I don’t know about you guys, but the Holiday season in the D household always meant buying Crown Royal in bulk for my dad, uncles and cousins to toss back over domino and spades games. And I guarantee if you ask most men in my family for seven nickels, 14 dimes and 72 pennies, they’d head to their drawers for a Crown Royal bag full of loose change. That’s why it’s pretty awesome that the good folks at Crown Royal asked us to take part in their Pass The Crown contest. Another reason it’s awesome? You get to win free sh*t too.
Here are the specs:
Every day, one website will get a message with a hint of some gift they’ll be able to open by the end of the day. The representative can either choose to open his or her secret prize or steal a gift that’s already been given earlier to another site. That’s where you come in.
Tomorrow is our turn to get our secret gift and here’s what I need from you. You have to leave a comment, follow and reply to me on Twitter (@DavidDTSS) or Gotty (@JohnGotty) telling me to either open my prize or which gift to steal. One lucky person will win the gift that I end up with. The more things you do, the greater your chance of winning. So replying to me and Gotty™ AND leaving a comment will increase your chances. As you can see from the previously released gifts, you can win an iPad2, a Kindle Fire, a Crown Royal-sponsored happy hour for you and 40 friends, some Beats By Dre headphones and a tons of other cool stuff.
For full disclosure, I’m liable to ignore all of your suggestions and go straight for that iPad2. But hey, you can’t go wrong with a free iPad2 right? Right.
So again, here’s all you have to do:
1. Look over the list of gifts already given out.
2. Leave a comment below telling me to either open my mystery gift or steal someone else’s.
3. Send a Tweet to @DavidDTSS and @JohnGotty with the hashtag #PassTheCrown telling me to either open my mystery gift or steal someone else’s.
4. Pray that nobody steals our awesome gift and leaves us with broken dreams and a Slinky.
Easy, right? Right. Now, let’s get to stealing people’s gifts!
Follow all the action on Twitter (hashtag #PassTheCrown) and give us suggestions. If you are curious about the dope customized embroidery Crown Royal bags make sure to visit www.CrownRoyal.com to created your very own personalized bag for $9.95. You can also personalize a Crown Royal bottle label for free if you’re 21 or older.
Update: Well, here’s our hint for today’s gift and if I were a betting man, I’d bet there’s a Crown Royal-sponsored happy hour in that bag. This stirs the pot up a bit as votes have been either “steal the iPad2″ or “take the happy hour”. So, what say you? Steal a gift or open up the Crown Royal bag? Let me know because I have to make my decision by 4pm.




Obviously still the iPad 2!

Reference appreciated.
my pops side of the fam does this every year. starts some pretty heated arguments between the fam
Gotty drinks. Just on Wednesday nights.
you better take that IPad
iPad 2
gotta get the ipad2
Steal the Crown Royal Happy Hour. Who needs an iPad when you can be drunk?
Quiet with all is iPad2 noise. You gotta go for one of those happy hours. A place where you can actually pass the Crown always trumps a device where you can tweet and status update about the party that you’re at…party before shiny things.
if we steal the iPad 2, can other sites steal it off of us later or not?
Either way… steal the iPad 2
The strategy is to go for something good but not the thing other people are going to take from you (the iPad and Kindle are out ’cause they’re just going to get snagged from everybody down the list). I’d recommend taking the watch. Better resale value than some of the other stuff, but low likelihood of getting taken when there’s an iPad and Kindle Fire on the table.
Open your mystery gift!
Steal dat bish…
iPad 2 any day of the week.
Can i vote?
party party party!
Snatch the Ipad2
Sell on ebay for $600
Have own Crown Royal party +1
?????
Profit
And if you didn’t see the updated prize list, there’s also an all-expense paid trip to a NASCAR race as well. Just throwing that out there.
I’m still going with the Happy Hour.
the ipad will probably get snatched…do you people think I should still take it?
I would take the iPad because there aren’t that many people behind you and over half of them at least are going to open their own gifts.
The ipad is bound to be stolen from you subsequently. But then again it could come around again. Are there restrictions on the number of steals? I assume you can’t just steal something straight back but if there’s a limited number of times something can be stolen or owned by one person there may be a smarter way to play this.
Open your mystery gift. If it’s awesome and you end up with it great. If it gets stolen later you’re in a better position to have seen more gifts. If it is less cool than the ipad it’s still free.
You can only steal an item on your turn (until 4PM for TSS). There’s no limit/rules on when an item can be stolen, so everyone could steal the iPad 2 from each other for the next 9 rounds.
KEEP THE CROWN!
Steal the iPad2
Tough decision David D. You could get the iPad2 hoping that the remaining bloggers have purchased and are using one already, which it seems a lot of ppl have. You could also go with the party and ask everyone to “donate” $10 on it and you’re $400 richer for an iPad2 of your own.
Your mystery gift could also be something tangible that you could sell for a new iPad2.
Also has the iPad2 been stolen yet? If there doesn’t seem to be much interest in it, grab it.
My final decision, don’t covet the iPad2. Never works out. Keep your gift.
Why settle for one or the other. Do both.
steal it all and then resell it and take the money and buy crown for everyone!! win win situation!!
