Chocalicious: Relief from the heat and the economy

Posted in humor on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 by Michael M Grant Tags: chocolate, coupon, humor
Jul 02

One of my daughters’ favorite books is Pinkalicious (as well as the sequel Purplelicious and the newly published Goldalicious). Well, in the flavor of Pinkalicious, I am here to offer you Chocolicious, which I am sure is just a month or two down the road from being published.

A few weeks ago, the Mars Chocolate company, makers of all things fine and chocolate and warm and comforting started a compaign for economic relief with free chocolate called Real Chocolate Relief Act.  Many of you know that there are two things I appreciate most: free and chocolate.  Many of you also know that I can be bribed with a bag of M & Ms.  So, this is no joke.  When it comes to chocolate, I’m as serious as a heart attack.

Each Friday until September, Mars will give away 250,000 coupons for a free full-sized candy bar/M & Ms. It’s real. I’m telling you it’s real. I’ve done it multiple times, and I have received my coupons.  Follow the link and get yours (or forward them directly on to me): https://secure.realchocolate.com/default.aspx

Just so you don’t think I’m quite nuts, Comsumerist.com and Inquisitr.com also talked about this awesome opportunity and the incredible number of folks trying to log on and get their free stuff.

    WOW, too little too late! This is often the story of my life. I am an extreme chocolate lover. This offer would have been a slice of paradise. However, I just recently learned of your website and this was the first that I had heard of the free chocolate offer. It is now September 28th, need I say more. I took a chance and went to the Mars website anyway and was unable to locate the “free” offer. Oh well, maybe next time. I thank you for the insight.

    Thanks Again,

    I wish I had known about this sooner! Like you, Dr. Grant, I LOVE chocolate and free stuff!!! What could be better?! What a nice gift in such a horrible economy! Almost everyone loves chocolate! Too bad I did not find out about this sooner! I hope everyone who knew of this opportunity took advantage of such a great offer! Dr. Grant, I am sure you enjoyed eating your chocolate! :) Next time you hear about such a great offer, please let me know! This is the first time I’ve ever visited your blog, but I will be sure to visit it more often. I’m looking forward to having you as our guest speaker in EDU 250 next Tuesday!!! See you then! Until then, take care!
