Pick Your Pause

I work in the social media field. It's a pretty fun job if you ask me. Recently we've been trying out different contests and promotions to hold via Facebook and Twitter. While researching other companies, I came across Mars Chocolate's Twix page. They're currently holding a contest and promoting it through Facebook. It's called Pick Your Pause. Basically, when you purchase a Twix bar, there is a code you can enter online. This will give you the chance to "spin" their wheel. There are different prizes including the chance to win $50,000 and plenty of "sorry, you're a loser" messages. If you're a first-timer you get one free spin without needing a code. So, I played and miraculously I won a free Twix! This was back in the beginning of July. I received a message saying they would mail me a coupon for a free Twix bar:

Woohoo! I get to choose from an original Twix or their peanut butter Twix bar. Here's the back:

Don't you just love seeing those big bold letters, "FREE?" The coupon is very fun looking. On a graphic designer's note, I do wish they made their own distressed marks on the fonts. If you can't read the fine print, it says, "Hey, retailer! This person won a Pick Your Pause Prize and gets to pick a TWIX Caramel Cookie Bar or TWIX Peanut Butter Cookie Bar for FREE." On a side note, there goes my diet for the day. This contest ends on 12/30/11 so you still have some time to play!
