Macaroni-Shaped Body Pillows

Smashburger Has Created Limited-edition Macaroni-Shaped Body Pillows

— February 19, 2023 — Marketing
Smashburger is celebrating the launch of its new S’mac & Cheese Burger by giving away a number of limited-edition macaroni-shaped body pillows.

Smashburger's new S’mac & Cheese Burger brings together two of America's favorite foods: burgers and mac & cheese. To mark the launch of this culinary mashup, the brand has created a limited number of macaroni-shaped body pillows. The idea is to give consumers some comfort food and some comfy pillows to get them through the long and sometimes lonely days of winter.

For a chance to win one of the few macaroni-shaped body pillows, Smashburger is asking consumers to visit its Instagram page and follow the instructions in the post to enter. Just 75 lucky 'Smash Fans' will end up with some mac and cheese decor on March 1, 2023.
