Gold-Plated Carrots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

McCormick Created a 24-Karat Gold Carrot as Part of a Golden Giveaway

— April 8, 2022 — Lifestyle
There's a "golden-worthy giveaway" from McCormick that's happening this holiday season and it gives individuals and families the chance to win a life-size solid gold carrot. The custom-made carrot created by Ben Baller (Ben Yang) and Slauson Steve (Steve Her)'s company IF & Co. weighs nearly 600 grams and features a 14-karat solid gold interior. As part of the giveaway, $100,000 will go to one lucky first-place winner.

This season, McCormick created a "24-Carrot Gold" Ice Cream with Cookie Crumble recipe as a fun way to get people to awaken their inner chef this holiday. The gold theme continues on the Flavor Maker app with even more recipes like "Good as Gold" Carrots as well as other curated selections such as Eggs Over Easter, Everybunny Likes Brunch, and Easter Extras.
