PARSIPPANY, N.J., Sept. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pirate Brands is
pleased to remind fans that on International Talk Like a Pirate
Day, or—as parents may know it—September 19, kids can celebrate by
embracing all things pirate. In honor of all the swashbuckling joy
to be had, Pirate's Booty® is partnering
with Billy Bones, a.k.a.
David Engel, founder of Pirate
School!, a popular kids' show nationwide, to provide fun activities
for kids and parents alike to enjoy this Talk Like a Pirate
Day.
From greeting everyone they see with "Ahoy, matey!" to dressing
in costume to crunching on a bag of Pirate's Booty Aged
White Cheddar packed in their lunch, Talk Like a Pirate Day
provides kids with the opportunity to stretch their imaginations
and enjoy the puffed rice and corn snack, which is made with real
aged white cheddar and no artificial colors, flavors or
preservatives, making it a great option for little
buccaneers.
"In the 18 years I've been doing Pirate School!, it's been very
clear that kids just can't get enough of the seafaring buccaneers,
and Pirate's Booty is the ideal snack
option to keep little pirates feeling energized and playful," said
Engel. "As I've emphasized positive messages of self-esteem
boosting and social skill building that can be promoted through a
pirate persona—I know that Talk Like a Pirate Day is the perfect
time to encourage youngsters to act like good pirates and snack
accordingly, too."
"Talk Like a Pirate Day is our favorite holiday at Pirate
Brands," said Michael Sands,
Executive Vice President of Snacks at Pirate Brands. "The pirate
craze is going strong—and we recognize that it's really great for
kids to be able to connect with that sense of adventure and fun
that we embrace with the Pirate's Booty brand. Kids do it
naturally, of course, but we are always happy to help them
celebrate the day with fun games and great-tasting, better-for-you
snacks."
Pirate's Booty has created a
website for the day to help parents and kids celebrate together,
complete with downloadable games, a glossary of pirate terms and
kid-friendly recipes. Visit
