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.

Remember sand art? Bottles and shapes filled with layers of colored sand? It always looked good enough to eat… and now you can with Sandy Candy aka Edible Sand Candy. Our friends over at Sandy Candy want to share their fun and tasty Sandy Candy with Candy Addict readers so they have donated 12 (yes, twelve) Mega Paks of Sandy Candy (each a $50 value) for us to give away!

That’s enough Sandy Candy to have a great birthday party activity!
So, what do you have to do to get yourself a free Sandy Candy Mega Pak? This one’s easy… just compose an original poem about Sandy Candy and submit it as a comment on this post. Make it cute, funny, sad, or whatever you want (it doesn’t have to rhyme either - haikus are okay too). The 10 best Sandy Candy poem authors will receive a Sandy Candy Mega Pak. For those with less than stellar poetic skills, we’ll give two Mega Paks away to two random entrants - so enter even if you can’t figure out what ryhmes with “orange”. Be sure and use a real email address you check regularly so we can contact you if you win.
Contest ends May 8, 2008.

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.
The sixth season of Fox’s popular reality series American Idol is under way, and Pop Rocks is coming along for the ride. Pop Rocks is launching a new song contest: I Want to be a Pop Rocks Star. Kids enter by writing a song about their favorite crackling, popping candy and must send it in along with two proofs of purchase. Apparently, winners will be chosen at random from the pool of all entries, and details about prizes are still sketchy so early into the year.
If you know a young person who’s brimming with musical pride over carbonated candy, tell them to keep an eye out for this contest. Who knows? Maybe they’ll end up as Pop Rocks’ own American Idol, hopefully without having to hear any dream-crushing insults from Simon Cowell.

Wanna win some cool prizes from Butterfinger? Do you have a video camera? All you have to do is create a video that portrays how to use Butterfinger, and its ubiquitous “Finger” icon, to make the most of life’s most mundane moments.
The prizes are pretty sweet too (no pun intended):
The rules are simple:
Entries will be judged as follows:
The top 10 videos will be feature at FollowTheFinger.com and visitors can then vote for their favorite. You can see all the current entries at the YouTube page and if I read things correctly, there are only 9 entries currently - that’s some pretty good odds that you can at least be a finalist and win a video camera! I’m tempted to submit one myself! In fact, I have an extra brand new FollowTheFinger” tshirt - first person to submit a video to the contest that says “candyaddict.com” in it (visually) will get the tshirt. Just contact me and give me the link to the video on YouTube.

Concealed within 100 Kit Kat bars is Golden Ticket that is worth a chance at a spot on Big Brother. The actual participant will be choosen from that pool of 100 golden ticket winners. The contest runs from May 18th at 10:30 until June 2nd at 10:20 pm. So all our UK readers should head to one of the 40,000 participating retail locations and stock up on KitKats.
Much like in the movie, Willy Wonka is having a contest where you must purchase Wonka candy in a quest for a golden ticket. Instead of winning a factory full of Oompa Lompas however, you can win $25,000 “salary” and what may be an even cooler prize, the chance to design your very own Wonka candy bar which will be available for sale for a limited time only. 100 First Place runners-up will win a Wonka MP3 player, and 1,000,001 2nd place runners-up will win some free candy. Prize winners will be announced in early 2007.
The press release also mentions a summer event where Wonka will unveil his newest creations at Dylan’s Candy Bar in New York City. Hopefully I’ll be working in the city that day and can dash over on my lunch break to snap some pics, and get an early taste of the newest creations. No date is listed however, so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for that.

According to The Smoking Gun,
A Kentucky woman who thought she won $100,000 in a radio station giveaway is suing for breach of contract after learning that her prize was actually a Nestle’s 100 Grand candy bar.

Now she is suing the radio station for her $100,000. Reminds me of the Hooters waitress who won a “Toy Yoda” not a Toyota.
