Nothing Like Bacon - Hamlet, Beggin's Mascot Celebrates One Million Bacon-Loving Facebook Fans With Week-Long Sweepstakes

Hamlet, the loveable Beggin' mascot, isn't the only one longing for Beggin' on Facebook - one million other bacon and dog treat lovers are too! After just two and a half years on Facebook, Beggin' is celebrating its million-fan milestone with a bacon-filled sweepstakes for those bacon-crazed fans. The Beggin' "Fan Appreciation Week" Sweepstakes begins today on the brand's Facebook page to thank fans for helping the brand become one of the first dog treat brands to reach the one million fan plateau.

The Sweepstakes, beginning September 30 and ending October 4, offers all of the brand's Facebook followers the opportunity to enter for a chance to win distinctively designed Beggin'- and bacon-themed prizes, which will be revealed at the beginning of each day on the brand's Facebook page. Beggin' will award five total prizes (one prize per day) to fans during the entry period and each day's prize will increase in monetary value, culminating with a one-of-a-kind experiential prize on Friday.

"The Beggin' brand has always been about sharing our hilarious obsession for bacon with dogs and their owners, and Facebook has been a great place for people to join in the fun," said Greg Stinson of the Beggin' Brand Team. "We couldn't be happier to be one of the first dog treat brands to reach this goal, and celebrate the moment by giving back to our fans who feel as passionately about Beggin' and bacon as we do."
