TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025: Day 14

Here we are at the last day of this year’s Season of Giving, and what we’ve got here is the most recent non-food item I received from General Mills: A Peanuts mug set. It came with a bunch of Chex cereal and a few baking mixes.

Despite my perceived lack of drinking glasses because almost all of my beverage photos feature Pyrex measuring cups, I do not need this mug set. And you probably also don’t need this mug set because chance are that you have enough mugs in your kitchen. But if you NEED mugs, you should enter this prize drawing for four of them.

RULES:

To enter this prize drawing for this , leave a comment with THIS post, and that comment MUST include the word “vichyssoise.”

Remember to fill out the email field because we’ll be emailing the randomly selected winner for their mailing addresses.

We will stop accepting entries on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Only one comment is allowed per person, and it’s only open to U.S. residents.

JUST A FEW OF NOTES:

If you post a comment and it doesn’t show up, it ended up in our comment spam or trash folder for some strange reason. There’s no need to attempt to post another comment because I’ll be pulling those out of the comment spam vortex regularly.

Also, do not leave your comment using the blue REPLY button at the bottom of other comments. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and leave your comment in the section above the blue POST COMMENT button. I know. Lots of scrolling. But it’ll totally be worth it if you win this.

Good luck!

I really want to see Pepperidge Farm do a mashup of its two popular products: Goldfish and Milano cookies. Maybe Goldfish-shaped mini Milano cookies? Just an idea I’m throwing out there. I don’t expect any credit or anything in return for it. (Spotted by Scott H at Landis Supermarket.)

TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025: Day 13

General Mills sent me this insulated cup at the start of the football season. I haven’t used it and will never use it because it holds only 11 ounces. That’s a weird number to make a cup, right? I can understand 8 ounces because that’s a cup. I can understand 12 ounces because that’s a cup and a half. Maybe it’s 11 ounces because it holds 8 ounces of liquid, plus a little extra for ice? I don’t have a degree in cup design, so I don’t know.

Also, isn’t 11 ounces a little small for a “Game Day” cup? I don’t want to have to refill a cup during a game. What if I miss the quarterback throwing an interception in the red zone? What if I miss a pitcher striking out the side in nine pitches? What if I miss the soccer player accidentally running into a referee?

Oh wait. YouTube. I can watch it later on YouTube.

Anyhoo, if an 11-ounce cup interests you, enter this drawing for it.
