Pirate's Booty limited-edition Rio 2 7-ounce

The Limited Edition Rio 2 7-ounce package is for Pirate’s Booty’s best-selling product – Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar.

It’s a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids in Rio 2, after they’re hurtled from that magical city to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit in, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel, and meets the most fearsome adversary of all – his father-in-law.

“Pirate’s Booty is excited to be partnering with the highly anticipated family film, Rio 2, and Twentieth Century Fox,” stated Eric Berniker, Vice President of Consumer Engagement and Innovation at B&G Foods. “Rio 2 is full of humor, adventure and fun, which makes it a great fit for Pirate’s Booty. We, at Pirate’s Booty, are happy to be giving consumers a chance to embark on a fun and delicious snacking adventure with the release of our Limited Edition Rio 2 7-ounce package and a chance to win a ‘Bahamas Adventure Cruise’ through our ‘Shake Your Booty’ contest.”

Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar is a deliciously baked snack made from puffed rice corn and blended with real aged white cheddar cheese. Pirate’s Booty has half the fat and fewer calories than regular fried potato chips, so it is a snack that kids and parents agree on. Pirate’s Booty contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives and is also trans-fat, gluten, peanut and tree nut free. The Limited Edition Rio 2 7-ounce package will be available at retailers nationwide now through the end of May 2014.

“Twentieth Century Fox is excited to partner with B&G Foods after our successful program with Pirate’s Booty on Ice Age 4 in 2012,” stated Zachary Eller, Senior Vice President, Marketing Partnerships, Twentieth Century Fox. “We think the promotional concept along with B&G Foods’ top notch retail execution makes this a very fun and exciting way to reach moms and kids alike!”

Also as part of the program, Pirate’s Booty is offering consumers a chance to win a “Bahamas Adventure Cruise” for the entire crew through the “Shake Your Booty” contest. Consumers can enter for a chance to win by capturing their families’ best dance moves and entering the “Shake Your Booty” contest on Pirate’s Booty’s Facebook page.
