This is #momsdeserve final contest during our campaign to encourage all our fellow moms to buck that tradition of one teeny tiny little Mother’s DAY and insist, “Moms deserve a week!” In honor of Mother’s Day Week, we decided the last day shouldn’t just last a day. Because, you know, we just want MORE and we deserve it. So this final contest is all about more, as in more prizes. Because moms truly, absolutely deserve to be showered in gifts. One mom will win this huge prize pack of several cool mom goodies!
The Winner
Congratulations to Bing!

New Snapple Tasting Kit
Snapple’s new taste and better look can now be found on your local store shelves! Snapple, the original new-age beverage, is undergoing the most significant makeover in its 37-year history. The Best Stuff on Earth just got even better with a new formula, reduced calories and packaging that promote the blend of healthy green and tasty black tea leaves. Over the years, consumers enjoyed the fun, quirky Snapple personality without realizing that premium teas are used to make every bottle of Snapple. The brand’s new formula heightens the flavor derived from the tea leaves, uses sugar as the sweetener, and reduces the calories in some cases up to 20 percent. The official New York City beverage features new bottles that are slimmer and easier to fit into cup holders and their labels go from a ‘heavy-set typeface to a more elegant serifed typeface that emphasizes the green and black tea leaves used to make the drink’ and a sleek new design that directly speaks to its consumer’s shifting! The new packaging serves as a friendly reminder that Snapple has always been made from the Best Stuff on Earth.
