When I think of Rio de Janeiro I think of a beautiful shoreline, the warm sunshine, Carnival, and a whole lot of dancing. That fast-paced, energetic, happy-go-luck Brazilian music has a way of getting your toes tappin’ and your booty shakin’ along. It’s just one of those things. Regardless of your mood or where you are, when you hear it, you just want to dance – you HAVE to dance! Heck, it is fun!
However, after showing off all of our spectacular moves, we have to take a break to kick back, relax, hydrate, snack on some goodies, and maybe watch a good movie or two. And what better snack than one that is right there with us in the booty game? Pirate’s Booty, of course!
As for the movies, who could pass up watching Rio or (better yet!) the all new Rio 2?
Having seen the original Rio film countless times added to the fact that Pirate’s Booty has unofficially become THE snack of our home, it’s safe to say that we are fans of both. Needless to say, when we found out that the two were partnering with one another to celebrate tomorrow’s release of Rio 2, we were over the moon with excitement.
“Pirate’s Booty has partnered up with Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios’ Rio 2 starring cast members Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, will.i.am, Jermaine Clement, Tracy Morgan, George Lopez, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro, and Jamie Foxx, plus Andy Garcia, Rita Moreno, Bruno Mars, and Kristin Chenoweth. The film, in 3D, debuts in theaters everywhere on April 11, 2014. As the exclusive snack partner for the second installment of the Rio franchise, Pirate’s Booty is offering a special Limited Edition 7-ounce package and a national “Shake Your Booty” contest to win a ‘Bahamas Adventure Cruise.’”
Having us, here at Eighty MPH Mom, join the duo in their celebration was a no brainer and I jumped at the chance.
Recently, Pirate’s Booty sent me a plethora of product and, with a box big enough to sit in, my kids thought that they hit the snack lottery when they tore into it to find the limited edition bags of their favorite treat.
“The Limited Edition Rio 2 7-ounce package is for Pirate’s Booty’s best-selling product – Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar. Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar is a deliciously baked snack made from puffed rice corn 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.”
Of course, the partnership and new packaging is in honor of the new film, Rio 2. In theaters tomorrow, this sequel to the well-loved Rio, is sure to be a hit with families everywhere. In this film, we meet up once more with all of our favorite pals as they embark on a new adventure.
“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.”
There is no doubt in my mind that Rio 2 is going to be an incredible addition to the franchise and I think I may even be looking forward to seeing it more so than the kids are! Now, as if a brand new movie paired with a tasty treat wasn’t enough reason to jump for joy, Pirate’s Booty has also kicked off their contest to further the celebration cheers.
“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 Booty’s Facebook page. For more information and a complete listing of official contest rules, terms, and conditions, please visit www.Facebook.com/PiratesBooty.”
Just head on over to the Pirate’s Booty Facebook page between now and Friday, April 25th to enter! I know that we’ll certainly be entering this contest. After all, who could pass up the chance at a cruise?! Not to mention the fact that my little ones were certainly jumping for joy and shaking their little booties when our Pirate’s Booty arrived!
And, now, we want to get you doing just the same. Can anyone say “giveaway?”
That’s right! The wonderful team over at Pirate’s Booty wants to help you join in on the Rio 2 celebration by sending one lucky reader their very own collection of the new, limited edition Pirate’s Booty snack bags.
