A massive thank you for all your fantastic comments Chewbz fans, it was so hard to choose just one!

The lucky winner is… Jo Turner, with the comment:

I always wanted a Mr Frosty slush-drinks maker as a child but was never allowed one, despite it being on my letter to Santa for several years in a row. While, this isn’t a drinks maker it is still a Frosty so half-way there (and it’ll only have taken me 30 years to get my own Mr Frosty)!!

We related so much to this comment. There’s a fair few Mr Frosty deprived souls here at Chewbz HQ too!

Thanks again for taking part everyone, we just leaving hearing all your sweet memories!
