Tuesday, Sept. 9
Duda Farm Fresh Foods partners up to celebrate National Ants on a Log Day
Duda and Peanut Butter & Co. applied for this day to be registered and it was granted. From now on, the registrar of the National Day Calendar has designated the second Tuesday of September of each year as National Ants on a Log Day. This day recognizes this iconic and healthy food snack.
Ants on a log is made by spreading peanut butter on celery and placing raisins on top. The snack name was first used in the 1950s. The typical peanut butter version of ants on a log is recommended as a healthy snack by the McKinley Health Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
As the largest grower and processor of celery in the United States and around the world, Duda celebrates and encourages this classic use of celery.
Duda will pay tribute to the creamy and crunchy snack with recipes, a Twitter party on Sept. 10 with lots of prizes, Facebook giveaways and flash promotions and an Instagram contest.
On Instagram, celery lovers are invited to post their favorite #AntsOnaLog snack to #entertowin Peanut Butter from @PeanutButterCo and coupons for #free Dandy Celery. Tag @DandyFreshProduce and @PeanutButterCo and use #AntsOnaLogDay to enter.
“We will share ways to stay traditional with peanut butter and raisins, or mix it up with chocolate peanut butter and pistachios, and just about any other combination you can think of,” said Nichole Towell, director of marketing. “This holiday is timed perfectly with back to school, and by using social media tools we can engage in a fun, fresh way with kids and adults alike.”
