Which Wich Sends “Flagged” Bags Filled With Treats to U.S. Troops Overseas

Remember that little promotion called Flag Your Bag? You know, the one where we asked our guests to draw their best patriotic doodles on the backs of their sandwich bags to say thanks to our troops serving overseas? Well, we finally gathered up all of the "flagged bags"--aren't they snazzy?--and stuffed them full of cookies, brownies, and Wich Krispies. Also included in each bag was a letter from chief vibe officer Jeff Sinelli, thanking them for their bravery and service. (Aw.) Then we boxed up the bags, dropped off the packages at the post office, and blew them a little kiss goodbye.

So how did we know where to send the care packages? We asked our Facebook fans, natch, and they provided addresses for their loved ones stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. (Thank you Leah Guffey Banister, Lauren Nygard, Tiffany Rodriguez, Tina Smith, and Kathy Davenport.) Everybody keep your fingers crossed that the boxes arrive safely!

Flag Your Bag and Win a $500 Gift Card to Which Wich

So did you get your favorite wich today? If so you might have noticed the special edition blue Sharpies that just arrived in stores. Why? Because we’re having a contest, that’s why! To celebrate the 4th of July—and to honor U.S. troops—Which Wich launched the Flag Your Bag promotion. Guests are invited to draw their best red-and-blue doodles, take a picture of their patriotic bags, upload their photo to the wall on Facebook.com/WhichWich, and tag themselves to their photos. The bag with the most "likes" will receive a $500 gift card to Which Wich; second and third place will get a $250 and $100 gift card, respectively. The contest ends July 11 at 11:59 p.m., and all the bags will be boxed up and sent to the troops overseas so they "get the picture" of how grateful we are for their service.
