Get Egged at Einstein Bros Bagels on August 16

Disclosure: I have partnered with Einstein Bros. Bagels for this blog post. Opinions are honest and my own.

I stopped by my local Einstein Bros. Bagels recently to try one of the new gourmet Fresh Cracked Egg sandwiches they have just started offering.  There are three varieties to choose from and I decided to go with the French Toast Egg Sandwich which is made up of Applewood Bacon, Maple Shmear, and Cheddar Cheese on a Fresh-Baked French Toast Bagel.  It was delicious!  After enjoying my Fresh Cracked Egg sandwich my stomach was full and I felt fueled up to take on the remainder of my day.

Guess what?! If you want to try one of these sandwiches for yourself Einstein Bros. Bagels is giving them away for FREE on Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at its U.S. locations when you make any purchase that day.  That is not it though...this promotion gets even better!  For every free gourmet Fresh Cracked Egg sandwich given away on August 16th, Einstein Bros.

Einstein Bros. Bagels - New Twist N' Dip: The Most Fun Bagel Ever

** A Geek Daddy received the featured product for free **

I recently swung by my neighborhood Einstein Bros. Bagels location to try out their new TWIST N' DIP BAGEL.  Now you can get a classic plain bagel perforated so that it easily twists apart into pieces that are the perfect size to conveniently dip into a container of shmear. Why didn't someone think of doing this sooner?!  No hassle, no mess! An easy, fun and convenient way to enjoy a bagel.

No need to worry about cutting apart bagels or spreading on shmear using a knife with the new TWIST N' DIP BAGEL which makes this perfect for serving at morning business meetings, providing as an afternoon snack for the kids, or enjoying yourself as a personal treat when you may be out and about.  Each of the new TWIST N' DIP BAGELS tears into bite size pieces and comes with two of Einstein's 16 flavors of signature shmear.

While mom always told us not to play with our food, Einstein Bros. says it is alright to have some fun with this new twist on eating a bagel.  In fact they are encouraging it by hosting a contest on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram encouraging people to show off their best Twist 'N Dip moves. Post a photo or video between now and July 31, 2016 capturing how you Twist 'N Dip your Einstein Bros. bagel using the hashtag #TwistNDip for the chance to win some fun prizes.  Einstein Bros. will select weekly winners to receive cool prizes such as Six Flags prize packs, summer swag, and even FREE bagels for a year!

Visit EinsteinBros.com/twistndip for a buy-one-get-one-FREE coupon for a TWIST N' DIP BAGEL plus for every one sold this summer Einstein Bros will donate a bagel to someone in need.



Speaking of twisting and dipping enjoy the ones that the rides at Six Flags Amusement Parks provide with this discount coupon for A Geek Daddy readers courtesy of our friends at Einstein Bros.Bagels.



I find cutting and tearing apart traditional bagels to be a real pain so this new TWIST N' DIP BAGEL was very appealing to me.  In addition to having the same great taste Einstein Bros' bagels are known for, the pieces you twist off also make for perfect brushes to paint a  nice shmear mustache on a spouse, friend, or child's face. When has seeing someone wearing a shmear mustache not put a smile on your face?! Have fun twisting and dipping this summer my friends!

Batman vs Superman: which Super Hero cereal will you choose for breakfast?

My first experience reading a comic book was flipping through some issues of Superman™ that my grandparents picked up to keep the grandkids amused during our visits to their house.  I've been a fan ever since and have passed on my passion to my children so that a love of comic books has now become a family affair.  So we were excited to see that General Mills has created two new DC Comics Super Heroes cereals to correspond with the upcoming Warner Brothers movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.  As Batman™ and Superman are dueling it out on the silver screen they'll also be matching up against one another on store shelves.  Which Super Hero cereal will you choose for breakfast? #BatmanCereal or #SupermanCereal ?

With the Man of Steel's emblem embossed on the front of its box, Superman™ Caramel Crunch is sure to get your kids' attention.  Parents should know that it just isn't a cool box design when it comes to this cereal but it is as good for kids to eat as Superman is good as stopping dastardly villains.  Superman Caramel Crunch has 12 grams of whole grain per serving and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D.  Plus it is missing a lot of bad things that parents should be on the look out for avoiding in children's food such as no artificial colors or flavors.  Your dentist will probably be happy with it only having 9 grams of sugar per serving as well.

The Caped Crusader's cereal shows off the character's dark side with its chocolate strawberry flavor and a big bat symbol on the front of the box.  Like Superman Caramel Crunch, this cereal has no artificial flavors or coloring and only 9 grams of sugar per serving.  Also neither of these cereals contain high fructose corn syrup.  Batman™ Chocolate Strawberry does pack a nutritional wallop with plenty of Calcium and Vitamin D.

So when it comes to #SuperHeroesCereal are you Team #Batman or Team #Superman?  CLICK HERE to download a $1 OFF any Superman or Batman Cereal coupon when you select your choice!

In addition to celebrating one of this year's most anticipated movies, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, through the creation of dueling cereals, General Mills is also giving away for a limited time four collectible comic books in specially marked boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios and Lucky Charms cereals beginning March 7, 2016*.  So there will be some extra fun to be had at breakfast time discovering these special comic book editions!

*Comic books cannot be found in Batman and Superman Cereals.
