Sensorial Horror-Inspired Hard Ciders

Angry Orchard Introduced its Hide & Shriek Prank Pack

Angry Orchard has introduced its limited-edition 'Hide & Shriek Prank Pack,' which features cans that cleverly disguise themselves as the classic 'Angry Orchard Crisp Apple' flavor. However, subtle Halloween-themed hints indicate that these cans are anything but typical.

This prank pack can be placed in a refrigerator or cooler during Halloween celebrations, adding an element of surprise to the festivities. When individuals open a can for their first sip, they "will encounter an unexpected and startling sound—a loud, blood-curdling scream."

Matt Withington, Senior Director of Marketing at Angry Orchard, stated, "Halloween is rooted in treats, tricks, and permission to be playfully unfiltered." With this prank pack, the brand aims to capture the spirit of the season, encouraging consumers to embrace their playful, mischievous sides in the name of Halloween fun as the Hide & Shriek Prank Pack offers a unique and entertaining experience for fans of Angry Orchard.
