Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is Intern Hero?

A. In these tough economic times, more and more companies are relying on interns to get the job done. The hours are long, the rewards are few, the pay is meager. The interns of America deserve more. They deserve to be heroes.

This summer, Little Debbie is giving out 200 large sampler boxes of Little Debbie Breakfast Items to currently employed interns in the continental United States. All you have to do is send us a photo of you holding a sign asking for breakfast. Check out the details here. If you win, we’ll post the photo on our blog and send the items to your office.

Then all you have to do is sit back and enjoy being regaled by coworkers as an Intern Hero.

Q. What’s in the Intern Hero prize pack?

A. Five boxes of Little Debbie Breakfast Items. You’ll get one full box of five current varieties.

Q. How many times can I enter?

A. Once every three business days.

Q. Can I win multiple times?

A. Nope. Just once.

Q. Can multiple interns in one office win?

A. Multiple interns from one company can win, but they have to be in different offices. (ie, if an intern in the Denver office of Initech wins, that doesn’t preclude an intern in the Boulder office from winning). The only requirement is that the locations have to be at different mailing addresses.

Q. Will you send the breakfast items to my house?

A. No, only to your place of business. They’re for you to share with coworkers, not to hoard in your little Gollum cave. So share and share alike!

Q. How do you pick your 10 winners each day?

A. We randomly select 10 that meet all the criteria laid out in the entry guidelines and the Photo and Content Submission Agreement.

If your entry meets all the criteria but doesn’t win on a certain day, it will “roll over” two more days and might stand a chance at winning. But after three days, you’ll need to re-enter.

Q. Will I hear back from you after I enter?

A. Only if you win.

Q. Does my employer need to know about my submission?

A. Probably so. But hey, free publicity for them, right?

Q. Where can I buy Little Debbie Breakfast Items?

A. Check out our product locator for stores near you.

Q. Who’s behind Intern Hero?

A. Intern Hero is run by McKee Foods, parent company of Little Debbie, with coordination help from the social media team at Luckie & Company. And like all great things, it’s being run by an intern.
