Ten HSBI and Two DUO Token Giveaway Week 45!

avatar

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend, and I hope you have it off. It's kind of cloudy and cool this morning here so far here in southern California, definitely not beach weather! Hopefully it warms up the next couple of days, I don't like the cold. How ironic that I used to be a ski instructor...

Sunday is always my weekly giveaway post, and like always I like to go through the responses from all of you awesome people who took the time to enter. This last week the question was: What is your favorite candy bar? I had 37 total entries, tying the all time high! I would love to highlight them all, but I would probably put you all to sleep before we even get to the winners from last week!

Let's start with a rather uncommon one these days:

Charleston Chew


doyouremember.com

These are nougat flavored with vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry covered in chocolate. I don't know if I've ever even had one. @geneeverett put this down because his dad would freeze them before eating. If you ever watched the show "Futurama" the head of President Nixon would talk about these frequently. Whether or not the late President Nixon liked them or not in real life I don't know. But just interesting enough that I had to include them!

Twix


wallpaperaccess.com

Twix is always a great treat. Interestingly, it was called Raider in Europe for many years before switching to Twix, but still is Raider in some locations. I've always liked these, they taste great! Thanks to @borniet for this pick!

Mars


jollygrub.com

The Mars bar is filled with nougat, caramel, and smothered in chocolate. Pretty much what a Milky Way bar is the United States. It sounds great, I've never tried the UK version, but I bet it's great! Thanks for this pick @tengolotodo !

Snickers


keioaboutchocolate.wordpress.com

I think this was the overall favorite today, at least in one form or another. Some mentioned the ice cream version and high protein version, but they all taste great! Yes it is essentially a Milky Way with peanuts added, but I love peanuts! Thanks for this pick to @moonthumb @rainbowdash4l (ice cream version) , @olaf.gui @henruc @hatdogsensei @alexvan (high protein) @yusmelys (chocolate with peanuts)

Crunch


commons.wikimedia.org

I've always been a sucker for a Crunch bar, chocolate with crispy rice inside. I always wondered how they kept the rice so crunchy when adding it to the chocolate? Thanks to @lumpiadobo for this pick! This was also @tengolotodo 's second pick!

Samba


latincandyinc.com

This one is Venezuelan but reminds me of a strawberry Kit Kat, with strawberry between the wafers and covered with chocolate. Looks awesome! This was chosen by @lanzjoseg , thanks!

Kit Kat


cracked.com

Another very popular choice is Kit Kat! What's not to like? They make different flavored ones from time to time that are usually good as well. I included @ekavieka in here too with the Beng-Beng because it looks so similar. Thanks to @kungfukid @vaynard86 @geneeverett @ronnie10 @ganjafarmer @ladymisa @ekavieka (Beng-Beng) for this great pick!

Reese's


pieceofuk.de


pieceofuk.de

These are both really good! The classic peanut butter cups was a pick by @silvertop and the very yummy Nutrageous was picked by @ravenmus1c . The Nutrageous has peanuts, caramel in addition to the peanut butter filling and smothered in chocolate. Great choices, thank you!

Thanks to the rest of you, I wanted to cover them all, all great picks, thank you so much!

This week's entry question:

Now for today's entry question: What is your favorite fruit?
I've asked this one quite some time back, now that we have more people participating I thought it might be fun what new fruits we see.

The Giveaway

I will be giving out two prizes of five (5) HSBI. Third prize will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. Fourth prize is 100 BBH tokens. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.

If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week.

How to Enter

Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question should be fun:

What is your favorite fruit?

HSBI

If you are unfamiliar with the prize you can learn more here:

https://ecency.com/post/@steembasicincome/hive-sbi

Or check out my recent post:

https://labs.inleo.io/@thebighigg/hsbi-what-are-they-my-experience-and-a-starter-guide

Choosing the Winners

All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second prize will be another 5 HSBI units. Third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize will be 100 BBH tokens. And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?

Deadline

One week from today which will be Sunday January 26, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.

Now to choose last week's lucky winners!

And the first spin!

Congratulations @ravenmus1c ! You won 5 HSBI units!

And the second spin!

Congratulations @lanzjoseg ! You too have won 5 HSBI units!

The third spin

Congratulations @ekavieka ! You won 2 DUO tokens!

The fourth spin

Congratulations @blitzzzz ! You won 100 BBH tokens!

That will wrap things up for this Sunday. Please feel free to leave your responses below and any questions or comments you may have. Thank you everyone for all of your support, and I'm glad you all still enjoy this little initiative of mine. Have a great rest of your weekend everyone!

I might be biased, but you should really try my favourite: Danish strawberry 😃

We do eat Spanish strawberries here too because we can't grow them efficiently during the winter

I love them too! When I lived in the South West I had a Mexican restaurant I frequented. They made me a margarita the way I liked, straight lime juice, no sugar, and good tequila and a shot of Gran Marnier. Those were so good! Ah the good old days!

Watermelons it is! As a kid I hated watermelon, not sure why. But when I was living in Chile I learned to love it. You could buy a whole melon from the farm for a quarter, it was awesome!

Ahay, thank you so much for the Duo token, i appreciate it every much. A nice addition to my Duo bag.
and congrats to the other winners as well.

i love bananas so much, and Durians, but I tend to eat durian a lot less now when it is in season.
I don't think you will like the durian, as it has a strong odor. hahah

We need to get you up to two hundred DUO so you can get curation and daily Hive dividends! Durian is the one fruit I cannot stand, I've tried it a few times and just learn to like it! lol

I love bananas too, especially the red ones when they are just short of ripe and a little green and sour!

My favourite fruit is Durian. It is a like it or hate it fruit. Well liked by many in my part of the globe. Nice to eat as it is but equally amazing when used as ingredients for cakes and desserts.

Ha great question!

I would say a pomegranate. The pomegranete is the family favorite, where I spend 15 min getting everything out - the kids come and get some in the progress. Love the fruit by itself, but it also very nice in a salad or even as a side on the maon course.

Close second for me is a mango

Thank you my friend @thebighigg, congratulations to all the participants and winners.

My favorite fruit is the mango and here in Venezuela you can find a mango tree everywhere, in fact in the university there are thousands of mango trees, this picture is taken today Monday 20th, and we are just in the best season of mangoes is when you can get more, although here in Venezuela I can say that always in different places there are mangoes.

Mango in Venezuela is like the apple, there in your country.

This is a hard question ... I love so many ... but I have a pile of orange peel right next to me, and, year in and year out, the orange is the fruit I love the most. I prefer the navel oranges of the winter and early spring, but I have learned to love Valencia oranges too, and I will eat a Cara Cara and blood orange too. All the little varieties of mandarins and tangerines, too ... but an orange is the only fruit of which I once made a day's eating of SIX of them. That was all I wanted or needed that day -- all those vitamins and fiber and juice! It is the most likely fruit I will start the day with if I have to get out very early but will have a moment to roll through a park and sit before hitting a long meeting, and it is the most common dessert for my last meal of the day.

Honorable mention to all fruits in the citrus family -- I love winter and early spring because I will be getting ALL OF THIS GLORY!
