Fans of Gummy Bears candy will not want to miss out on this sweepstakes! Someone is going to win a Gummy Army and a $500 gift card from Amazon.com. Sorry, kids, you must be 18 or older to enter this sweepstakes.
Gummy Bears are a treat that people tend to eat while watching a movie in a theater. The colorful, sweet, chewy candy is a favorite of both children and adults. You can get gummy candy in a variety of shapes, including worms and army men, but nothing is quite like a gummy bear.
Parents who aren’t so keen with the idea of their child consuming the amount of sugar found in the gummy bear candies have an alternative. There is now a gummy bear candy that is sweetened with xylitol instead of sugar. It is my understanding that this is supposed to fight cavities. I’ve no idea what those type of gummy bears taste like, and cannot advise on how they compare to the real thing.
The gummy bears that you can win from Amazon are the regular kind, (not the type with xylitol). To enter the “Gummy Army Sweepstakes” you must click “like” on Amazon’s Facebook page. Next, fill in your name, email address, and phone number. Winners will be informed by phone.
You also must click a box next to the sentence: “I confirm that I am 18 or over and a US resident”. I think it was smart of Amazon to exclude children from entering the sweepstakes entirely on their own. Facebook did not intend children to make their own accounts, but, some parents have allowed their children to make one anyway.
The sweepstakes will end on August 19, 2012. There will be only one grand prize winner. He or she will receive a 5 pound bag of Albanese 12 Flavor Assorted Gummi Bears, and one 1.5 pound bag of Albanese Gummi Green Army Men. This is probably how the sweepstakes got the name “Gummy Army”. The winner will also receive one Giant Gummy Bear that is green, sour apple flavor, and that weighs five pounds. How long will it take you to eat a five pound gummy bear?
In addition to the candy listed above, the winner will also receive a $500.00 Amazon.com Gift Card. You can use the gift card to buy whatever you want to from the Amazon.com website. Yes, that includes more packages of Gummy Bears, if you so desire.
