Ruffles and Fast X have announced a new partnership as a way to celebrate the upcoming film and provide snack lovers with a way to win some exclusive prizes. The partnership will consist of special edition Ruffled potato chip packaging with street racing vehicles from the film franchise and will be paired with a campaign to offer free tickets through Fandango alongside film merchandise. The campaign will see one winner take home a 2023 Dodge Charger R/T to help them live out their fantasy of being part of the franchise.
Senior Vice President of Marketing, Frito-Lay North America Stacy Taffet spoke on the Ruffles and Fast X campaign saying, "Ruffles is all about having confidence in your personal ridges—everything that makes you who you are. The Fast Saga has long symbolized that same pride in individuality, so we knew Ruffles snackers would be excited to experience Fast X with us beyond the big screen."
