To support the launch of its first-ever double snack pack made for sharing, Lunchables created the CharcuteRing, a friendship ring for foodies. Every wearable charcuterie ring is perfectly sized to fit on two fingers and rest on the back of the hand, providing a tiny surface area to fill with Snackables' bite-sized natural cheese, mini crackers, and sweet treats. Made by Kraft Heinz’s in-house creative agency, The Kitchen, this accessible makes snacking a shared ritual.
The limited-edition CharcuteRing officially drops on National Best Friends Day in June, and it promises to sell out fast to snackers in search of fun yet functional collectibles and those who want to "propose everlasting snack friendship" to a bestie.
