Nestlé Summer: $100 Walmart Giveaway

When I was a little girl, my cousins and I would spend our days playing outdoors, anxiously awaiting the jingling melody that announced the arrival of the most important part of summer: the ice cream man. I have no idea what the ice cream man offered because, creature of habit that I am, I always got the same thing: a Nestlé® Drumstick® cone. Once, I fleetingly entertained the idea of a multicolored popsicle shaped like a rocket, but I didn’t go through with it. My dollar was reserved for a Drumstick.

Twenty-odd years later, I don’t wave down the ice cream man every day (although seriously, that jingle is like a siren’s call) but I do stock our freezer with Nestlé Drumstick cones as soon as it gets warm out. They are Jeff’s favorite ice cream snacks too, which is proof that we are soul mates. And it makes up for the fact that he likes to eat noodles with nothing but butter on them.

We live in Georgia, so our summers? They get hot. I mean, they call this place Hot-lanta for a reason, y’all. Which means slaving over a hot stove in the kitchen? No thank you. Summer here is lived out on the back deck, grilling burgers and having a drink with friends. I typically pass out Nestlé Drumstick cones for dessert and here is why:

A) Ice cream is a must-have on a hot summer day
B) They are self-contained little bundles of goodness (hello, delicious ice cream, chocolatey topping and nuts all in a handy little cone), so you don’t have any mess to clean up afterwards. Or dishes to wash.
C) People always exclaim, “Oh! I love Drumsticks!” and then I feel like a super awesome hostess. Someone invite me to the Junior League, y’all.

So when Nestlé asked if I would sample the new Feature Flavors (hello, CARAMEL GRAHAM CONES!) and host a giveaway for my readers, I said yes. Not just because I figured one of y’all would really love some Nestlé Drumstick cones AND one hundred dollars but because I knew it would score major points with my husband.

I stocked up on a bunch of new flavors to try, and the latest phrase to be overheard in our house is “Do you know what this needs? A DRUMSTICK.” Insert said phrase into all of our recent activities: Watching “American Idol”? Drumsticks. Renting “Breaking Dawn, Part One” with my mother? Drumsticks. Friends over for dinner? Drumsticks. Reward for planting our own vegetable garden? TWO DRUMSTICKS APIECE!

The best? Sitting on the back deck attempting to teach Scarlette how to properly use sidewalk chalk (and letting her sneak the occasional lick) while we debate which flavors we like the best. Jeff’s vote is for Vanilla Caramel Crunch and mine is for the Caramel Graham cones. I was a bit disappointed that my store wasn’t carrying the new Pretzel Dipped Drumstick cones yet because I’m pretty sure the scales might tip in their favor. We are big fans of chocolate-covered pretzels in this house. Well, not Scarlette, but that’s just because she can’t chew anything. She’s got, like, four teeth.

I’m looking forward to our family summertime backyard barbeques, with the kiddos playing in the sprinkler, sweet tea and Drumstick cones for dessert.

Check out all of the new flavors on the Nestlé Drumstick Facebook page.

    When I was pregnant with my son all i wanted out of life was drumsticks! My husband would try and get ice cream sandwiches, too messy, or ice cream, to bland, but I wanted a drumstick! I need to go an find these chocolate covered pretzel cones. Right Now.

    We love to spend our days at the pool….eating ice cream/popsicles….catching lightning bugs….bike rides….Cheap entertainment.

  3. 3

    I’m a fan of grilling in the summer, most definitely, but my favorite? Spending Saturday morning at the grower’s market with gabe.

    Hopefully we will be spending time in the pool soon (despite the new hole in the liner, and part of it tearing away from the pool)

    Pretzel cones?! I’m in. I have to have them. I refuse to eat a bowl of ice cream if we don’t have pretzels in the house.

    I love spending saturday mornings checking out garage sales and coming home and grilling outside together.

  13. 13

    What is your favorite summer activity with your friends and family?

    spending time on the shores of Lake Superior. It is usually a bit too cold to jump in, but the breeze feels awesome and we are so close we can walk their from home.

    Slow Saturday mornings sitting onthe porch with my husband, drinking coffe and enjoying the weather. It’s the best. Hmmmmm, I think Drumsticks for breakfast might fit right in. I’m flexible that way!

    Michelle says:

    Playing in the sandbox! And yes I still do with my kids :-)

  22. 22

    Oh, sitting on my “new” vintage metal glider on my porch is my absolute favorite way to wile away the Summer days. I love to take my coffee to the glider in the early morning and watch the world wake up. My two Pomeranians will sit in the glider with me with their eyes half open (or closed, depending on how you look at it), wanting so much to sleep, but afraid they’re going to miss an actual reason to bark instead of inventing reasons.

    Swimming in the pool with hot dogs and hamburgers and watermelon after! Such a great way to pass a summer afternoon!

    One of my favorite summer activities with my family is hanging out at our neighborhood pool. And ice cream – specifically drumsticks are always involved during adult swim! ;)

  30. 30

    Summer always means more time to read!!! As a kid, I would love to sit by the pool with a good book. Now that I am working as a teacher, summer means time for me to read and not feel guilty about things I am neglecting!! Looking forward to checking out a few that you have recommended too!

  31. 31

    Living in MN our favorite activity is heading to the lake on summer days and nights. I’ve never been a HUGE fan of regular drumsticks although the rest of my family LOVES them. I DO love caramel though and crunch. That just might win me over! ;)

    Dawaila says:

    I love Summer, in the Pacific Northwest we treasure every moment of sun and outdoor time! I also love Drumsticks but I prefer my ice cream when it is so cold outside you have to sit under a blanket and eat it!!! Thank goodness it is colder here more than hot!!

  33. 33

    Oooh, the pretzel dipped one sounds awesome. I’m going to have to see if they have them here yet.!!

  34. 34

    My favorite summer activity is to go out on my in-laws boat and watch 4th of July fireworks.

    Favorite summer activity? Watching fireflies from our screened in porch. We have TONS of mosquitoes so the screened in porch is the place to be. It will only become more perfect when I can find the Pretzel Dipped Drumsticks! Yum.

  41. 41

    Absolutly one of my favorite snacks!!! I love the chocolate ones with chocolate in the middes but the carmel grahm ones may be on the top of the list!!! As far as favorite activities, I would say playing outside with the kids (which should always include a drumstick) :)

  42. 42

    Love Drumsticks! Thanks for the giveaway!

  43. 43

    We love running through the sprinklers and then eating lots of popsicles. Yeah, fun, easy, and repeatable. Love the lazy hot days without much planned out. Much needed break from the hectic school/sport days. And I love being able to take my medically fragile baby outside to enjoy the fresh air.

  44. 44

    I love the cookouts, swimming parties and birthday celebrations we have over the summer. My husband and I work so much that we have very little family time. Vacations seem like a whirlwind if we even get to go, but these little Sunday afternoons together with extended family are always so relaxing – like a mini vacation! Thanks so much for the chance to win – it would definitely be a blessing!

    We LOVE drumsticks in this household. My favorite is the caramel, but I’ve never had the pretzel ones, and those sound amazing! Oh and the ice cream truck…totally still makes me feel like I should run down the street waving my arms! aaawwhh childhoold…

  49. 49

    We love to take walks down by Lake Michigan on hot summer nights, and then get Slurpees on the way home :)

  54. 54

    we luuuuuuv drumsticks, and truth be told, it is so hot here in florida in the summer, some nights we just skip dinner and go straight to desert, drumsticks for everyone, ps. please dont tell my mother, she would be highly disappointed in me.

    Brianna says:

    Heading to the beach is definitely a must for summer in Southern California. But actually, one of my favorite things about summer is the free evening events that are held! Right by my apartment during the summer, every Monday night you can bring a chair and watch free movies projected on the side of this huge building. It’s cheap, you get to enjoy the warm summer evening, and it’s a big community thing. Along those lines, I love checking out the free concerts in the park every summer. One of my favorite local bands (The Fenians – great Irish band) performs there every year.

    My favorite summer activity is playing in the water — any water. I love to play in the yard in the sprinkler and, now that I have kiddos, I can justify doing so again — at least without looking silly :) . I also love to go to the swimming pool. And, we have an awesome Aquatics Center where I live, complete with a huge kid’s play area, kid’s and grown-up slides, and water basketball center, and a “lazy river” with a current that just floats you around (on tubes if you can snag one). It’s a great place to hang out and I love spending summer afternoons there.

  62. 62

    My favorite summer activity is sitting in the shade and grilling hamburgers and talking with friends.

  63. 63

    Summer and Ice Cream go together like PB&J… or better if we are really being honest.

  64. 64
    Kirsten J says:

    Yep – I love the summer barbecues – and that is a great idea for dessert! It’s been years since I had a Drumstick.

    Ice cream sundae Sundays!

  70. 70

    Favorite activity is a pool party and burgers or brats on the grill. And I’m thinkin’ all those yummy sounding flavors of Drumsticks would go PERFECTLY with that. Yes, please!

  71. 71

    We love to go with friends to the lake. With good cooler packing, Drumsticks would keep well until at least lunchtime!

  72. 72

    Relaxing outside with ice cream!

  73. 73

    Summer is all about spending those hot summer days that turn into nights outside, soaking up every last bit of the sun! We love to go to the beach, to the pool, and to the park. But what I’m MOST looking forward to this summer is watching my 15 month old twin girls play together outside…last summer they were only 5 months!

  79. 79

Everyone was tickled with that! Can’t beat it for a terrific treat!
