RTÉ 2FM & AERO HUNT FOR THE HUNK
September has come to an end…. …. and unfortunately for thousands of fans of the Aero Hunk all the Aero Bubbles have been burst!
Each day in September with the help of RTÉ 2fm the Aero Hunk has been tracked down and BUBBLES OF CASH have been won
Every day during the month of September RTÉ 2fm gave out cryptic clues helping listeners to locate the Aero Hunk and his bubbles of cash! In towns all over the country lucky locals got a glimpse of the Aero Hunk and lucky listeners had the chance to text RTÉ 2fm to win cash cash cash!
The now famous Aero Hunk (or Barney Bubbles as he was referred to by Colm and Jim-Jim) left the RTÉ 2fm studios on the 1st of September heading off with a boot full of Aero Bubbles to his first location of Cavan…. … little did he know there was major competition for his love back in the RTÉ 2fm studios among the lady DJs!
Each day the Aero Hunk travelled to a different location from Letterkenny to Carrigtwohill and Galway to Blanchardstown he even stopped off at the National Ploughing Championships in Kilkenny last week for a chat with Nikki Hayes!
Listeners simply had to get the daily password from one of over 2,000 display stands around the country and listen into the DJs on RTÉ 2fm! Screams of ecstatic excitement could be heard across the nation as the lucky first texter each day either increased their cash amounts or gambled away their chance to take the DJs offer!
In the Grand Finale today instead of just the first texter, the first 20 texters with the correct password and the correct location of the Aero Hunk were in with a chance to win €20,000. As Gerry Ryan navigated through the 20 gigantic Aero bubbles listeners across the country waited with baited breath to see who was the lucky winner of the amazing grand prize of €20,000. Lucky Jim Cullinan from Co. Waterford was the overall winner walking away with €20,000.
