MINNEAPOLIS (Just Laugh) – Are your loved ones kept awake night after night because of your incessant snoring? Have your neighbors threatened to call the police or even worse, “Come over with axes and f*(& you up???” Doctors tell you that you have a medical problem, your family tells you to sleep in the basement, and now we’re telling you that you’ve got a chance to win a trip for two to Super Bowl XXXVII!!!
The folks over at Breathe Right are holding a contest in an attempt to break the current world record for the loudest snore and if you’re truly as much of a public disturbance as we’ve been hearing, then you might well have a very good chance at taking the whole thing! Melvin Switzer of South Hampton, England is now the proud title-holder for the loudest snore – 92 decibels…about like the sound of heavy traffic at a busy intersection, as recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records, but Breathe Right wants to see this title come back over to America and is more than willing to reward you, very handsomely we might add, for your efforts…
The grand-prize winner will receive a trip for two to Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego, including tickets, hotel and airfare, along with a year’s supply of Breathe Right products and a $10,000 bedroom makeover. Entries can be submitted over the phone, e-mail or even boring, old snail-mail – the complete details can be found at www.breatheright.com.
Studies show that snoring occurs in the bedrooms of over 80 million Americans, with 41% of these snorers eventually being forced to sleep in another room, seperate from their partners. Of course, the Breathe Right company makes a wide variety of products to help alleviate this problem, but even if you’re too stubborn to use them yourself, wouldn’t a trip to the Super Bowl be pretty cool?
