Your invited to the Nestle Summer Block Party!

One of the things I love about Summer is relaxing and enjoying time with friends.  Who doesn’t love a good Summer Block Party, right…. food, friends, sun and did I mention food?!?  It’s the perfect way to unwind, meet your neighbors and catch up with the people you love!  For this entire week, I cordially invite you to join me (and four of my blogging neighbors) at the Nestle Family Summer Block Party!

The Not-So Blog

Each week, all five blogs including 24/7 Moms, Classy Chaos, Cutie Booty Cakes, Momma Findings and myself will be featuring some great summer tips and hosting some incredible Nestle Giveaways (you do NOT want to miss what I have in store for you on Friday!).  Here at Experimental Mommy (aka The Not-So-Blog), I will be writing about fun backyard science projects you can do with your kids this Summer (very appropriate, right!?).  Today’s tip courtesy of the “Science is Fun” website:

While searching the internet for some fun projects, I found a neat way to teach your kids about Carbon Dioxide.  I know, I know, you are thinking, “How can carbon dioxide be fun?”  But what if I told you that carbon dioxide can make raisins dance?!?  Now, we have the kids attention!

materials

A can of colorless soda (e.g., 7-Up or Sprite), a tall, clear glass or plastic cup and several fresh raisins.

Pour the can of soda into the tall glass. Notice the bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. The bubbles are carbon dioxide gas released from the liquid.  Next, drop 6 or 7 raisins into the glass and watch the raisins for a few seconds. Describe what is happening to the raisins. Do they sink or float? Keep watching; what happens in the next several minutes?

Raisins are denser than the liquid in the soda, so initially they sink to the bottom of the glass. The carbonated soft drink releases carbon dioxide bubbles. When these bubbles stick to the rough surface of a raisin, the raisin is lifted because of the increase in buoyancy. When the raisin reaches the surface, the bubbles pop, and the carbon dioxide gas escapes into the air. This causes the raisin to lose buoyancy and sink. This rising and sinking of the raisins continues until most of the carbon dioxide has escaped, and the soda goes flat. Furthermore, with time the raisin gets soggy and becomes too heavy to rise to the surface.

  6. really, every product I feel people would love at a block party but I guess the the drumstick ice cream cones would be a huge hit at a block party!!

  7. Probably the Drumsticks. That’s something we usually have in our freezer and the first things the kids go for when they come in the house.

  8. I bring the TOLL HOUSE Refrigerated Cookie Dough (Baked, of course) to a block party. 🙂 Thank you.

  9. I would bring the TOLL HOUSE® Morsels in the form of Toll House Cookies. It is very hard to find someone who doesn’t love homemade chocolate-chip cookies!

  10. I would bring the DRUMSTICK Sundae Cones.
    What a super prize. My neighbors would be in ice cream heaven.
    Thanks so much.

    Thanks again

  12. I’m a sucker for all things Nestle, but the thing that would get me to any part would have to be the drumsticks! They are a perfect combo of crunchy, chewy and creamy!

  13. I would take Nestle Drumsticks to a block party. The kids love to heat them outside when it is hot!

  14. I would make cookies with the TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Cookie Dough and bring those. My kids are used to homemade cookies, so they wouldn’t care if I gave that away.

  15. I think I’d bring cookies made with Toll House Refrigerated Cookie Dough. Thanks!

  17. The TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Cookie Dough would be good. I could always try to pass them off as my own, but everyone knows I don’t bake.

  18. @Lexiquin tried to follow sarann on Twitter, but received the message that I’m unable to follow more people at this time. If @sarann follows me, I will follow her back. Thank you.

  19. I would make the cookies out of the refridgerated dough and bring them to the party.

    yum!

  20. I’d bring the toll house cookies. The ones pillsbury make are simply not in the same league as Nestle’s.

  21. I couldn’t bring the drumsticks because those are my favorites! But I could bring the Toll House cookies.

  22. I would definitely bring the drumsticks. They hold up in the heat a little longer and easy to hand out to folks.

  23. I’d like to bring lots of chilled JUICY JUICE® since I think people would like that on a hot cummer day

  28. I would make up the Toll House cookies and bring those to the party-everyone likes chocolate chip cookies!

  29. MMMM the drumsticks and the toll house cookies are both my families favorites!! We would be happy with either!

  30. Every food product mentioned sounds sssoooo gooooood. But I’d chose the Nestle Drumsticks. Quick, Easy, and no Work involved!

  31. i am a cookie baker, so I would bring TOLL HOUSE® Morsels baked into my no-fail chocolate chip cookie recipe.

  32. I would bring the Drumsticks, my fiance LOVES them. Like seriously, maybe more than he loves me! just kidding.

  33. Juicy Juice for sure,I cant go anywhere without that,my grandsons love it

  34. TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Cookie Dough sounds great right now… of course, I’d have to bake them before sharing… sounds like a good job for my daughter… it’s SO HOT!!

  35. Oh man, I would be the most popular girl on the block if I brought 50 Drumsticks to a neighborhood party!

    This is an awesome giveaway. Thanks!

  36. So very often I bring toll house cookies – but I would be more than happy to supply the drumsticks!

  37. the drumsticks would be my pick…i am not really an ice cream eater but drumstick are sorta a mix of everything good

  38. I would definitely use the TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Cookie Dough and bake a bunch of cookies for the neighbors. Its nice to be known as the cookie lady.

  39. Drumsticks! Who can resist ice cream, nuts, and a waffle cone? I can’t! I guess you can if you are allergic to something which thank Heavens I’m not!

  40. I would bring the Drumstick Sundae Cones to the block party.
    Thank you so much for teh giveaway.

    jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com

  41. My contribution would include the Toll-house Morsels because I love to make chocolate chip cookies. 🙂

  42. I would bring the Drumstick cones. They’re always a crowd pleaser. That’s probably why we run out of them so often at our house during the summer. I don’t think I even managed to get one out of the last box.

  43. I would bring the TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Cookie Dough to a block party. Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies!

  44. Although I could probably eat enough Nestle Sundae cones to feed 50 people, I’d take them to a block party instead.

    What a great giveaway. Thanks!

  45. I’d make the Toll House cookies from the refrigerator dough and bring them.
    Great and yummy giveaway, mucho thanks!

  46. I would bring the cookie dough to the party. But of course I would make the cookies first. Who doesn’t like homemade cookies? hehe yummmie!

  47. I’d bring the Nestle Drumsticks to a block party because I think they’d be a big hit with everyone in this heat.

  48. I would definately take the drumsticks, but the TOLL HOUSE Refrigerated Cookie Dough is my favorite (and yes, I still eat it out of the box!)

  49. I’m a big fan of Toll house Refrigerated Cookie Dough, so I would bring that to the Block Party! Thanks for the contest! codisweepstakes2 (@) gmail(dot)com

  50. Toll House Refrigerated Cookie Dough……….These are wonderful cookies anytime but especially when still a little warm out of the oven…Yummy!!

  51. I think DRUMSTICK® Sundae Cones would be a hit at any block party.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  52. I would definitely bring the drumsticks, the only people that i know that don’t like them are people that are allergic to peanuts. I love those things!

  53. Nestle Drumsticks are what I would want at a block party. They have been great since I was a kid.

  54. I would bring a couple of boxes of Nestle Drumsticks Lil’ Drums cones. They come in 3 varieties as a 10 count and every single flavor is amazing!!

  55. I’d definitely take the NESTLÉ® DRUMSTICK® Sundae Cones to a block party. Thanks for the giveaway!

  56. Drumsticks – all flavors from the tradtional to caramel MMMMMM. And I would be soooo popular .

  57. I would make the nestle tollhouse cookies–and bring them–and i would have to bring the drumsticks–i would just pass them out as soon as we got there—-my kids love love love Nestle drumsticks!!!

  58. I would bring the NESTLÉ® DRUMSTICK® Sundae Cones since the summer has been so warm and everyone usually likes those a lot.

  59. I’d bring the Toll House Cookies (baked, of course)! One can never have enough cookies (in my humble opinion), and they go a long way toward promoting good will with the neighbors! 😉

    Many thanks!!

  61. I would bake the cookie dough and take the cookies. Little mess, easy portability, and a sure winner.

  62. I’d bring the Nestle Lil Drums- everybody loves Drumsticks- plus the little ones are a great size for kids.

  63. The EDY’S®/DREYER’S ice cream would be great for a block party!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  64. I would make cookies with the Nestle Cookie Dough, bring the Juicy Juice and Edys/Dreyer’s. My children love Drumsticks but do not get them that often. They are so expensive and they eat them so fast. I do not think the Drumsticks would make it there. I believe they would guard those with their lives.

    Thank you so much for the chance!

    Nikki

  65. I would bring cookies that I madw with the refrigerated cookie dough. It’s about the only thing I cook. thanks.

  66. What a great giveaway! We love all the Nestle products. I would bake a batch of cookies with the Nestle chocolate chips and bring the juicy juice, for our neighborhood block party. Thanks for having the giveaway!

  67. Definitely the Nestle drumstick cones especially if they are the triple chocolate ones. But they are all great!

  68. I am following on twitter @Lanieekat, i also liked you on f/b and I signed up for email. thanks.

  69. I would bring Toll House cookies – chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia and the turtle cookies…they are amazingly good!

  70. I would bring the TOLL HOUSE Refrigerated Cookie Dough to the block party in the form of baked cookies.
