Free Chocolate Fridays: Free candy bar to the first 500,000

by crystal on May 15, 2009

It's another Free Chocolate Friday today! Today instead of 250,000 free candy bars, Mars is giving away 500,000 candy bars!

So the first 500,000 people to go here and sign up will get a coupon for a free single-size package of M&M's, Milky Way, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Twix, or Dove. There is a limit of four coupons per household.

Last week, the site was running rather slow until close to noon so if you have trouble getting on and claiming your free candy bar, you might wait a little while and then try again.

Subscribe for free email updates and be entered to win $100!

It’s also important to note that the official rules say it’s only available to those 13 years of age or older. So you can’t sign up your young kids to get one.

Got one today!!

Last week it was 12 EST when it opened up. IS that different this week? I just did it and it is only 9:08 CST

Do they mail the coupon or is it a printable one?

WHEN YOU SAY A LIMIT OF 4 PER HOUSEHOLD, DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN REREGISTER THAT MANY TIMES TODAY AND GET THOSE 4 Qs?? OR IS THAT FOR OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS??
Grace Schmied May 15, 2009 at 10:38 am

If you signed up for four last week can you sign up for four this week?
