TailgateApproved.com – What a Lame Product

I just saw a Bud Light ad, TailGateApproved.com, for a case of beer with a SPEAKER in the box.  Why would you want a speaker in your case of beer, you ask?  Well, it’s simple, you can attach your MP3 player to the box and listen to music while you tailgate!

What do you think of this product?  I personally think it’s a pretty lame excuse for a beer product, but that’s just me.  I do drink beer, in fact, I drink Bud Light, but I find it tough to get into some of the promotions that beer companies put on.

I guess the Lizards from back in the day weren’t too bad, the What’s Up guys made me chuckle, but those things were promotions that I did not have to pay for.

It might not be as annoying as the advertisements for the Fox Farve Cam though, lol!

Greenlabelgear.com Codes on Mountain Dew Bottles

Breakthrough Artisits – Exclusive Collaborations – Limited-Edition Prizes

mt-dew-contestI love to blog about sweepstakes.  If you like to read about them, BUZZ us up by using the button at the top of this post.  It appears that one of my favorite sodas has another promotion going on.  Greenlabelgear.com is a promotion by Mountain Dew and has the web in a buzz.

You can get the codes for Greenlabelgear.com on Mountain Dew (20 oz. & 1 liters) bottles and on the bottom of the aluminum Green Label Art bottles.  The codes are a bit shorter than normal, making it much less of a pain to enter when you have a whole pile of them.  The promotion is as simple as all of the others.  Don’t be confused, since the caps are red, and try to enter them into your PepsiRockBand.com account, the codes will NOT work.  Here are 4 basics listed on the site:

  1. Collect codes from specially marked orange or red bottle caps on 20 oz. and 1-liter bottles of Mountain Dew products or from the bottom of Green Label Art aluminum bottles.
  2. Enter codes into your Green Label Gear account. Each code entered is good for one sweeps entry.
  3. Choose the number of entries you want to use toward each prize now or save your entries for later.
  4. Each sweeps entry qualifies you for a daily Grand Prize drawing. The Grand Prize includes all six Green Label Gear items. The more codes you enter, the better your chance to win.

This contest is a short one and is actually over on November 19th, 2009!  All that means is that you need to get your butt out and get those codes as fast as you can.  If you are addicted to Mountain Dew, like I am, this will not be that hard for you to do.

Let’s take a look at the prize list.

  • (40 total) Burton® Operator Snowboard (size158)
    Screenprint on wood with Infinite RideTM, Carbon I-BeamTM and Pressure Distribution Edges. Only one available size (size 158).

In the event your size is not available at the time of redemption, you will be awarded a $100.00 gift card good towards a purchase on adidas.com.

How To Play

We all know that playing these sweepstakes is simple, but I thought I would outline the steps that could lead you to a brand new Xbox system or even a round trip package to Harrah’s!  Basically, you will be purchasing a Pepsi item and under the cap will be a 12-digit code you can enter here.  You can get the codes from specially-marked 20-oz and 1-liter bottles of Pepsi, as well as, 32 and 44-oz fountain cups.

That would be the easiest way for anyone with computer/internet access to enter.  But that isn’t the only way to go.  You can also “Play-on-the-go”.  That’s right, everyone has a cell phone and most of them have web access.  All you have to do is text message your code to PEPSI (73774), register your mobile device and you are all set.  You can learn more about that here.

Remember that you can win INSTANTLY or enter your codes in the WEEKLY SWEEPS to win as well.  Here are the official rules so that you don’t make any mistakes or are misled.
