Did anyone else get a free stein from Bacardi?

Nov 14, 2011 4:05 PM

For the last month or so, Bacardi had been giving away 5000 glass steins every week when you propose a three word toast. Unfortunately, it is a Facebook giveaway and you have to like Bacardi Oakheart and then propose your three word toast. The first 5000 toasts every week receives a glass stein.

I received mine last weekend and I have to say that I think it is a pretty nice stein. It is not exactly like the picture as there is no little "horn" at the top of the handle but otherwise it is dang close.

I was just curious if anyone else got one.

ps the offer is still running, if you would like to try

Is it just me, or does it seem strange that Bacardi would give away steins - a vessel generally associated with beer?

@anotherhiggins: Could it be a temporary switch to confuse everyone? Or simple market expansion?

Barcardi rum = BB (Barcardi Beer)
PBR = PabstBlueRum

@anotherhiggins: That is exactly what I thought. The only reasoning I can come up with is that they mention drinking Oakheart and Coke out of a nice frosted glass. With these steins being a nice heavy glass they should hold up to freezer use.

Great! Now I can fill a stein with Bacardi instead of those tiny shot glasses!

@anotherhiggins: I will just point out that good honest seaman know that grog is best served in mugs. A stein seems an appropriate size for grog.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grog

Mmmmm, grog. I like grog; it's very tasty.

"And it's all for me grog me jolly, jolly grog. All for my beer and tobacco. Well, I spent all me tin with the ladies drinkin' gin. Far across the Western Ocean I must wander..."

I love that song. It's such a good time. BTW, any recipe for grog that has fruit juice in it is for delicate flowers that probably extend their pinky when sipping from their sippy cups.

First time I read it, I thought I read "any one got a free STAIN"... :p

Got mine. It's pretty nice for a free stein. Also got a free t-shirt from them a while back.

Does my toast have to win anything? Or does it just have to exist?

@drchops: just exist. You don't even need any votes on it to get a stein - it just has to be one of the first 5000 of the week.

@theoneill555: Awesome. I posted mine right earlier today, so hopefully I'm in. Unless there're a few thousand alcoholics loitering around Facebook at midnight to score a free stein that is.. (which is actually a pretty good possibility)

This is the gem that's gonna win me my stein:

@theoneill555: heh thanks...was there a lid with that thing?

drchops drchops
vote-for2vote-against

@drchops: Nope. No lid - just a recipe card for Bacardi Oakheart and Coke and Bacardi Oakheart on the rocks. Both very difficult recipes to follow:

on the rocks
ice
1 part Oakheart

*pour Oakheart over ice

Oakheart and Coke
ice
1 part Oakheart
3 parts Coke

pour over ice in tall glass

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
