  • Giveaway – $20 Gift Card to Cinnabon, Two Winners

    Sunday, February 21st, 2010

    Cinnabon celebrates 25 years with a sweet new addition to its bakeries’ lineup: CUPCAKES! After 25 years of making the ooiest, gooiest cinnamon rolls, Cinnabon is kicking off the next 25 years by introducing the world’s best cupcake! They brought back the creator of the famous Classic Cinnamon Roll to develop the new cupcake product line. And, after testing 556 different recipes, each one containing the same secret ingredient, Cinnabon has created a high quality cupcake worthy of the Cinnabon name. Baked fresh daily, they’re perfect for parties, gifts or any time you need to put a little frosting on your day. If you haven’t seen Cinnabon Cupcakes just yet, they should be near you soon. So, contact your local bakeries to find out when you can treat your loved ones and yourself to baked cupcake deliciousness!

    When I got the email about hosting this giveaway, I was offered a $20 Cinnabon gift card so I could try the new cupcakes. Sadly for me, the closest Cinnabon is 58 miles away, so I asked if I could give away two gift cards instead. Which means, I’m not getting any compensation at all for hosting this giveaway, just so you know. I’m hosting this giveaway because I am POSITIVE that I have readers who want to win a $20 gift card to Cinnabon! Now, feast your eyes and try not to drool on your keyboards, here’s an image from the Cinnabon site of the new cupcakes with a photo and description of each….

  • The day I tasted Tofurky and Gravy Jones Soda

    Saturday, November 28th, 2009

    This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Jones Soda. All opinions are 100% mine.

    That’s right, I tasted Tofurky and Gravy Jones Soda and lived to tell the tale. Jones Soda is a line of brightly colored, uniquely flavored sodas known for using fan-submitted photos on their bottle labels, and for putting out “theme” soda lines around the holidays. Their Holiday Packs in past years have included flavors like Mashed Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, and Turkey and Gravy.

    This year, Jones gave a nod to vegetarians and vegans and created Tofurky and Gravy soda for the holidays. Tofurky is a brand name of a product made with wheat gluten and tofu, and then molded into a turkey shape. IZEA sent me a Postie Pack containing a bottle of the soda and a totally awesome turkey hat, and asked those of us doing this campaign to taste the soda and post about it. I had NO idea what I expected it to taste like, I was expecting something like liquid gravy flavor.

    Nathan’s friend Forrest happened to be over on Wednesday, and he eats some vegetarian foods, so he said he wanted to try the Tofurky and Gravy soda. I cracked open the bottle and handed it to him.  I stood there with the camera ready to catch his reaction as he took a sip….

    And much to my surprise, he swallowed and said, “IT”S REALLY GOOD!”

    So I took the bottle from him and took a sip of my own. And much to MY surprise, it tasted okay! It tasted like 7-Up with caramel syrup mixed in, seriously!  I can’t say I would buy it and drink it on purpose, but if you’re curious about trying it, I can honestly say it doesn’t taste like turkey-flavored meat substitute like you might expect. Pick some up and try it yourself!
