In celebration of National Ice Cream Month, Baskin-Robbins recently launched a new campaign called 'Flavour Slam.' The new marketing initiative encourages Canadian guests to create their own ice cream flavor combinations by "slamming together" two of the brand's current flavors. Some flavors that Baskin-Robbins will promote include Birthday Cake, Key Lime Pie, and Mom’s Winning Cookie -- to name a few.
“July is the perfect time to flex those creative muscles and try something refreshingly new,” says Natalie Joseph, a spokesperson for Baskin-Robbins Canada. “Flavour Slam is all about enjoying the process of creating a custom treat that fits you. It’s a celebration of our guests as well as a way to commemorate National Ice Cream Month.”
