Chobani Flip Greek Yogurt has introduced a special-edition Halloween multipack featuring smart packaging for an interactive experience. The packaging includes themed designs with QR codes, allowing users to access an augmented reality (AR) experience that "offers family-friendly activities and the chance to win prizes like cameras, skateboards, and beanbags."
Notably, each of the eight flavors is paired with a unique AR world, featuring animated characters and activities based on the flavor profile. The AR experience also provides "audiovisual content, product details, and contest information while the multipack itself, contains four 4.5-ounce single-serve cups, with external packaging designed by UK artist Super Freak, known for bold, colorful illustrations."
The limited-edition flavors include 'Pumpkin Harvest Crisp,' 'Almond Coco Loco,' 'Peanut Butter Cup,' 'S'more S'mores,' 'Cookie Dough,' 'Key Lime Crumble,' 'Cookies & Cream,' and 'Strawberry Cheesecake.' QR codes can be scanned through November 1, or while supplies last.
