Don’t forget, this month’s Chocolate Bytes contest for the custom theobromine t-shirt ends tonight at 11:59pm PST! If you’ve been putting it off now’s the time to do it!

Remember, you must share an awful pick-up line in the comments and/or link to the contest from your own weblog to enter! Submissions that don’t do either won’t go into the hat to be drawn!

It’s a Chocolate Bytes contest!

What you need to do:

~ In honor of Valentine’s Day, comment here with the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard (or heard of). The line doesn’t have to have been used on you – it can be something that happened to a friend or even just one you read about. That’s it! The contest will run until February 11, 11:59pm PST.

As usual, there are two ways to enter:

Get two submissions to win: Leave a comment here telling us the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard. Then link to this contest from your own site or weblog and include that URL with your submission and you now have two chances to win!

OR

Get one submission to win: Pick one or the other above – leave a comment telling us the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard or just link to the contest from your own weblog (I need to be able to see it though, so make sure it’s not a locked or friends-only entry.)

What you could win:

My generous friends at YellowIbis.com have once again donated a theobromine t-shirt! They’ve even custom tweaked it for Valentine’s Day with the molecule surrounded by a heart. Perfect! This t-shirt is also available for sale, so if you don’t want to wait for the contest to end head over and pick one up for yourself!

Click below for more info!

~ Make sure you leave a valid email address with your comment (it will not be displayed) so I can contact you in a timely manner if you win.

~ A name will then be drawn from the eligible submissions on February 12 using the super technical method of pieces of paper in a hat, and the winner will be notified by email and announced here on the site. The winner will then need to send me their mailing address to have the t-shirt sent to, so if you’re not comfortable with that then please don’t enter (though it will never be used for anything else).

~ The contest is open to residents that live in countries that the YellowIbis US Shop ships to (United States, Canada, Mexico, “Central, West, North” Europe, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, China, South Korea). Delivery by Valentine’s Day is not guaranteed!

Disclaimers
- If you win you’ll need to provide my with the t-shirt size you’d like. You don’t get a choice on which molecule you’d like, though – this is a chocolate site, you’re stuck with the chocolate!

- If you pick the wrong size and wish to exchange it the responsibility is yours: ChocolateBytes.com will not pay for shipping back to the store and then back again to you.

Good luck!!

Well, here it is! Sara at YellowIbis.com contacted me last night and offered up another theobromine t-shirt for a second winner! Thank you, Sara!

How cute is that?? If you don’t care for that particular style Sara said they’ll be able to work with the winner on something else.

So, head over to the contest entry if you haven’t already and enter! All you have to do is share one chocolate or chocolate product you’re thankful for for one entry. For two entries, leave an entry and mention the contest in your own weblog. That’s it! Go, go!

Out of the two previous contests I was surprised to find that folks seemed to prefer the theobromine molecule t-shirt over the actual chocolate! So, that’s what I’m offering up again!

What you need to do:

~ Comment here with a chocolate or chocolate product you’re thankful for! That’s it!

As always, there are two ways to enter:

Get two submissions to win: Leave a comment here telling us a chocolate or chocolate product that you’re thankful for. Then link to this contest from your own site or weblog and include the URL to the entry with your submission and you now have two chances to win!

OR

Get one submission to win: Pick one or the other above – leave a comment telling us what you’re thankful for or just link to the contest from your own weblog (I need to be able to see it though, so make sure it’s not a locked or friends-only entry.)

Make sure you leave a valid email address with your comment (will not be displayed) so I can contact you in a timely manner if you win.

The contest will run until November 30 at 11:59pm Pacific. A name will then be drawn from the eligible submissions on December 1 using the super technical method of pieces of paper in a hat, and the winner will be notified by email and announced here on the site. The winner will then need to send me their mailing address to have the t-shirt sent to, so if you’re not comfortable with that then please don’t enter (though it will never be used for anything else).

This is open to residents of the continental U.S. and Canada only.

If you’re in the US: You can choose between the ThinkGeek style (women’s style, pink on brown) or the Moleculewear styles (regular or girlie style, green on black).

If you’re in Canada: Your shirt will be coming from Moleculewear because they have excellent shipping rates. You can pick the regular or the girlie style, and the colors are green on black.

Disclaimers
- If you win you’ll need to provide my with the t-shirt size you’d like. You don’t get a choice on which molecule you’d like, though – this is a chocolate site, you’re stuck with chocolate!

- If you pick the wrong size and wish to exchange it the responsibility is yours: I will not pay for shipping back to the store and then back again to you.

- You are responsible for any applicable taxes.

- I am not responsible for printing mess-ups, shipment re-scheduling, or laundry mishaps.

Good luck!!

In the last contest update every entry was assigned a number. If you had two entries your number went in twice.

All the kids in the pool!

And the winner is:

Lucky #7! Congratulations, Anastasia! I’ll be emailing you shortly for your mailing address, style and size preferences.

Everyone else, thank you so much for entering and keep an eye out for September’s contest!

Post from: Chocolate Bytes

I’ve gone through and tallied up everyone who has entered so far, and to make sure I’ve gotten everyone’s submissions I’ve listed them under the cut so you can double check yours. Let me know if you find a discrepancy. 1 entry submissions are for finding unique/bizarre chocolate items online OR linking to the contest in your own weblog. 2 entry submissions are for doing both.

Remember, the contest goes until 11:59pm August 31 (this Friday). I’ll update the list as/if more people enter:

>>>

1. Sherry = 2 entries
2. Alicia = 1 entry
3. madelah Jenn = 1 entry
4. Mar = 2 entries
5. Carrie = 2 entries
6. Arabelladonn = 1 entry
7. Anastasia = 2 entries
8. Marye = 1 entry
9. Kate B = 2 entries
10. KD Griffin = 1 entry
11. Melanie = 2 entries
12. Jade = 2 entries
13. Offbeat Jennifer = 2 entries
14. Julie = 1 entry
15. John = 2 entries
16. Darlene = 1 entry
17. Foodie Tracey = 1 entry
18. Ginny = 2 entries
19. Lace = 2 entries
20. Andrea = 2 entries
21. Laura = 2 entries
22. Domestika Jen = 2 entries
23. 6th Floor Blogger = 2 entries
24. HMW = 2 entries
25. David = 1 entry

When I draw a winner on Saturday I’ll use the corresponding list numbers above instead of actual names. For example, there will be two #1s for Sherry put in the hat, one #2 for Alicia, two #18s for Ginny, etc. I’m doing it for no other reason than it’ll save me a few minutes and hopefully avoid a cramped hand!
