Fab Freebie: Magnesium

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Wow. You guys are a lot more opinionated about the periodic table than I had assumed. Anyways, random.org selected the winner of this giveaway as… Andi W. (who likes Sodium for all of the salty snacks it provides, but admitted “My inner nerd wants to vote adamantium.”) Congrats Andi!

Hold onto your seats, chemistry nerds. We’re giving away some magnesium this week. It’s coming in the form of Oreck’s latest and lightest-weight upright vacuum ever – the Magnesium. In fact, at less than 8lbs it weighs in at about half the poundage of an ordinary upright. Not to mention its skinny but strong frame slides naturally under furniture and other hard-to-reach dust bunny havens. Oreck’s also throwing in the Ultimate Handheld Vac to round out your cleaning repertoire – and to boost the prize value to nearly $600!

Oreck Magnesium Giveaway

  • PRIZE: An Oreck Magnesium upright vacuum and the Oreck Ultimate Handheld Vac (a $599 value).
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “Mg ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … (you ready for this?) what’s your favorite element on the periodic table? Are you a big fan of Oxygen because of the whole breathing thing? Or Sodium because you’re a salty food addict? Or perhaps good ol’ Au & Ag (aka Gold and Silver)?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 27th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • DISCOUNT: 15% off any Oreck product with code YOUNGHOUSELOVE (valid through July 9, excludes sale or refurbished items)
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Oreck.

    Mg ME! Its been a long time since I have looked at the periodic table and I am quite sure Chocolate wasn’t an element…so I will go with Oxygen since thinking of all this leaves me breathless!

    Mg Me!!!
    I would have to say my favorite element is Argon. It undergoes almost no chemical reactions and and it’s the third most common gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. I tried to think of a good chemistry pun but all the good ones Argon. :D

    Mg ME! I once did a project for my chemistry class that was a periodic table of poets. I don’t remember a single thing…so I guess oxygen!

    “Mg ME!”

    I don’t like lead, but I do like that PB stands for it. I always liked the elements who’s symbols weren’t close to their names.

    Mg ME! My favorite was Mercury. We never knew how toxic it was and just thought it was cool to play with in Chem lab. Oh well, live and learn;)

    Mg ME! I always liked Lead – PB… not for the lead, but because it always made me think of Peanut Butter!

    Mg Me!

    My favorite is Pb. Not because I really think lead is all that great, but because in order to remember it for my big Periodic Table Test in school, I would sing this song…”Peanut, peanut butter…lead! Peanut, peanut butter…lead!” It worked so well, that it’s still the first element I think of! :)

    Mg Me! Geez, you guys, the periodic table? I’m having flashbacks to high school chemistry… As much as I like breathing, I’m going to go with C(arbon) because the diamond is my birth stone!
