RED BARON® & Anthony 'Spice' Adams Team Up
RED BARON®, the popular frozen pizza brand, is delivering the next fantasy football punishment, in collaboration with former NFL Defensive tackle Anthony 'Spice' Adams, who played for the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears. The partnership has resulted in the creation of the Humble Pie.
The Humble Pie is a small, deep-dish pizza featuring an extreme heat profile from ingredients including Carolina Reaper sauce, Ghost Pepper flakes, and habanero peppers. RED BARON® and Anthony 'Spice' Adams frame this pizza creation as a humorous punitive consequence for the individual who finishes last in a fantasy football league. The brand offered this fantasy football punishment for free between December 4th and December 15th. The promotion further incentivized social media sharing by promising complimentary regular pizzas to all league members if the recipient posted about the experience online.
