With a name like Byron Pringle, the wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs had to be a natural for a snack promotion.
Pringles is partnering with the namesake player and brand fan, giving him a deal that includes paying him in Pringles and his own signature flavor stack — the “Byron Pringle Kansas City BBQ Stack” featuring Pringles BBQ, Pringles Jalapeño,and Pringles Sour Cream & Onion.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Byron to introduce Tailgating Stacks to fans as football season heats up,” said Gareth Maguire, senior director of marketing for Pringles. “The Tailgating Stacks are a nod to the legendary flavors from each professional football team’s hometown, packed into one crispy, delicious bite. As a brand that prides itself on offering insanely accurate flavors, we’re excited to bring fans a new way to snack during football season.”
Pringle said he grew up eating Pringles, so “joining the Pringles team to celebrate the start of the season has been a dream come true. Beyond getting the chance to partner with an iconic brand, the deal including my own signature stack has me celebrating on and off the field.”
