The emails have gone out to the winners of the Sandy Candy Giveaway so if you entered, check your email! Make sure emails from candyaddict.com aren’t flagged as spam. It will seem spammy since it has phrases about you winning and asking for your address. We ended up giving 13 prize packs to 48 entrants – so more than 25% of those that entered won! Those are some good odds.

Today, March 26, is my birthday. I won’t tell you how old I am but I don’t feel nearly as old as my driver’s license claims. To celebrate, I am giving you some candy. Two lucky readers get a package full of candy each. Candy companies have been sending us so much candy, I have to give away the extras or I’d be toothless and as big as a house.
So, to enter, you must be a registered Candy Addict user. Login, and post a comment on this post and wish me a happy birthday. That’s it. The best birthday wish will win a package full of good candy and a Candy Addict t-shirt. I’ll also choose a random comment to win a package full of candy (no t-shirt though).
Entries are only accepted for the 24 hours of March 26 (EST). Sorry, only open to residents of the United States (shipping is expensive).
UPDATE: Entries are no longer being accepted. Comment #66 was the last one to make the cut.
UPDATE #2: The winner was oakling for the ASCII art – I’m an old school computer geek at heart. The other winner was jessleighj

Good news Candy Addicts! Our friends over at Wrigley are showing the holiday spirit and want to share some of their great products with Candy Addict readers! We’ve decided to have a Wrigley Trivia Contest to determine who gets the free goods!
There will be 5 winners, each will receive 3 Wrigley Heritage Tins (Juicy Fruit, Doublemint and Spearmint) and 3 Life Savers Orn-o-mints (in red, green and blue). The first person to submit the correct answers will win one prize pack and the other four winners will be randomly chosen from all correct winners.
Here are the details on the prizes:
Wrigley’s Heritage Tins are decorated as your favorite Wrigley’s flavor, Doublemint(r), Spearmint(r) or Juicy Fruit(r) and contain (12) five-stick packs of gum; four of each of these well loved brands. The vintage inspired tins fit wonderfully in a stocking or add flavor to any holiday coffee table or countertop. Post holidays when the gum has been chewed, the tins can be re-used to organize and store small household or office items.
Life Savers Orn-o-Mints are the perfect holiday gift or entertaining accent and are filled with iconic Life Savers candy. When decorating a tree or your home for the holiday, Life Savers Orn-o-Mints are a perfect compliment. Available in three colors, blue, red and green, the ball shaped “orn-o-mints” are a fun edition to any holiday setting. They can also be used to spice up any holiday gift when tucked next to a gift tag.
