Teal Pumpkins, Red Sneakers, and Absurd Snacks
Guest Blog by Absurd Snacks
SPOOKY SEASON IS UPON US and we have some wild plans on making the Teal Pumpkin Project our biggest splash yet.
For those who may not know, the Teal Pumpkin Project was started by Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) to bring the ✨magic✨back to Halloween by offering non-food goodies so that EVERYONE can have a fun and safe trick-or-treat night.
Some examples of allergy-safe goodies include stickers, fun pencils, slinkies, etc. You can find a long list of ideas here! FARE has also come up with super easy ways that all of us can get involved in the Teal Pumpkin Project. One example is the TPP Map, where you can list your house on a digital map to share that you will have safe, non-food goodies available on trick-o-treat night. List your home and learn other ways to get involved on FARE’s website here.
We are also bacckkkkkk with another fun collaboration for the upcoming Halloween holiday. If you’ve been following along over the last few years, you may have seen our scavenger hunt in 2022 where our home address got leaked on the news (lolll), or our spooky giveaway in 2023. Well, it’s 2024 and we’re back and scarier and tealer than ever.
This year, we’ve partnered up with Red Sneakers for Oakley (RSFO), a non-profit organization that advocates for education around food allergy awareness through programs that have reached millions across the globe. RSFO has some incredible programs like hosting Red Sneaker Days, an ambassador program that enables individuals to raise awareness in their own communities, and even kickstarting a globally recognized movement on the annual International Red Sneakers Day.
In spirit of Halloween and the Teal Pumpkin Project, from now until November 1, we’ll be including extra surprises in ALL orders placed through our website (absurdsnacks.com). Bracelets? Stickers? Glow sticks? T-shirt? All of the above? You’ll have to order to find out.
If you’re still here, you rock. We wanna let you in on a little secret…
