Aunt Julie Launches Her First POPrs Giveaway!

Since Veggie Mom didn't give me any instructions on how to run a contest, I'm winging it!

I'm launching my first POPrs Giveaway! Uncle Lynn, sweet Hubby that he is, has authorized me to give away a 10-pack pouch of our magic color-changing crystals for yogurt...or any other good food you want to make magical. These POPrs are great on applesauce, as well, and good for you, too!

You may recall past prizes have been POPrs in little shaker jars. Well, now we have the color change variety (my favorite) in a pouch. It is the same product we sell at Festival Foods.

This is a really COOL product. We placed it on the counter in a local gas station, in Wrightstown, WI, where our plant is located, with absolutely no advertising at all. The case of pouches (24) sold out the same day! And in a gas station, not a big convenience store!

We're also selling these Color-Changing POPrs in the yogurt aisle of Festival Foods grocery stores in Northeastern Wisconsin. Uncle Lynn has had an incredibly positive response to his new seasoning, which is not only fun, but good for you, too!

All you need to do to WIN is...comment in this space all this week about why you want to try POPrs. Maybe you have kids you want to coax to eat yogurt, without buying the kiddie brands, with all the nonsense and high price. Maybe YOU want to see what the fuss is all about!

This new POPrs Giveaway runs through Thursday, July 16, at 11:59 p.m., EST. And I'll announce our winner right here on Friday morning as part of Candid Carrie's Foto Finish Fiesta.

So, let us know why you'd like to try POPrs. It's that easy. Good Luck!

POPrs Sing for Candid Carrie

Wanted to share a couple more photos of Uncle Lynn's first foray into retail. Here's Soccer Boy trying to act all "professional," at the Festival Foods Store in Fon du Lac, WI...


...and a young customer who is SO SURPRISED that POPrs make her yogurt "sing"! Isn't this expression priceless?

Playing along today with Candid Carrie's Friday Foto Finish Fiesta. If you're in the neighborhood, come on out to Festival Foods and try some POPrs. This fun, delicious and good-for-you seasoning is in the yogurt aisle.

Wordful Wednesday: Festival Foods Welcomes POPrs!

First things first. Please vote for Kathleen and Veronica. They're headed for the Winner's Circle, I just KNOW it!

No, you're not seeing things, POPrs Fans! Your favorite fun AND nutritious seasoning is now on grocery store shelves. Specifially, in Festival Foods stores in Wisconsin!

Uncle Lynn's introduction of the new retail version of POPrs is designed for yogurt, though it of course tastes just as delish on pudding, applesauce, etc. Uncle Lynn has put together seven demo teams, which go into the stores Friday afternoons, Saturdays and Sundays to entice shoppers with this awesome product. So if you're a Wisconsinite, journey out to Festival Foods soon and get your POPrs fix!

And if you're not from Wisconsin? Well, I just think you should march down to your local grocery store and DEMAND that they include POPrs in their yogurt aisle. Tell 'em you want to make your food sing, too, and that Veggie sent ya!

Let me let Uncle Lynn explain a little bit: "Our POPrs retail roll-out has been going over VERY well," he explains. "We are also planning some radio spots to support the introduction, and hope we can get enough people to know about it that we can expand out from here. From 13 local Festival stores to 2,500 Krogers, perhaps?"

Uncle Lynn says you can still buy POPrs online, and he's also now offering the new logo POPrs hats and shirts as well. And tune in to his POPrs Web site to watch a new video, too!

Of course, Uncle Lynn wouldn't be where he is today without the continuing support of all his POPrs Pals, who continue to come back and visit Eat Your Veggies! and keep rooting for this thing to take off in a big way. Our unofficial, but nevertheless quite enthusiastic POPrs "PR" gal and Previous POPrs Winner (that would be Lula, natch!) says we should aim for QVC now. Whaddaya think?

Thanks for everything, friends, and just so ya know: I'm participating in Angie's Wordful Wednesday today. You should, too!
