The Hershey Company recently introduced the coolest and sweetest way to experience fresh breath with the launch of Ice Breakers Duo® mints--the ultimate "fruit + cool" flavor sensation. Ice Breakers Duo mints come in two flavors - Raspberry and Strawberry - and combine a sweet, fruity taste with the brand's signature cooling crystals and are available at retailers nationwide.
"Ice Breakers Duo mints offer fans the best of both worlds with a delicious and invigorating fresh breath experience that pairs a sweet, textured fruity side with a cool, smooth minty taste," said Anna Lingeris, spokesperson for the Ice Breakers brand. "We're excited to bring this duality to life through a special partnership with Pandora® and an interactive Facebook® app that gets fans involved by taking a look at both the sweet and cool sides of their personalities."
Pandora Chief Revenue Officer John Trimble said, "Our work with Hershey's allows us to capture the soundtrack of the Ice Breakers brand and gives them the opportunity to connect with their fans, while they are engaged and interacting with the best personalized music experience. We're delighted to offer Ice Breakers brand Facebook fans direct access to the exclusive Pandora radio stations and provide them with the option to share their favorite music discoveries."
