unreleased June 1st

These unreleased images just showed up.  Another recolored Gypsy horse is coming to farmville, not really exciting.  I like the ducks though.  The trees are not the ones we posted yesterday, these are the GIANT versions.

Edy’s Contest Some thoughts.

http://www.facebook.com/edysfruitbars <— Where to play

The "No Purchase Required" is that the Facebook page will generate Unlimited Codes, of which you can enter 3 a Day Per Email Address. 

Its a contest, that works similar to other contests I've never won at, so I doubt this go round will be any different.

The way it works is they came up with a list of Dates and Times and the first person to play a code, on or after the "winning time" is a winner.  The Prizes are actually Farmville Cash Cards, in the 10 dollar denomination.  Yes If you somehow win the Grand Prize, it appears you will get 20 $10.00 cards.  And these cards are then Mailed to the winner, why they didn't do the virtual cards, I dunno.

With only 5300 "winning times" and a contest that runs from 6/1/11 to 10/31/11, its gonna be fairly hard to win, but that's generally how contests work, if everyone won there would be little point.

So in short

Don't Buy the Fruit Bars to get codes.  The Code entry on the Facebook page will generate codes for you to use. 

Spread out the time of day you enter your codes.   All 3 Rapid fire in a row, likely not gonna win. But 3 different time periods you have better odds, still slim but better.

I've been told that non-US folks can't even load the Edy's Facebook page, without help, cough cough.

The Orange and Cream bars look tasty, I may have to buy a box.


Updated: The uh Fruit Bar is out of the Bag, Edy’s Promo is larger than first reported.

The makers of Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars and Zynga have put together this promotion that will run from June 13 to June 19, 2011. FarmVille players across the country will plant limited edition Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Bars branded crops within the FarmVille game. A handful of lucky players have been selected to plant trees in real life, as well. This is part of the Fruit Bars company's drive to revitalize interest in fruit trees, and they plan to visit other communities to plant more trees this summer.

 

That's pretty darn cool about actual Real life orchards.  This is pretty cool.  Plus the first orchard is being planted in Farmville Virginia, which is pretty funny and fitting.

 

Also Special Fruit Bar Branded Crops… Could this just be like a Rehashed Crop with an Edy's Logo on the sign, like the Organic Blueberries.  Or could this be an all new sign.  And will non US Folks get to plant the Special Crops?  Who knows the wording would suggest not.  And that makes me sad for our international readers.

Update:

 From June 13 to June 19, 2011, FarmVille players across the country will plant limited edition Dreyer's Fruit Bars branded crops within the FarmVille game, earning additional profitability and the opportunity to receive mastery recognition for planting, growing and selling the Fruit Bars crops.

Yeah that "across the country" sounds like this Phase of the Promo will be US only and have Special Masterable Crops. 
So yeah I guess start sharpening the pitchforks and lighting the torches.

(I do not endorse or Condone Pitchforking or Torching)

More as we know it.


A Birdie and a Kitty Told me a secret…

It appears a certain company could maybe be doing a Promo soon.  And I dont wanna give away all the details so I'll ask you a simple question.

 

What's in Your Wallet?

 

Who knows it may be a Global Promo or Just a US One, Or it may not even happen, but I suspect if its gonna happen it will be Soon, And *maybe* we will get a nifty Statue that gives us a Week of Double Mastery.. Similar to the Amex Statue.
