Are you from Canada?

Happy Saturday!

Sniffly I am, sniffly indeed. But I am prepared to tell you a quick tip/story about my internet surfing addiction.

I like to enter contests. And lately I have won two of them. Both of them were just for commenting on a blog and I ended up winning pretty necklaces. One of which was worth nearly $200.

It's different than entering a worldwide brand contest where you fill out a slip of paper and push it into a box which is already filled to the brim with other entries.

This morning I'm going to let you know about one I'm not allowed to enter. It's from Coke and it's out of Canada. You can win a trip with iCoke.ca. iCoke.ca is running a contest that allows you to win a trip for 4 to Atlanta, Georgia. No offense to the grand prize, but I am more interested in the secondary prizes; like the $1,500 Best Buy gift card.

This contest celebrates John Pemberton, the inventor of Coca-Cola, who created his drink in 1886. When he was a druggist and chemist in Atlanta, Georgia, Pemberton began work on a coca and kola (cola) nut beverage. It was intended to stop headaches and calm nervousness. All I know if the product which exists now tastes YUM-O!

Now, I know I have a lot of Canadian readers, so I'm hoping you all enter and take a chance. Because I have a feeling one of you is going to get lucky! This contest ends at 11:59 a.m. ET, October 31, 2008 and the winners will be drawn on November 10, 2008.

Good luck!
