Vegetables are superfoods in real life and Knorr's #ModTheVeg was created to get more video game players chasing after them as in-game power-ups. Widely popular games like Minecraft, Fortnite and Skyrim offer more rewards for players who go after in-game meats than vegetables, and Knorr stepped up to remedy this with the aid of the MullenLowe UK agency.
This global campaign inspired by modding culture introduces vegetable mods that make in-game veggies super powerful and super rewarding. Ninja, one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, kicked off the campaign in Fortnite.
Now, Knorr is calling for more game publishers to incorporate them into their titles. What's more, Knorr wants to see players' best mod ideas shared with the #ModTheVeg tag.
