Starting September 18, kids ages 8 to 12 are invited to put their talents to the test, creating videos of themselves telling jokes and performing their comedic routine.

The top ten videos will then be posted online at www.myfruitrollups.com for America to choose their favorite kid comic.

One lucky grand prize winner will receive a $1,000 U.S. savings bond, $1,000 in cash toward a fully customized party with a comedian and personalized decorations and a one-year supply of My Fruit Roll-Ups® fruit-flavored snacks.

In addition, the winning joke may be featured on www.myfruitrollups.com, where it can be ordered online so consumers can literally eat the winner’s words.

Entries for the My Fruit Roll-Ups® “Eat My Words Contest” will be accepted September 18th through December 11th. Parents can send in VHS or DVD videos, up to one minute in length, of their children performing their funniest jokes along with a complete entry form.

Performances will be judged on personality, joke delivery, and finally, humor. The ten finalists selected by a panel of experts and Dustin Joiner will be posted on www.myfruitrollups.com beginning in March 2008.

Finalists will also receive a $500 savings bond and a one-year supply of My Fruit Roll-Ups® fruit-flavored snacks. America will then choose one grand prize winner by casting their votes for their favorite performance.

The winner will be announced nationally in April 2008.
