Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: Ugh, what a bungled offer. This is why you don’t announce upcoming freebies.

At 10am EST, you can sign up for a free Mediterranean snack on Facebook. It looks to be a chip or cracker of some sort. Further investigation is certainly needed. It shall be carried out in six to eight weeks during lunch.

This is certain go fast, so good luck.

EDIT: Looks like this is no more.

With all the Facebook offers lately (and yes, this free Nescafe Peppermint Mocha coffee falls into that category), I thought it’d be a good time to (A) remind folks to make a Facebook account only for freebies or (B) at the very least learn how to remove all the likes and app adds Facebook freebies require. Think of it as a Winter Cleaning, the online and lazy version of Spring Cleaning.

Here’s a coupon for a free small popcorn at AMC theaters valid from 12/2 through 12/4. You have to like them on Facebook in order to get the coupon, so this makes the 4th Facebook freebie I’ve posted in 48 hours. Is that a record? Sure, let’s just say it is.

EDIT: They’ve run out of samples.

The Hills Bros cappuccino offer is Facebook freebie #3 for today. It’s one of those tricky offers where they want you to send the freebie to a friend, so they have you enter your info and then enter your friend’s. I just entered my info on both pages. I’m pretty sure I owe all my friends at least $20 and I don’t want a silly freebie with my name on it reminding them to cash in.

If you’re still out shopping on Black Friday when the sun comes up, I think we all know what you need: Frozen sugar. That’s why you need to stop in for some free Dippin’ Dots from 5 to 10 am. Just take in this printable coupon and you’ll be set for at least another few hours of running through the mall.

EDIT: These ran out pretty much right after I posted them.

Is it just me or has there been a lot of coffee samples lately? Case in point: this free Cafe Escapes K-Cup coffee offer on Facebook. I have almost six years worth of freebie data sitting here in a database, so I’m sure I could plot all the freebies on a chart and cross reference the coffee versus non-coffee offers to see if there was a recent spike. But frst I would have to learn how to do all that, so for now let’s just stick to anecdotal evidence!

The giveaway page is loading extremely slow, so you might have to try a few times.

A few weeks ago, there was an offer for this free THiNQ energy drink. Now? Looks like we can get it all over again. And just in time for Black Friday too! That midnight opening shift at work isn’t looking too bad now…

If you’re working on Black Friday and have a Facebook account, then Seattle’s Best wants to give you free coffee. As for everybody else, we get a $2 coupon, which isn’t nearly as good as the freebie. You can’t even drink a coupon. I mean, you could try putting it in your coffeemaker, but I imagine it’d taste a little bland.

There’s yet another free Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cup offer out, this time from … Kohl’s?! Aight, if you say so. I can honestly say I didn’t see that one coming.

The campaign code is pywjrsmw.

The first 30,000 people to sign up on Facebook will receive free Oregon Chai tea. They’ll also be entered into a contest to win $10,000 and a tea bag the size of the Eiffel Tower. I’m not sure which one I’d rather have.
