About an hour ago I got an email from Enstrom Candies, an American based candy selling company, asking me to put a press release on the site. I get a decent amount of requests like this and most of the time I don’t bother unless, quite frankly, I’m getting something out of it. I decided I would change this policy though as I’m sure my American readers would be interested in this. So, basically as the title says, Enstrom Candies sold their 12 millionth pound of toffee and so to celebrate they’re offering free shipping on all orders until 1 December, just enter the code “PRFS” when checking out online or via their telephone service on 1-800-ENSTROM. Full press release below.

Grand Junction, Colo. (Nov. 16, 2007) - Enstrom Candies announces a milestone – its 12 millionth pound of almond toffee sold over the last 40 years. And for a limited time, shoppers can get free shipping when purchasing their own pound or two.

Below are other notable items that are equivalent in weight to 12 million pounds of almond toffee:

* An average size freight train
* 4,000 regular size cars
* The foundation of the Seattle Space Needle
* 1,200 elephants

None of the above items, however, are covered in rich milk chocolate from the renowned Guittard family.

Enstrom is offering free shipping this holiday season on all orders placed before Dec. 1, 2007. Customers must mention “PRFS” when calling 1-800-ENSTROM or enter “PRFS” in the discount code section online at www.enstrom.com to receive the offer.

Enstrom’s Almond Toffee is made with sweet cream butter from select Midwest dairies, pure cane sugar from the Hawaiian Islands and paper shell almonds from the finest California groves. A generous layer of milk chocolate from the Guittard family coats the toffee and a final sprinkling of crushed almonds complete this world renowned treat.

Customers can order via the secure Web site at www.enstrom.com or by calling 1-800-ENSTROM. Colorado customers also can visit retail stores in Grand Junction, Colorado and Denver. Enstrom Candies ships to all 50 states, more than 40 countries around the world, and to APO/FPO addresses.
