Food freebies: Godiva and “A Taste of Germany” (in NYC)

 

Don’t you just love freebies? Stop by your local Godiva store on these days for a chocolate fix. Yes, chocolate purists turn up their noses at Godiva, but it’s free samples!

June 9-11
Chocolixir (at select stores offering Chocolixir)

June 23-25
Chocolixir (at select stores offering Chocolixir)

June 23-25
Chocolate Bars

Warning: Newsweek reports that the drink has 700 calories. I made an unwanted purchase when Godiva tricked me into buying the drink. A couple weeks ago, my local store advertised free pomegranate truffles and Chocolixir samples. I enjoyed the truffle, and when a sales rep asked me if I wanted to try the drink, I said, "Sure." I thought it was a sample but noooo, she made me a full-size drink that I had to pay for. It was way too sweet and not worth $4.50 or the 700 calories. In fact, half of it is still sitting in my infamous freezer.


If you’re in NYC, Grand Central Station is hosting A Taste of Germany from June 3-9 in Vanderbilt Hall. It’s a really fun exhibit complete with samples of full-size granola bars, fruit jellies and a cooking demo from 12:30-1:00 and 5:30-6:00. There’s also live performances and artwork.
