Act Kindly and Get a Free Breakfast Sandwich

Kindness may be it's own reward, but it's nice to get a token of appreciation. That is the message behind the unusual social media promotion by McDonald's, which offers customers a coupon for an Egg White Delight McMuffin when they perform an act of kindness – and tell the world about it.

Of course, they have to go to Twitter.com and tweet @McDTampaBay to say what that kind act was and include the tag, #BeDelightful.

McDonald's "Be Delightful" campaign runs through the month of May.

Here are just some of the random acts of kindness tweeted across Tampa Bay by this offer of a free Egg White Delight. Of course, this contest runs on the honor system:

•  @cfischer69: Carried a tray at @sweettomatoes for a grandma having a struggle with her grandson. #BeDelightful
• ‏@sheilacakes7: I let 10 people go ahead of me through security at the airport. #bedelightful
• @leeclewis43: My random act of kindness I help a 91 one year old lady pump gas. #BeDelightful
• ‏@the3pete: You would be so proud of me! I helped my neighbor mow her lawn. #BeDelightful.
