You Could Win a Trip to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week by Entering
The Fiber One Great Taste Giveaway
According to a survey by Fiber One Bars, the “Official Snack” of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, sixty-five percent (65%) of consumers say they regret not stashing a snack in their bags when hunger pangs hit and they don’t have access to food. Furthermore, if healthy snacks aren’t readily available, fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans would most likely eat chips or crackers, or a candy bar (36%) to fight off hunger pangs. To help consumers avoid regrettable decisions and encourage “great taste,” Fiber One is partnering with Celebrity Style Expert, Bobbie Thomas, to launch the Fiber One Great Taste Giveaway and encourage smart snacking on-the-go.
“From fashion week to work events, I seem to always be on-the-run and need a delicious treat to keep me going,” said Thomas. “Being prepared is stylish and Fiber One Bars are the perfect accessory to stash in your handbag for unexpected moments when hunger pangs hit. I’m excited to be teaming up with Fiber One surrounding their Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week sponsorship and to help launch The Great Taste Giveaway.”
