		<description>Whoa there. The phrases &quot;Peppermint Pattie’s&quot; and &quot;M&amp;M&#039;s&quot; should be punctuated just like the phrase &quot;Reeses Peanut Butter Cups&quot; --- withOUT an apostrophe.

		<description>I was this&#124;close to upping my guess by 50% -- which would have put me at 2,403. But then looking at so many of the previous guesses, I thought I must be on the high side already. Oh well, lesson learned! Now I need to find another count-the-whatevers-in-the-jar-to-win contest!!</description>

		<description>No problem! I just want everyone to realize we would never just pick the winner by who we like. All three winners have very different post counts; with one only having 2 posts. It just is the way the contest falls! Thanks for participating and we hope you continue to participate!</description>

		<description>3rd place was 2400... so only off by 8. Second place was 2401. First place was only off by one, guessing 2407. 

Were you close??  :?:</description>

		<description>We counted the candy the day we started the contest. The candy was counted the day after the pictures were taken- the number has been written down for a month now. So it did not change. I *did* eat the candy while putting it into the containers, not while counting.

I would not ever pick the PFer I wanted to win. As you can see, we have always mailed all goods on time to winners and given to the person who has won. Many have never come back to say thank you and many have. 

Sorry you feel that way, but that is not the case. So no, there was nothing devious about it. Spending our money on a $2350 bag is not easy, so really, I&#039;d love to keep it for myself. But this is going to the lucky winner, who is just that, lucky!</description>

		<description>I loved the contest but when you said you spent hours counting all the candy I felt like you gave the bags to who you wanted. I mean after all you seem to come up with a number that could easily have been for the one PF ER YOU WANTED TO WIN. SORRY NOT MEANT TO OFFEND- but I thought you had counted the candy when you put in the glasses, and therefore new the amount firsthand-before any voted. 
I love this forum , but just felt the way  you got the winner could have been or seem to have been a little devious. 
Baha-I reslly wanted to win- Congrats to those who did. :sad:</description>
