In celebration of Pride, Pop-Tarts recently launched its first-ever Pride box titled 'NEON Pink Block Party Lemonade.' The new box features stunning and vibrant designs created by illustrator Thaddeus Coates. The limited-edition box was launched in partnership with NEONxGLAAD, a collective of artists and ingenious creators that leverage the power of storytelling to increase the visibility of Black LGBTQ+ people.
Thaddeus Coates, an illustrator and influencer, created a unique work of art for this program, called "Issa Block Party," that illustrates the theme "One of a Kind, But Never Alone," and highlights the joy of being part of LGBTQ+ and BIPOC families. In addition, Pop-Tarts commissioned independent artists to create lively images that are edible and printed on the frosting.
Pop-Tarts will launch 450 boxes of NEON Pink Block Party Lemonade Pop-Tarts on its Instagram shop, available for purchase for $5. Each Friday during Pride month, there will be an additional 450 boxes available for purchase and one of four LGBTQ+ and BIPOC partner organizations will be featured on Pop-Tarts' social media channels.
