This is the email that came into my Inbox a few days ago:

If you’ve ever wanted to know just how much better your life would be if you were pulchritudinous, rich, and a creative genius – it’s your lucky day. Sunshine Megatron, the creator of T-Shirt Hell, has started a twitter account and you can now partake in his latest 140 character rants, follow his daily activities and maybe even join him on his daily stroll down Hollywood Boulevard where he organizes high stakes chicken fights among the homeless.

Plus, there will be plenty of T-Shirt Hell giveaways for twitterers only. And we’re not just giving away free shirts or coupons, Sunshine is going to give away cash, bottles of Cristal, sex and who knows what else. Follow the only real T-Shirt Hell/Sunshine Megatron twitter account at:

http://twitter.com/smegatron

And as motivation, Sunshine will give 20 random twitterers who sign up to follow us 5 free shirts and $100 cash each. We’ll list the winners in a twitter post a week from now. Start following immediately and we guarantee you that zit on your ass will disappear within minutes. Shazam!

That is it, no fancy artwork, no url to website (but here it is now), no 20% off if you order right now. I immediately had to start following this guy. I mean, I care enough about their t-shirt site to subscribe to their email blast, so following this guy on Twitter seemed like the next logical step.

The first tweet of his read: Tell me your favorite luncheon meat for your chance to win 5 lbs of bacon. RT this for a chance to win 10 lbs

…. of course I re-tweeted, asking if tofu was considered a meat. This morning I awoke to find out that I won the contest and 10lbs of bacon!

Seriously…

As a vegetarian who knows the power that bacon has over people, I will be using my winnings to mock all my wine blogging friends who may be reading this.

Just wait…

The funny thing is this is not the first item I have won via Twitter. A few months prior, I won a twitter contest from @NapaMarriott, the Twitter account from Todd at the Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa. I won a Gift Certificate to their spa, the Amadeus Spa & Salon which I haven’t used yet.

Update: I was actually sent an email with a Gift Certificate to Amazon.com saying I could actually purchase anything I wanted from the site… So in true “Shana” fashion, I bought shoes. Though I do have around $20 left on my gift card code, so if anyone has any suggestions on what I should get, maybe something “bacon” related, let me know!

  1. I love that you bought shoes! I am an avid bacon lover, but would do the exact same thing!
