Wrigley Trivia Contest – win free gum and mints!

Wednesday, December 19, 2007 - by Brian

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.

Ok, you’re ready to find out how to enter and win, right? First, make sure you are a registered Candy Addict (this helps weed out the spammers and the Candy Addict poseurs). Now, take the trivia quiz and you should get 7 answers.

Send an email to:
DELETED with a subject of Wrigley Trivia Entry. In the body of the email, send the 7 character string that represents your answers. For example, if you think all the answers to the questions are “a” you would send aaaaaaa to us. Also in the email, include your Candy Addict username and the email address you used to register. So, an example entry from me might look like:
aaaaaaa

You MUST follow these instructions to the letter – I will set up a filter that tosses any entry that doesn’t follow these instructions, so you could fail to be entered to win even if you have the right answers.
