FREE chocolate every Friday through September!

UPDATE: I was just able to go on (at 6:15 pm) and qualified for a coupon for a FREE chocoloate bar. Apparently the deal is not first come, first served every Friday, rather they award the FREE coupons throughout the day! If you couldn't get on the site earlier, try again!

Mars has unveiled the Chocolate Relief Act and generously decided to release 250,000 coupons each week for FREE chocolate! All you need to do is log on to http://www.realchocolate.com/ every Friday morning from 9:00 a.m. Eastern time until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time and be one of the first 250,000. You'll receive a coupon for a FREE full-size of your favorite Mars candy in the mail!

The press release says "Now through September, Mars will give away as many as seven million full-size packages of its M&M’S®, SNICKERS®, MILKY WAY®, TWIX®, DOVE®, and 3 MUSKETEERS® brand chocolate in the United States". That's a lot of chocolate!

If you go to http://www.realchocolate.com/ now you can register and they will email you a reminder each Friday. Mars' campaign stresses that their chocolate bars are real milk chocolate and not chocolate candy like some of their competitors. There was also a coupon in today's USA Today for a FREE chocolate bar to kick-off this campaign. For more information, you can read their press release here.
