Half A Million Free Candy Bars!

    GLENDALE, Calif., July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Recess may not be part of
 your workday, but you can still put a little play in your day with some of
 life's simple pleasures, such as indulging in your passion for chocolate.
     New Nestle CRUNCH Crisp features layers of light, crispy wafers and
 chocolate cr�me, topped with airy crispies and coated in chocolatey
 goodness, giving you layer after layer of crunchy, crispy fun. And to help
 put a little play in your day, Nestle is giving away more than half a
 million Nestle CRUNCH Crisp bars to fun-seekers nationwide during this
 summer's "Put a Little Play in Your Day" tour.
     "In addition to our half a million candy bar giveaway, we decided to
 make a play date with America," said Tricia Bowles, manager, Division &
 Brand Affairs, Nestle USA. "Every free NESTLE CRUNCH Crisp bar and each
 'Put a Little Play in Your Day' event will give hard-working adults a
 much-needed workday recess."
     More than half a million FREE "V.I.P." coupons, each redeemable for one
 single-size bar, will be distributed throughout the country during the 2007
 "Put a Little Play in Your Day" Tour. To get your free bar, be on the
 lookout for the NESTLE CRUNCH Crisp Car, which will lead the tour through
 nine cities this summer. Each stop on the tour will feature fun recess-like
 games and activities (think hopscotch, four square, jump ropes and more),
 as well as giveaways and prizes, including V.I.P. coupons for free NESTLE
 CRUNCH Crisp bars and the chance to win a Wii console.
