Chex Mix(R) Online Promotion Features New Video of End Zone
Celebration Greats MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Chex Mix(R) snack mix has brought back together former professional
football players LeRoy Butler, Desmond Howard, Billy "White Shoes"
Johnson, Barry Sanders, "He Hate Me" (Rod Smart) and Ickey Woods to
perform their own and each other's end zone celebrations. Each
week, through November 24, consumers can go to
http://www.celebrationlegends.com/ to watch video of the players'
signature moves and cast their votes to determine which player is
the ultimate end zone celebrator. To view the Multimedia News
Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/chex/34085/ These six
players will go head to head for 10 weeks performing end zone
celebrations, followed by a two-week playoff, Nov. 11 to 24. For
example, one week players will dance Johnson's Funky Chicken,
another week they will attempt Butler's famous leap and yet another
they will imitate the "Ickey Shuffle." Football fans opposed to end
zone celebrations will want to see if Sanders strays from his
trademark move of simply tossing the ball to the official. At the
conclusion of the end zone celebration playoffs, Chex Mix will
donate $10,000 to the winning player's favorite charity. "Chex Mix
is the ultimate football snack, and what better way to celebrate
the football season than with everyone's favorite touchdown
celebrations," says Steve Finnie, Chex Mix Marketing Manager. "This
online promotion provides a great way for fans to celebrate the
classic combination of football and snacking." The
http://www.celebrationlegends.com/ site also features a smack talk
section. Consumers can send pre-recorded messages from the players
to their fantasy football opponent's phone or email a link to a
smack talk video message. Another feature of the site is interviews
with each player. Consumers also can enter the weekly online
sweepstakes drawing to win a large screen HDTV and a season supply
of Chex Mix(R) to enjoy while watching football. About Chex Mix(R)
