Send Summer Out with a Fire Bone Blippar Bang – Frito-Lay and Skylanders

This summer has been a Skylanders summer for us. After kicking off the season with our themed party and some incredible new goodies, our boys have had the “all Skylanders, all the time” mindset. Toys, beach towels, clothing, and even the game itself on a good rainy day; the brand has certainly made an impact on our lives this year.

Of course, with every good summer adventure, you’ll need some good snacking options. For that, there’s Frito-Lay. Always a family favorite, they offer a vast array of delicious snacks that everyone can enjoy.

Earlier this year, the two partnered up on their launch of a contest to determine the newest character addition to the Skylanders family for the upcoming Skylanders Trap Team™ game. After taking submissions from across the country, narrowing it down to the top three choices, and then allowing fans to vote for their favorite, the waiting game begins. As the votes are being tallied and we await the winning character’s announcement, they’ve got another surprise in store for us. You see, the person that submitted the winning character’s name will win a fantastic prize in addition to seeing the character he or she named come to life, Skylanders and Frito-Lay wanted to give you reason to celebrate, too.

With the launch of their newest sweepstakes and instant win game, their current partnership with the Blippar mobile app, fans now have the opportunity to bring their favorite characters to life through the amazing augmented reality technology.

Blippar is the world’s leading augmented reality and image recognition app. Millions of people are already ‘blipping,’ unlocking everyday objects with their mobile phones and tablets to reveal hidden interactive experiences.

This particular Blippar experience made available by the incredible team over at Frito-Lay not only allows users to see their favorite Skylanders characters come to life but offers families the wondrous opportunity to win prizes and enjoy fun Skylanders content. From now through September 5^th, they will be giving away a Fire Bone Hot Dog figure for every fifteen minutes of the promotion! Yes, you read that right! For every fifteen minutes of the promotion, one Fire Bone Hot Dog figure will be awarded.

Want to enter for a chance to win?

It’s simple!

All you need to do is download the free Blippar mobile app on your mobile device – available for both iOS and Android devices – and scan the back of any specially marked Skylanders Frito-Lay Variety Packs to enter for a chance to win the Fire Bone Hot Dog figure.

As if that weren’t enough, the duo has gone on and, in their third year, topped themselves once more. In addition to awarding hundreds upon hundreds of Fire Bone Hot Dog figures in the Fire Bone Hot Dog game, they’re also offering another chance to win. One lucky fan who enters through August 15^th will win a spectacular Skylanders Game Truck Party! You’ll need to use the Blippar app to scan an in-store Frito-Lay Skylanders display.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I think that this partnership is a fantastic one. Not only does it offer fans the chance to win outstanding prizes but, since the pair has combined forces, snacking on delicious Frito-Lay products has become even more fun. I mean, who wouldn’t want to enjoy a perfect summer snack with packaging featuring an exciting Skylanders character? And that, well, that is exactly what I intend to do.

You see, this summer has been an incredibly hectic one thus far and I, for one, am looking forward to taking some time with my family to spend doing nothing but relaxing in the warm summer sun at the sandy shore. Our beach trips often include Frito-Lay snacks for their ease. You can quickly toss a few goodies into a beach bag and off you go without the worry of whether or not it needs to be kept cool. Add to that the fun and excitement of Skylanders and I’m sold. We all love it ; it’s the perfect combination!

As back-to-school season quickly approaches, this little beach trip will likely be our last hoorah of the summer. And, in good ol’ exciting fashion, we must go out with a bang. For that – how does a giveaway sound?
