Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Join Goldfish Pretzels & Me for a Night of Snacking!

By

***EDIT*** Thanks for your interest in the Goldfish Pretzel screening of Finding Nemo 3D in Toronto. We’ve officially hit our maximum capacity for this screening – yup, the event is now sold out! Check back later for your chance to win great prizes from Goldfish!

When Ryder was just a baby, I received a lot of unsolicited advice.

“Swaddle him tightly!”
“Put him to bed crying – let him learn to soothe himself.”
“Start him on vegetables before fruits, otherwise he’ll grow up with a sweet tooth.”

As Ryder grew, the well-meaning suggestions continued, but I’d learned to take it all with a grain of salt. However, there was one recurring piece of advice that I commit to memory:

“When Ryder’s a young boy, Goldfish Crackers will become your new best friend.”

Truer words were never spoken! Whether it’s during a long car ride, after school, at the playground, or especially in the grocery store (cue: I’m hungry! I want to go home! I want candy!) Goldfish Crackers have been a hero in our household. The boys originally took a shining to the Three Cheese Trio, but there’s a new favourite in the house –

Goldfish Pretzels!

Yes, they are AWESOME! Goldfish Pretzels are baked into the familiar trademark shape that the boys know and love, and are the perfect snack for every occasion (especially TV and movie night at home!). With no artificial colours or flavours, no saturated fat and no trans fat, they give the satisfying crunch kids are looking for. One caveat: with all that snacking going on, you may have to turn up the volume on the telly!

And so we’ve officially got a new “most requested” item on grocery shopping list – yes, it’s imperative that I keep a pantry well-stocked with Goldfish Pretzels. Have I persuaded you to try them for yourself? Well, if you still need convincing, how about this:

Join Goldfish Pretzels and me for a very special night of snacking! On Monday, September 17th, I’d like to extend an invitation to my readers in the Greater Toronto Area. 

The Event: A FREE screening of the Finding Nemo 3D for you and your family!
The Venue: Cineplex Odeon Queensway Cinemas in Etobicoke (7:00pm showtime; please arrive by 6:30pm)
The Snacks: Goldfish Pretzels, of course!

Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis with a limit of five (5) tickets per family until the theatre is full. Please RSVP with your first and last name, as well as the total number of adults and children in your party, to goldfishtoronto@gmail.com. (For example, for myself, my hubby and two kiddos, I would RSVP: Lena Almeida, 2 adults, 2 children.)

It’s no secret that Goldfish crackers have been known to unleash smiles, often saving the day by satisfying a snack attack and helping parents create special moments with their kids.  We call these Goldfish Moments and I’d love to share one with you – I look forward to seeing you all at the movie theatre!

I have received compensation from Campbell Canada for my participation in this program. While Campbell Canada has provided the prizes, Listen to Lena is the administrator of the promotion.

    I would so love to attend if it was on a Friday or Saturday night. Have fun! I have to say you did turn me on to pretzel goldfish and now my 6 1/2 year old wants it for one of her snacks at school everyday.

      Aw, would love to have met you Tricha! Sadly, theatres don’t like people renting out screening rooms on their most profitable nights, LOL!

    I would have loved to come but a bit too far on a school night (1 hour drive). Maybe next time!

    PS….we love Goldfish Pretzels in our house!

      So happy that you love Goldfish Pretzels, but sad that I won’t have a chance to snack on the together :) Totally understand the school night thing – especially if you’re an hour away!
