NAME RENT’S OFFICIAL TASTI D-LITE FLAVOR!


RENT has partnered with Tasti D-Lite to create the Official RENT Tasti D-Lite flavor. Now, we need YOUR help naming it!

A New York phenomenon since 1987, Tasti D-Lite is the frozen treat that’s lower in calories, carbs and sugar than frozen yogurt and ice cream. Tasti D-Lite offers over 100 delicious flavors every day, which are made with natural ingredients and contain no artificial sweeteners.

Below please find a list of 5 of Tasti D-Lite’s best selling flavors:

PEANUT BUTTER
CARAMEL FUDGE
GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
CREAMY COCONUT
STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE

Choose one of the above flavors and come up with a fun, creative RENT-themed name for that flavor. Feel free to use song titles and lyrics, character names, themes from the show, etc. We want to be WOWED by your creativity!

We’ll select a winning name from your submissions which will become the Official RENT Tasti D-Lite flavor!

The winning flavor will be served every Sunday in April at the Tasti D-Lite location at 1588 Broadway (between 47th and 48th) here in New York City. If your flavor is chosen, you’ll receive a RENT Playbill signed by the cast and a $25 Tasti D-Lite TreatCard!

To enter, submit your RENT flavor, full name and city of residence to tastidlite@siteforrent.com.

Limit one entry per person. Entries must be received by 11:59 PM Eastern on Sunday, March 11, 2012.
