Welcome to TummerTime! TUMS® Takes Over Summertime To Launch On Demand Delivery Service and First Product with Gas Relief

WARREN, N.J., May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TUMS® is celebrating the launch of TUMS® Chewy Bites® with Gas Relief, the first TUMS® product created to help fight both heartburn and gas by taking over everyone's favorite season – summertime.  This summer, summertime becomes TummerTime to help spread the word about the importance of treating heartburn and gas. In cities across the country, food lovers can get on-demand delivery of TUMS® Chewy Bites® with Gas Relief just by tweeting!

Summer is arguably one of the best food seasons – with barbeques, fried foods, festivals and beach treats. However, sometimes the foods that bring the most joy fight back. Heartburn is quite common—up to 20% of Americans suffer from heartburn on a weekly basis. In fact, millennials have the highest rate of heartburn and gas compared to the general population*.   

That's why TUMS® is bringing heartburn and gas relief directly to them! Food lovers in New York City, Chicago, and Atlanta can get their heartburn and gas relief on-demand this summer. Starting today in New York City at 12pm EST, people can simply tweet @TumsTweets using the hashtag #PassTheTUMS for TUMS® Chewy Bites with Gas Relief to send on-demand relief to their gassiest friends. And for a little personal relief, people can tweet #TummerTime to send a delivery straight to their front door. Each delivery includes a TummerTime Relief Kit, filled with the summertime essentials millennials and heartburn sufferers need all season long, including a TummerTime tote bag, a TUMSbler, a trendy food-shaped drink floaty and of course, TUMS® Chewy Bites® with Gas Relief.

"Millennials are all about their food, especially in the summer. Yet the foods they love don't always love them back, causing heartburn and gas," said Amy Sharon, Senior Brand Manager, TUMS®.  "As America's #1 antacid providing fast relief, we're incredibly excited about TummerTime and celebrating the new TUMS® Chewy Bites® with Gas Relief to spread the word about heartburn and gas relief and on-demand delivery."

TUMS® will bring relief to Atlanta on June 21 and in Chicago on July 12. Stay tuned to TUMS Twitter channel (@TumsTweets) for more details about the on-demand heartburn and gas relief in these cities!
