Betty Crocker

Cute little package for Easter. Get a miniature Trix bunny in a box. This is a 3 box package. The liner is the handle for Trix bunny's Easter basket that you make. There's two boxes of Easter sprinkles brownies in this set. The Trix bunny is like a teenie beanie. Found this item at Target for $5.99.

Blue Bunny Ice Cream

Get a Blue Bunny bean bag toy. Only $5.95 for this 7" plush toy. Shipping and handling looks to be about $5 from what I've heard (I've not ordered so can't say for sure). Click here to order your own.

Broadpoint Communications

Click here to sign up for free long distance calls in the US. Listen to 10-15 second ads to get 2 minutes of talk time. Haven't tried it yet so I can't say much about this new service. You kind of have to judge how long you might want to talk and then listen to that amount of ads before making your call so this won't work for anything more than social calls. Any time left unused is not bankable and is lost.

Burger King

November, 2001 - December, 2001 Lord of the Rings:Fellowship of the Ring

19 toys that connect together in a ring. Looks like the ring goes in the center and activates the toy from the thin end. For Galadriel, this means she lights up in green versus the normal yellow. Anyhow, with 19 toys, it's doubtful I'll get them all, but who knows? I've got Sam, Merry, and Galadriel so far. All appear to be the non-replaceable battery operated type. All seem to have a "magic phrase" that is inside on the piece of paper that comes with it. You'll have to open the package to find out :). There's also an exclusive mail-in action figure that you can send for from Toy-Biz. You just need DCRT, 4 POPs, and original offer form completed. Offer expires 3/31/02.

Chik Fil A

At the Florida Mall, Chik Fil A is offering a cow antenna topper for $1 donation to the September 11th fund. For a $6 donation, you get a cow beanie and a sandwich. The cow beanies have team names for what I guess are the local teams. I didn't have any room to pack these babies back so didn't get one.

There is also a basketball game you can play for a chance to win the limited edition Bingo plush toy. You must be the high scorer on Monday at noon. Those scores are way too high already, but doesn't mean you can't try anyhow.

The brand Cracker Jacks has just recently been bought by Frito Lay and plans are in the works for better prizes. It's a good thing too since they don't taste as good as the competition.
