For those following my ongoing saga as a contest entrant in Stride Gum’s “Rename the gum” contest, you know that I would eventually receive a box of gum packaged with my proposed name, Permamint. This finally arrived yesterday: one box of 12 packs of 14 pieces of Permamint gum. Woot!
I’m debating if I want save a pack for posterity. It seems weird — saving a pack of gum. We already opened one because Ryan can’t stay away from gum — “I think they added extra mint!” he said in approval. (I don’t think there was actually any formula change from Nonstop Mint to my custom Permamint.)
Anyway, it feels like a good year for my contest efforts. A dozen packs of gum and a dozen copies of a Small World expansion (plus $150) — oh, I also won a $30 gift certificate to an online retailer of my choice, from a little giveaway contest someone ran over on BGG.
Maybe I need to buy more lottery tickets this year…
