Free McDonald’s Smoothies For A Year

July 4th, 2010

I love to brag so be forewarned that I’m about to brag big time right now.

I know people.
They know people who know people who are hooked up with the big wigs at McDonalds and thanks to my connections, I managed to score myself an entire year of smoothies for free (you know how much I love my smoothies – nothing comes between me and my darn smoothies!!)

Okay,I exagerrated a bit about my connections but definitely not about the smoothies.
I did win a free year’s supply of smoothies from McDonald’s but all I had to do was write a super sleek line to McDonaldsATL on twitter and they hooked me up!Oh yeah,they threw in a free breakfast and comfy seats in the VIP sky box for my little dude and I to watch the 4th of July Peachtree race like royalty.

So now you have my connections and you know people too!Who knows what you could score the next time @McDonaldsATL is feeling generous? (hint,you have to follow them on twitter to keep in the loop so you can win,pretty easy huh?)

This is my smooth winning line,they got my twitter name wrong but it’s hard to be mad at someone who just hooked you up with a year’s supply of smoothies!Follow me at @freebiescity – I follow back!

Dunkin Donuts Smoothie Love Affair

June 27th, 2010

My name is Mimi and I am having a secret affair with Dunkin Donuts smoothies. Our love affair began like most affairs do, innocently and almost entirely by accident. I was having one of those days – I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, was running late, I missed breakfast – not that I’ve ever been big on breakfast anyway and while out running errands I somehow managed to get lost.

Frustrated and really hungry, I pulled into a parking lot contemplating just calling it a day and driving back home to the comfort of my bed when I looked up and noticed a very colorful Dunkin Donuts sign blinking in my windshield. I had never been inside a Dunkin Donuts before but I figured my day couldn’t get any worse by checking it out and walked right in. Turns out it wasn’t exactly the smartest decision I had made that day because I gave up coffee about 5 years ago and I’m not really a huge fan of donuts (duh!). I smacked my forehead and turned to leave and that’s when something caught my eye – she was tall, beautiful and just the mere sight of her seduced my taste buds and made me drool. She was perfect and I absolutely had to have her. It was lust at first sight. Her name was tropical orange.

I rushed to the counter and after a few minutes of just silence and pointing at the menu, I managed to incoherently blat out, “I’ll have the tropical orange smoothie please”. The cashier must have thought I was crazy but I didn’t care. I was blinded by the beauty looking down at me from the menu and I couldn’t wait to taste her. I had the biggest grin on my face as the drink was poured in my large cup and I didn’t wait to find a seat before taking my first sip. The minute I paid for my tropical orange smoothie, I inhaled deeply and took a huge sip right there at the counter and she did not disappoint. She tasted as good as she looked. I was hooked.

I somehow made it back to my car, locked all my doors and leaned back to enjoy my smoothie and I knew with each sip this was the beginning of a lifelong addiction. I’m sure my thighs and waist line were not happy campers but I promised myself I would faithfully walk off the smoothie at the end of the day. After I sipped the last drop of that smoothie, my mood improved (seriously!) and I magically found the place I had been searching for. Ever since that day I’ve found countless excuses to go back to Dunkin Donuts for their smoothies. I cheated on tropical orange by trying the mango flavor and when I needed a sugar fix, I tried the strawberry flavor. Once, the cashier actually made me a mango strawberry smoothie. I was in heaven.

This smoothie addiction is a secret from even those close to me. I barely have any “me time” as a mom but when I do, I escape to the nearest Dunkin Donuts and indulge in a cool delicious smoothie. I’m sure my hips and waist line don’t appreciate it but my taste buds sure do and with my $60 Dunkin Donuts gift card win from The Mom Buzz, you can bet the summer is going to filled with trips to Dunkin Donuts for smoothies except this time I’m going to treat my little dude to a few smoothies too and knowing just how good they are, I won’t be surprised if he gets hooked too.
