It's True: Parents Count Down Days Until Kids Are Back In School…and Frito-Lay Rewards Them For Surviving The Summer Craze
Frito-Lay Variety Packs Asks Parents Nationwide to Submit Inspirational Photos for the Chance to Win Prizes
PLANO, Texas, July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In just a few short weeks, parents will be transitioning from hectic summer schedules to the familiar routine of the school year… much to the chagrin of parents nationwide. While summer is often thought of as a vacation and time to relax, it's not always a picnic for parents.
In fact, according to a recent Frito-Lay Variety Packs survey, more than half of parents with a child in grades K-12 feel relieved when their child goes back to school. So this year, Frito-Lay Variety Packs, one of the flagship brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, is working to make sure parents are free to celebrate the relief of back to school and have the right tools to celebrate. And Frito-Lay is giving moms and dads a chance to win big every hour until everyone is back in school.
"Summer is always thought of as a vacation for the kids and can often be stressful for parents, so we wanted to make a program that celebrates the unsung heroes of summer – the parents," said Jeannie Cho, vice president of marketing, Frito-Lay North America. "We all know that happy parents equals a happy family. So why not have a little fun and reward parents for making it through the summer and setting their kids up for the best possible school year."
Frito-Lay is asking parents nationwide to submit original inspirational photos and captions showcasing their favorite ways to countdown to or celebrate the first day of school on www.fritolayvarietypacks.com. The site will serve as a hub where parents tell their side of the back-to-school story, get inspiration from other parents and share their own rituals. Two lucky parents who submit will be randomly selected to win the grand prize – the Ultimate Parent Prize Pack Bundle – featuring an Amazon Echo, a Panasonic home theater system and an all-expenses-paid trip for two to a Secrets Resort. Additionally, parents who purchase Frito-Lay Variety Packs can win one of the prizes featured in the bundle instantaneously, with prizes awarded every hour, by using the on-package promotional code.
