Banquet Says, "Thanks A Million"

Growing up, it was a special treat to occasionally pull out the TV trays and eat dinner in front of the television. This was usually reserved for nights when the adults were too busy to cook, but we didn't know that. We thought of it as fun! Banquet was the brand I remember from back then and they are thanking their loyal customers with a new campaign (keep reading for details).

I remember the little Banquet Single Serve Meals my mom and grandmother kept in the freezer for these occasions. My favorite was the Salisbury Steak Meal with mashed potatoes and corn. I also loved the little brownie that came in some of the meals. I can still picture us lined up on the floor, with our little trays across our laps. We'd watch Hee Haw or Wheel of Fortune while eating our frozen dinners. Those days, they all had tin foil over the top and were cooked in the oven (no microwaves).

Banquet has been creating memories like this for over 50 years. Of course, we all love a good home cooked meal, but as busy as life is sometimes, that's not always in the cards. It's nice to have a back up plan in the form of frozen meals. We keep a bag of Banquet chicken nuggets in the freezer for quick meals when the kids were hungry ten minutes ago and beyond hungry now. My almost three year old signs the word "more" over and and over and over when he's really hungry, so when he starts doing that, I know I better getting dinner on the table and fast.
 

As a way of saying "Thanks a Million" to their loyal customers over all these years, Banquet is giving away more than $1 million worth of redeemable cash prizes this February through April. All you have to do is look for Banquet frozen dinner meals with the "Thanks a Million" logo on the box. Each of these specially-marked packages will contain a special game piece, either one of over 16,000 redeemable cash prizes worth anywhere from $10 to $100,000, or a Banquet coupon.

I recently picked up a macaroni and cheese meal and the boys gobbled it up. I also picked up my trusty Salisbury Steak and it was as good as I remember. To find out more about the "Thanks a Million" promotion, go to www.BanquetThanksaMillion.com.
