Hey there

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 4:27pm

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 4:32pm

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 4:35pm

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 4:35pm

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 4:37pm

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 4:37pm

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 4:39pm

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 4:39pm

The Botanical Gardens Glasnevin this Sunday to Trick or Treat with the kids

Paul3point14 · 27-10-2010 4:42pm

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 4:43pm

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 4:49pm

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 4:52pm

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 5:06pm

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 6:10pm

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 6:27pm

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!

ChainWhip · 27-10-2010 6:46pm

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 7:08pm

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 7:22pm

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 8:01pm

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 8:12pm

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 8:17pm

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 8:43pm

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

TheChrisD · 27-10-2010 8:55pm

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

david75 · 27-10-2010 9:12pm

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

yesno1234 · 27-10-2010 9:22pm

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

hamsterboy · 27-10-2010 10:51pm

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!!

HB

hamsterboy · 27-10-2010 10:54pm

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

GothPunk · 27-10-2010 10:57pm

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!

rainny · 27-10-2010 10:59pm

Would love to win one for my husband as he said he would wear it all day in work 'for a laugh'

itsmeash · 27-10-2010 11:06pm

I'll be filming around Dublin City Centre with the boys from MTV's Jackass all weekend, and need a great costume to wear on Sunday and possibly Saturday also! I think the Fig Roll costume would be only perfect!! Would get plenty of exposure also

dlofnep · 27-10-2010 11:11pm

I'm spending Halloween on a boat, sailing the seven seas - looking for pirates, to steal their costumes because I'm a financially unenviable position and can't afford to buy one! And there's no way in hell I'm dressing up as a black sack again this year.... Just saying..

Dublinstiofán · 27-10-2010 11:11pm

I'll be wearing mine to the Oireachtas na Samhna I need it for Friday morning please

I got nothing! ;-)

MaimieJaney · 27-10-2010 11:30pm

EEEEEEEEKKKKKK! AMAZING!

Firstly on Sat night I'd be hitting every place in Dublin City Centre giving a prize for the best dressed - as I'd be a frickin shoe in! Especially if I bring fig roll bribes!

BUT SUNDAY is the real Halloween and I have friends coming home from London and Rome and I would love nothing more than to collect them in the AIRPORT on Sunday in my full rig out. I'd previously told them they'd be missing the festivities but in this rig out how the hell could I resist! I'd wear it all day long, because I hate that people might celebrate on the wrong day!ha

curry-muff · 27-10-2010 11:48pm

Im going to be hitting the big halloween bash in Derry, haven't actually decided on a costume yet so this would fit the bill well

mclovin442 · 28-10-2010 2:01am

coppers would be hit up with this on i reckon, definitely try to get the taste buds to inflate at the sign of some young one on the dance floor!!!

highfive · 28-10-2010 8:21am

If I win, I'm going to deliver pizzas on a motorbike as a taste bud!

p15574 · 28-10-2010 8:45am

Would have to be opening the door to the kids, distributing fig rolls (boo, no chocolate!), and also to the Leinster v Edinburgh game on Saturday...

AEH1984 · 28-10-2010 9:19am

One of my mates is coming home from a year in Africa next week and I'd love to se his face when I walk into Dublin Airport to pick him up wearing this

zuroph · 28-10-2010 10:56am

3 days of parties to attend, this would be perfect! Heading out in Limerick, see ye all there!

Gazza22 · 28-10-2010 10:58am

Oh i would love one of these costumes, they're brilliant!!! I was actually on Grafton Street the day they did the promo, it was hilarious watching how people reacted to them.

I'm looking forward to getting the same reactions when i get FIGGI with it on Saturday & Sunday night in Dublin City Centre if i win one of these costumes!

Thanks, Gazza22 :pac:

28-10-2010 11:04am

I'm going with my brother to a charity fancy dress this year and would love this, no one else there will have it

dak · 28-10-2010 12:29pm

Where am I going to wear my Taste Bud Costume to ? That question really takes the biscuit ! I cant remember where I am going to wear it .....it was on the tip of my tongue but now I will have to FIGure it out !

Ald · 28-10-2010 12:30pm

I'd wear it to the International Rules game on Saturday! Show the Aussies our Fig Rolls beat their Tim Tams just as our boys will their boys this weekend! ;-)

Kold · 28-10-2010 12:39pm

Freakscene Halloween Ball, Cork.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 28-10-2010 12:46pm

AJ6000 · 28-10-2010 1:18pm
