Cartoon-Celebrating Snack Branding

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Popchips and The Garfield Movie Partnered for New Branding

— April 24, 2024 — Marketing
Popchips and The Garfield Movie have announced a partnership that will see the better-for-you snack brand putting the namesake feline cartoon character front and center on its latest Nacho-flavored snack.

The partnership between the Our Home brand and Columbia Pictures/Alcon Entertainment will see Garfield lounging on the front of Popchips Nacho snacks to help celebrate the upcoming film. The limited-edition branding is expected to help catch the attention of shoppers, while the product's non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free and low-calorie profile will likely support a purchase.

Chief Growth Officer of Our Home Marshall Osborne spoke on the Popchips and The Garfield Movie partnership saying, "Coming in with the big cheesy energy, Popchips Nacho is the perfect snack for Garfield to munch on and feel the freedom of finishing the whole bag. The amusing movie scene wonderfully captures the chip's satisfying flavor and crunch that you just can't stop eating. Garfield loves it, and we know snackers everywhere will too."
