Win An iPhone Week 1
Posted in Brainy Stuff, Competition Stuff, IWOOT Stuff by Danny Woot
To celebrate the launch of our iPhone App ‘Things We Didn’t Know’ (more on that here), we’re giving you the chance to win an iPhone once a week for the next ten weeks. Obviously we can’t just let anyone have one, so dust off your thinking caps, your creative gowns and your initiative slippers and read on:

We want you to come up with the brainiest, most original and thought-provoking Thing We Didn’t Know (examples here), and the winner will win that most coveted of gizmos. To enter, post your Thing We Didn’t Know on our Facebook wall. All entries must be in before 10 AM on Monday 5th October.
Over the years we’ve been sent literally thousands of these, so the winning entry will have to arouse our jaded senses and be truly original. Be warned – we check through the old ones all the time, so anyone duplicating already-existing Things We Didn’t Know (presumably now Things We DO Know) will be spotted!

Apologies folks, we had a minor technical glitch this morning meaning the Facebook page was temporarily ‘in a spot of bother’ – worry not, it’s all fixed now, so get suggesting your TWDK on our wall!
UPDATE:
It seems a small army of people are trying to post their Things We Didn’t Know and are making our Facebook page go momentarily AWOL – we’re working on fixing it, and it should be back soon.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
Apparently, we’re back in competition business! Get entering!
Your Message…A peperami contains 145% pork! Is true. Is listed on the ingredients.
Hi Jon, while we love your fact (mostly ‘cos we’re hungry), it won’t count as a valid entry unless you get yourself over to our Facebook page and post it on our wall: http://www.facebook.com/iwantoneofthose
Good luck!
