Here’s a giveaway for you football fans!

January 12, 2009 by Deb  
Filed under Giveaways, food item

My husband is the biggest NFL football fan I’ve ever met. Now while his beloved Detroit Lions aren’t exactly in the playoffs this year (anything but!), he still has his likes and dislikes and watches every playoff game intently. And then of course, there’s the big event of the winter – the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl parties have grown to become so much more than just a group of friends getting together to watch the game. There are the snacks, the ads, the chance to hang out with friends… I know that it’s one football game that I actually do enjoy watching, and I’m not even usually a football fan. There’s just something about having some excitement going on when it’s so cold and blah outside, I think.  :)

Over the years, my hubby and I have gone to friends’ houses to watch the Super Bowl, or invited friends over here to watch it with us. Last year we watched by ourselves – which is also what’s likely to happen again this year, since he’s injured and not able to move around very much.

So while we won’t be partying it up this year, I do have the opportunity to help one of you throw an awesome Super Bowl party, thanks to Pepsi!

Pepsi has updated their look, and their logo for 2009 – and they have a fun new website at RefreshEverything.com, where you have a chance to upload a video to include on the site, essentially an open letter to the new President – who’s about to ‘refresh’ America.

So whether you are a diehard NFL fan or just want to party, Pepsi would like to offer you the chance to win an Ultimate Super Bowl Party Pack (valued at $250) for your own at-home viewing party!

The Ultimate Pepsi Super Bowl Party Pack includes:

  • 1 football
  • 1 beverage pail
  • 1 snack helmet
  • 2 key chains
  • 2 hats
  • 2 t-shirts
  • 5 Pepsi 24 pack coupons
  • 5 Frito Lay coupons

That’s everything you need for a fun-filled get together for the big game!  If you’d like to win this amazing Party Pack for your own Super Bowl event, here are the rules:

  1. Enter by leaving a comment here to let me know what your Super Bowl viewing plans are this year. Please don’t just say ‘choose me’, or your entry will be discarded.
  2. The contest will run until Friday, January 23rd at 11:59 pm EST. The winner will be selected through random drawing, contacted by e-mail, listed on this post and also submitted to PRIZEY.Fetch. US entries only, please.
  3. Please leave a valid e-mail address or other way to contact you! If you don’t wish to leave your e-mail address, please make sure that you leave a unique name and check back with PRIZEYWinners to see if you won. If the winner hasn’t responded within 3 days, an alternate winner will be chosen by random drawing.
  4. If you’d like extra entries, you can:
  • Visit the Pepsi RefreshEverything site, watch a video or two and leave a separate comment to tell me about one of the videos you saw (or upload your own even!).
  • Subscribe to my RSS feed (click on the orange icon in the upper right sidebar) or subscribe via e-mail – leave me a separate comment to let me know.
  • Mention this contest on your blog with a link back to this post, and leave a separate comment with the link to your post so I can find it.
  • Either Twitter about, ‘Stumble’, ‘Digg’ or ‘Kirtsy’ this post – leave me a separate comment with your username at whichever site(s) you chose (one extra entry per method).

So that’s a total of 8 comments/entries if you do all of the extra entry options.

Good luck!  :)

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED – wow! There are a lot of Super Bowl partying people out there – almost 600 entries for this one! I had such fun reading all of the comments (yes, I do read them all) and it’s really interesting to see the spread of people’s plans, from watching quietly at home, hosting a party or going out and partying it up.  Whether you win or not, I hope you have a great Super Bowl night!

So on to the winner…  The random number generator has chosen comment #364 as the winner:
