Slightly under a week ago, our editor Caitlin committed a deed which was simultaneously wonderful and dastardly. She sent each of Snackerrific’s staff writers several coupons for free ice cream products. “But wait,” you might wonder. “That’s downright nice! Wherever does this ‘dastardly’ nonsense come into play?”

You should take into account, dear snackers, that I’m a woman. A not-so-pleasingly plump one at that; all-natural in the midst of L.A. - AKA Silicone Valley. As such, I’ve developed a bit of an unhealthy (so my boyfriend claims) inferiority complex.

I’m attempting to get into slightly better shape, with near-daily gym workouts, but - here’s the rub - I love to eat. More specifically, I enjoy feasting on loads of high-calorie, fatty snacks to the exclusion of “normal” food. So, while the weight appears to be sloooowly releasing itself from my ample curvaceous parts, I doubt I’ll attain a “Hollywood-perfect” body without drastically revamping my eating habits.

As regular Snackerrific readers know, I can’t resist a bargain any more than I can resist a rich ‘n’ sinful delight (my last name is Roth; you do the math). By default, when I see free food, I have to indulge (assuming it’s not chocolate-covered broccoli)! Naturally, coupons for free ice cream treats meant my diet for the next few days would consist of ice cream. Temptation and free review opportunities outweighing visions of a more beautiful body, I headed to the local Ralph’s.

Here at Snackerrific, we love frozen snacks - from Fruit Ice Pops to Fudgsicles (but only the original flavor, thanks), we can’t get enough. Well, now you can get in on some frozen goodness as well!

For our inaugural giveaway here at Snackerrific, we’re offering 15 full value (up to $7) coupons for frozen treats from Klondike, Good Humor, Breyers, and Popsicle. So, how do you get them? Simple, really. Leave a comment with an original ice cream haiku and the writers will vote for the best three. In addition to those three, two others we pick at random will also win. That means all five winners will receive $21 worth of coupons for ice cream!

We’ll read submissions through October 13, 2008, which leaves you two weeks to come up with your own poetic genius. Winners will be announced October 20.
