HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. — SNICKERS three new limited edition Intense Flavors – Espresso, Fiery and Salty & Sweet – are now available in retail stores nationwide. Each bar features peanuts and caramel covered in milk chocolate, with a bold new flavor twist – espresso, chili pepper or salt-infused.
The new flavors will join the brand’s popular, “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” campaign, with the new SNICKERS Intense Flavors corresponding to the hunger symptom on the outside of the packaging: Irritable = Espresso, Wimpy = Fiery, and Indecisive = Salty & Sweet.
To launch, the brand will create an ‘intense’ pop-up on Tuesday, June 19, in New York City featuring ‘escape room-style’ challenges related to each of the three new flavors. Capitalizing on the popularity of Doomsday-themed shows and the rise of escape room-style physical adventures, the challenges are set in a bunker-inspired room, begging fans to solve the question: which intense flavor will you need to survive intense hunger?
Fans will have a limited amount of time to complete each challenge and at the end of the simulation, they will receive a Flavor Diagnosis, ultimately identifying which flavor they need to ward off intense hunger. Fans can reserve their spot at www.SNICKERSHungerBunker.com or stop by the free interactive sampling lounge open to the public. Details are as follows:
Date: Tuesday, June 19, 2018
Time: 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET
Location: 508 W 37th Street, New York, NY
