candy Addict. You have til midnight (EST) Sunday night, October 5th, to leave the birthday comment – only leave one please – be fair. I’ll pick three people (the best comment and a few random ones) to win big candy prize packs. Be sure and use an email address that you actually check and make sure you can receive email from candyaddict.com in case you win.
Good luck!
