**UPDATED** Winners were drawn and Amy from Assertagirl and Heather from The Spohrs Are Multiplying threatened me with bodily harm WON! Congrats, ladies, and thank you to all who entered!
When I started up this review site, I thought that maybe…JUST maybe…I’d get a chance to try out some new products, bring new things to the table for my readers and *hopefully* get to give some stuff away.
NO ONE told me there would be free ice cream.
MY life? Gets better every day, yo!
Last week I had the chance to get on a conference call with Haagen-Dazs (I know!! The Ferrari of ice creams, right?) to talk about a new line of ice creams they’re introducing - the HaagenDazs Five.
Ice cream is just ice cream…it’s almost like pizza, in that even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.
But Haagen-Dazs does have a pretty high standard and a reputation for excellence and I often walk past it with longing in my heart before I go to the 45-gallon container of the store brand vanilla. Sometimes I’ll sneak back and pick up a pint…just one…for me to stash away.
The conversation with the HD people was fascinating. Their new line is simply called Five. Why Five? Because there are only five ingredients in each container of ice cream: milk, cream, eggs, sugar and then the “hero ingredient” - the flavor…THE FLAVORS!
Are you ready for this? The flavors include: Brown Sugar, Coffee, Vanilla Bean, Ginger, Mint, Passion Fruit and Milk Chocolate. Yeah, for reals.
Simple, pure ingredients…not a single thing you couldn’t find in your own kitchen and no artificial anything…in fact, they even post the ingredients right on the front of the package because that’s all you’ll find in there. If you ever stand in a grocery aisle and look at labels thinking to yourself, “Why would I buy something for my family that’s full of ingredients I can’t even pronounce?”, this is your ice cream.
The taste? Pure, smooth, rich, really unlike any ice cream I’ve ever tasted. It isn’t an overwhelming milky-sugary concoction, it’s sheer taste.
You may have considered throwing something at me by now, why do you care if I got to try the bomb-diggity mack-daddy of all ice creams?
Because this is your chance to try some too.
I’m giving away two gift certificates good for pints of the Haagen-Dazs Five ice cream to two different winners!
Let the swooning begin!
All you gotta do to win is:
1. Comment here about what flavor you’ll try if you win. *pssst, the brown sugar flavor owns my soul now*
2. Tweet the contest and leave a comment here with the tweet link, but use the #HDFive and @anissamayhew, please.
RULES:
Contest runs from 10 AM EST. March 25 - 12 PM March 29.
No duplicate comments. Winners will be selected by random draw and will be notified by email. You have 48 hours to get back to me, otherwise a new winner will be selected. You can only win one contest on this site once in any thirty day period.

Brown Sugar… I have always thought brown sugar makes everything taste better, from meat loaf to bbq sauce to french toast and oatmeal. Yum Yum Yum. I hope I win.

For me, it’s all about the milk chocolate. I could be persuaded to try the soul-owning brown sugar (by, like, a FREE COUPON) but my heart will always belong to the chocolate choice.

The brown sugar sounds enticing, but I’m a chocolate fiend. Maybe I’ll get both and count myself ahead because I only paid for one (IF I win the GC)!
