A Trip Down Memory Lane with RediscoveReese's Throwback Fair
Last August 2, I was invited to attend the RediscoverReese's Throwback Festival at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. It was basically the first major event that Reese's had in the Philippines. The aim was to educate the public about Reese's rich history and why it is considered the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
Upon arrival I was greeted with this signage, which then led me to the registration booth.
After registration, I was given a stamp card, which I had to complete by partaking in different physical and mental challenges. The card also served as an access pass to the concert by Itchyworms and Never The Strangers later that day.
Among the line-up of activities, I enjoyed Reese's Pop A Nut Bar the most, which involves popping some Reese's themed balloons through darts. I popped all four balloons with just 5 attempts.
Here are the other Reese's-themed activities lined up during that day:
Here's my very candid photo taken at the Reese's Trick Art photo booth.
I really enjoyed that day and all the activities that Reese's had come up with. I just had to leave before the public start flocking the event. Cheers to Reese's and everyone who organized the event!
A Trip Down Memory Lane with RediscoveReese's Throwback Fair
A trip down memory lane revealed the rich history of the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Everyone enjoyed learning fascinating trivia about the Reese’s brand through six fascinating Reese’s brand themed fair booths. Take the Reese’s game challenged attendees to complete a word task by jumping as high as they can to get the Reese’s logo. Reese’s Re-word Mash, an all-time favorite Word Mash game, challenged the consumers to mix and match words to discover a secret message.
A fair won’t be complete without a ball-throwing booth, and Reese’s version, Knock Out a Reese’s Cup, became one of the instant favorites. People who went to the Reese’s Shoot that Cup booth got a chance to immerse themselves in the tantalizing sweet and salty flavor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.
Where there’s a fair, there’s always a Pop the Balloon booth. Kids and parents enjoyed popping Reese’s themed balloons at the Reese’s Pop A Nut Bar while learning the key ingredients of Reese’s. One of the most popular booths was the Reese’s Trick Art where people snapped photos of themselves with the oversized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Reese’s Nut Bar. After the attendees completed the Reese’s trail each of them got free Reese’s brand gift packs and special merchandise.
Fans also had the opportunity to try Reese’s infused offerings from Mrs. Fields Cookies and other vendors. Through the Reese’s Happy Hour and fun activity trail, lucky attendees took home packs of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Nut Bars.
Self-confessed Reese’s lovers like celebrity stylist and showbiz royalty Alyanna Martinez, Air Asia Volleyball Team athlete Melissa Gohing, local pro-surfer Luke Landrigan, top blogger David Guison and top beauty blogger and model Kelly Misa and Philippine Azkals Hottie Phil Younghusband attended the fair to indulge their love of the chocolate brand and to interact with fellow Reese’s fans.
To complement indulgent addiction for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, top local bands Itchyworms and Never The Strangers regaled guests with their biggest hits, capping off the fun and unforgettable fair that made everyone rediscover the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter cups.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, created and named after Harry Burnette Reese, is a chocolate coated peanut butter snack coated in rich milk chocolate. In the Philippines, it comes in two-cup and one-cup packs.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s Nut Bar will be available in all leading supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide beginning August 2014. Two-cup 34g version and Reese’s Nut Bar are priced at PhP 35 (Suggested Retail Price), while one-cup 17g is PhP 19.
