Wow.

So… back when I was looking at ways Spoonfed could add some cool competitions, I spent some time looking at our competitors and similar site to see what sorts of prizes they offered and how they ran the competitions.  In most cases, I actually entered the competitions both to see how the entering process worked and because the prizes were often pretty darn cool.

Even through I was working through competitions on the Spoonfed end, giving prizes to real people (and hearing back from many of them, quite happy they had won!), it never actually occurred to me that I might win any of the things I had entered weeks before.

So imagine my surprise when, upon coming home one day, I had a giant package in front of the door which, upon opening, revealed a 70cl bottle of premium triple distilled Smirnoff vodka, two cans of Schweppes ginger ale (to make my moscow mule cocktail of course) and a professional barman’s cocktail kit including shaker, sieve, measuring cups and recipe booklet.

This weekend will certainly be shaken, not stirred .
