Goldfish Pretzels

Join us for a #GoldfishMoments Twitter Party!

September 26, 2012 By Lena

Me and Reid (with his Nemo-inspired top, of course!)

Last week, I did something that I haven’t done since my 16th birthday – I threw a party at a movie theatre.

(In case you were wondering, in 1994 we saw Naked Gun 33 1/3. Yes, I am that old.)

This time around, my guest list was *slightly* longer; I advertised the event via social media vs. passing notes in Science class; the movie was in 3D, something that required red and blue glasses 20 years ago; and the biggest distinction – we had the awesome opportunity to munch on delicious (and highly addictive) Goldfish Pretzels!

(Okay, perhaps the biggest distinction is that I no longer wear doc martens and a mood ring.)

Nevertheless, I had the pleasure of joining my amazing readers, friends and family for an exclusive screening of Finding Nemo in 3D.

The theatre was buzzing with adorable children of all ages, ready to spend the night with their favourite clownfish and Goldfish! Yummy snacks, a free movie and time with family and friends – yes, it was pretty awesome!

I wanted to thank everyone who took time out of their busy weeknight to spend an evening with us. And, special thanks to Goldfish Pretzels for making it happen! I’ve received so many kind e-mails and tweets from attendees who didn’t realize just how delicious the snacks really were – think they’re great now? Try dipping them in melted cheese! (#sogood)

In case you missed the event, fear not! Please join us for a #GoldfishMoments Twitter Party on Tuesday, October 2nd at 8pm EST. It’s no secret that Goldfish crackers have been known to unleash smiles (and stop the tears!), often saving the day by satisfying a snack attack and helping parents create special moments with their kids.  We call these our #GoldfishMoments – and we’ll be chatting about YOUR Goldfish Moments at the Twitter Party.

(We may also have a few AMAZING prizes up our sleeves – trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!)…

Join Goldfish Pretzels & Me for a Night of Snacking!

September 10, 2012 By Lena

***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.
