I had a conversation with my sister the other day about why it is that she and I like to drink Coke or other various carbonated beverages. (Except now... 12 thousand months pregnant, I CAN'T drink Coke because even drinking water gives me heartburn. Tragic. I know.) One might argue that I have a full on addiction, to which I would say addiction does not equal drinking 12 or so ounces a couple of times a week. Just because I get giddy and my eyes roll back in my head and I LOVE every drop of that 12 ounces, I'm not addicted. Right? (Seriously. Right?)
For me, it isn't about the caffeine. I can drink a decaffeinated beverage and be just as satisfied. It also isn't about the sugar. Lemonade is just as sweet and yet, it doesn't scratch the itch, if you know what I mean. Want to know what it is about? It's about the bubbles. Carbonation makes me happy. (Pretty sure I have NEVER written that sentence before now. It felt kinda fun.)
Because I like carbonated beverages so very much, I was excited to partner up with Kristian Regale, a maker of fabulously delicious nonalcoholic sparkling beverages. I've had sparkling grape juice before, but never Kristian Regale. I kinda live in a small town, see? I haven't been exposed to the many wonders that exist outside of teeny tiny small town grocery stores. Most happily so, Kristian Regale is available for purchase on Amazon. Me and Amazon? We get along pretty good.
So, Kristian Regale sent me a box of six different delicious flavors to try. My kids think a package arriving in the mail is just as exciting as Christmas morning. This often leads to disappointed children. (Yay! Mom bought... heartworm medicine for the dog? That's it?) But opening my box from Kristian Regale? It was exciting for real.
They were delicious. Which is why I want YOU to try some. Kristian Regale has graciously agreed to send one of you, my fine readers of Mommy Snark, your very own box containing six, count them, SIX full size bottles of their sparkling beverage. How fun is that? All you have to do is complete one (or all) of the tasks listed below in the little widget thing that's supposed to make things like this easier. (Here's how it works... you log in using facebook or your email. This is only so I have a way to contact you if you win. It gives you a list of tasks to do. You pick which ones you want to do, do them, then click the enter button to record that you did. Make sense? You don't have to tell me which things you did. It records all of that for you. Easier for everyone. I hope.) If you don't want to comment on blogger, there are ways to enter via facebook, or twitter. Hopefully, there's something there to suit each of you. Feel free to participate as much or as little as you like. But doing more makes it more likely for you to win. So. Ready, set, GO!
A few things you must know: No monetary compensation was or will be received for this post. The only thing I enjoyed was a sample of free product to try so I could tell you how I liked it. Plus, I get to enjoy the fun of passing some on to one of you. That's probably the best part. Because Kristian Regale is only distributed in the U.S., the giveaway is only open to residents of the U.S.
Also... you'll notice you can gain a few extra entries for donating a few extra dollars to an organization called Rising Star Outreach. If you'd like to learn more about Mommy Snark's sponsorship of Chanduru through Rising Star Outreach, you can read about it by clicking on this link:

Donations are tax deductible and perfectly safe. I use the donation page linked to Mommy Snark every single month. I promise it's completely legit. Money donated goes straight to the children of Rising Star. It isn't used for overhead. It isn't used for soliciting further donations from mail to the masses. This organization is real and good and worthy of attention. So says my heart.
