And the Oscar goes too...

And the Osc...£50 #win50 prize goes to...

All the glitz and glamour of Hollywood was on show this weekend as the 83rd Academy Awards took place and Oscars were handed out to the likes of Colin Firth, Natalie Portman and Christian Bale.

It was quite a show as you would expect of the film industry’s biggest night, but it wasn’t a patch on our inaugural #win50 Twitter competition! Well, we don’t think so… :)

It proved to be such a success, creating quite a buzz amongst our existing and new followers (all 350 of them! Thanks for following!) with 553 people entering. We were blown away by the response and want to thank everyone who entered, you’re all great.

Our randomly chosen, first ever winner was @megachef198, AKA Helen Bigsby of Kent. A HUGE congratulations to her.

As so many people enjoyed the competition we’ve decided that we’re going to run it on the last Friday of every month. To enter and be in with a chance of winning £50 to spend on your favourite American food and drinks all you have to do is follow these simple steps:

1. Follow @americansoda on Twitter

2. Look out for our competition hash tag (eg. #win50) Tweet and simply retweet it!

It really is that simple. Generally we’ll send our first Tweet at 9am on the last Friday of every month and the competition will close at 2pm, so keep your eye out for it!

Back to the Oscars…all of us at America Soda would like to congratulate Colin, Natalie, Christian, Melissa Leo and all the other winners at last nights awards ceremony. Well deserved.

A big thanks to all our customers!

That’s right – it’s competition time once again at American Soda.  Last time we we asked you to tell us about your claims to fame in our ’6 degrees of separation’ competition and we were inundated with some fantastic (and amusingly tenuous) stories.

We wont be asking you to do anything as elaborate this time.  To win a frankly ridiculous £100 worth of goodies from American Soda all we ask is that you fire up your Twitter accounts (what do you mean you dont have one yet?  Get signed up!).  If you aren’t following @AmericanSoda already, do so and then retweet this message that should appear in our timeline:

Everyone who follows us and retweets will be put into a draw and a lucky winner will be picked out of the hat on Monday afternoon.

Get tweeting!
