Chips and salsa are snacking staples, especially during football season, and Tostitos teamed up with wide receiver Julian Edelman to introduce Tostitos Salsa Cereal, a tidier way to snack.
From the TikTok-viral "nature's cereal" made with coconut water and berries to cookie cereal and pancake cereal, consumers are reintroducing themselves to familiar foods by indulging differently with a bowl and spoon. Tostitos' Salsa Cereal is a savory twist on the concept that turns a snackable game day staple into a treat that's less messy to eat.
Inspired by an offbeat online recipe, Tostitos created limited-edition Salsa Cereal kits featuring Edelman. To win a unique snack box, fans are invited to engage with the brand on Instagram.
