Hey there

How would you like to dress up in the most tasteful Halloween Costume in Ireland this year?

Have you seen the Jacobs Fig Roll ad?

Figrolls%20Tastebuds%204.jpg

We have FIVE of the Taste Bud costumes to give away before tomorrow - they will be couriered to your home in time for Halloween - so you too can look like this and be the star of any Halloween party you're going to.

The Jacobs Taste Buds have been out and about in Dublin and Galway recently launching fig attacks on unsuspecting passers by.

All you have to do to be in with a chance is tell us below where you're planning to wear the costume to! We'll pick the winners tomorrow evening and get the costume out to you before Halloween.

Terms and conditions: Your comments will not appear immediately but they are there! Sorry, but this competition is only open to people resident in Ireland. No cash alternative available. Judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Jacobs Fruitfield is the promoter and we'll do the best we can to get your costume to you before Halloween.

Pretty boring, but I would love one of these for my partner to wear trick or treating with our daughters on Halloween, can you imagine the faces on people when they opened the door!!

rannerap · 27-10-2010 03:27PM

I'm spending halloween in an old mans type pub in Navan were its guaranteed no one will be dressing up, I would love to show up dressed like this:D its bound to cause a bit of confusion!:P

SusieQue · 27-10-2010 03:32PM

Its my baby brothers birthday, he's in his 30s so either he or I could wear it when we all head out for a *ahem* quiet drink in the local

azwethinkweiz · 27-10-2010 03:35PM

I would totally wear this while I answer the door to the kids trick or treating! Imagine their faces! and then I'd hand out fig rolls to them all... it'd be awesome...:cool:

Goodne · 27-10-2010 03:35PM

Hi, I would love to win a costume; but its not for me; for my sister. She is going to the Forum in Waterford at the weekend & has been looking for a costume & thinks this would be brilliant.

rascalini · 27-10-2010 03:37PM

I want one of these so badly...I seen them at the ireland v russia game and went around to get my pic taken with them but they were gone....:(

I'd enjoy the biscuity bits at my boyfriends work-do in westport on the sat night followed by Cork city on Sunday night....

and then again in work on monday....(ok maybe not)

seriousfizz · 27-10-2010 03:37PM

I'm going to my best mates house for a shindig with all my closest friends! They think I'm sexy but they'll practically be lickin' the face off of me if I won this competition

:cool:

gopod · 27-10-2010 03:39PM

I'd wear it to the Halloween Full Moon Fancy Dress Party (in aid of The Adult Disability Day Unit) in Navan.

Mrs_Hen · 27-10-2010 03:39PM

Paul3point14 · 27-10-2010 03:42PM

I'll wear it as I bring my little sister trick or treating, and I live in CLONDALKIN so I would fit in perfectly going around saying "Story Bud" haha

Hurricane-Dean · 27-10-2010 03:43PM

I'd find the poshest party going on in the city on Halloween and burst in launching fig rolls with that costume on.

faceman · 27-10-2010 03:49PM

I'm heading to a Halloween party in a fellow boardsie's house, Deathstarkiller. If I win one it would be a great excuse to wear a nappy to a party, guilt free!

jocon07 · 27-10-2010 03:52PM

The DkIT College grad is on this Saturday and there is a fancy dress party in the club after. If I win it, my date will actually go mental!

sideofbacon · 27-10-2010 04:06PM

I was going to brave the streets of Navan dressed as a Mel Gibson from braveheart,I was planning on bringing the three sturdiest(sober) men I could find from a pub in Hackballscross in Louth and fight Joe Sheridan and the Meath team for the theft of the Leinster trophy.I was to be carried across the bridge and into Drogheda as a hero,until I get stabbed for not having a lighter.But now the opportunity to dress as a fig has arrived,Id just sit opposite him in the pub throwing packets and packets of fig's at him

:D

s_carnage · 27-10-2010 05:10PM

I'll be dressing up in Galway and will wear it during the re-enactment of Michael Jacksons Thriller video down Quay St. Should make it on to quite a few you-tube videos!!

the_barfly1 · 27-10-2010 05:27PM

If you were so kind to offer me the prize, it'd get plenty of use this weekend because:
On friday i'd be wearing it while looking after sound and lights at a fancy dress charity gig in Portarlington, Co. Laois;
On saturday i'd be wearing it while rocking out on a drum kit at Lil's bar in Kildare town;
Aaaand on sunday it would be paraded around Portlaoise to celebrate Halloween in style!
Three nights looking awesome for the price of one prize! I'll even organise a few photos for the amusement of all who frequent Boards.ie

Pretty please!

I usually spend Halloween cycling around Dublin city centre with my mate while we're dressed as Batman (me) and Superman (him).

We've made people thump their steering wheels in laughter, and scared the living daylights out of kids as they sit in the back seat of a car when we pass.

This year I've got rid of Batman, and I sooo want to me the ubiquitous cycling Figroll!

deelite · 27-10-2010 06:08PM

Just sitting in (no change there then) will watch Fair City and Xfactor results - would be a good chance to dress up for staying in..............

Yuugib · 27-10-2010 06:22PM

Would love to have this!!!

Going to wear it for a work Halloween party at number 6 at smithfield and then definitely to a college party on Friday at the Academy!!

Who knows, maybe even trick'or'treating on Sunday :P

PCPhoto · 27-10-2010 07:01PM

my plan to wear the costume is:

from midday on Sunday - wander around the streets of Ranelagh in Dublin - maybe going into the city centre for some extra shopping... and later on in the afternoon - drive to my girlfriends place in Enfield (co. Meath) where we will visit some friends for a fancy dress party.

L1m1tless · 27-10-2010 07:12PM

Would wear it to the halloween party we're having. Would be cool because everyone is expecting me to be dressed as a gangster, this would have then in stitches. :P

27-10-2010 07:17PM

Am heading to the Dublin pubs in the mountains, so I hope to scare the yanks in Johnny Foxes while wearing one of these.

Boxfresh · 27-10-2010 07:43PM

I'd wear mine to mass on Sunday and try and get my dad to wear the other one.

TheChrisD · 27-10-2010 07:55PM

I'd probably nip along to Tallon's Halloween get together in one :P

david75 · 27-10-2010 08:12PM

Theres a cool monthly fetish night coming up with a television theme night. itd be handy for that

yesno1234 · 27-10-2010 08:22PM

Probably house party and then head into town with all my housemates.. Basically get into all sorts of shenanagins.

hamsterboy · 27-10-2010 09:51PM

I would love this costume, as I am the spitting image of the guy wearing it in the ad and would happily stride through my hometown of Enniscorthy with massive pride in it, would also wear it on the drive home from Galway and cause a few accidents!!

hamsterboy · 27-10-2010 09:54PM

Would wear it on the drive from Galway to Wexford Helloween night, straight to a party, also I'm the spit of the guy in the ad anyway, so I'll cause a few accidents

One of the senior professor's in my lab is throwing a Hallowe'en party and I've been having trouble coming up with ideas. Maybe I'm not giving them enough credit but I worry that they wouldn't get what I had dressed up as or think I was really weird. I think if I went as a Taste Bud from the Fig Rolls ad I'd have their respect for the rest of my studies towards my PhD.

It's original and scientific!
