Totino’s Mexican Party Pizza Return For Limited Time and Prize Pack Giveaway

 

Totino’s Fans Bring Back Mexican Party Pizza

                David Hlavac really loves Totino’s Mexican Style Party Pizza. So much so that he started Bring Back Totino’s Mexican Style Party Pizza” Facebook page and generated more than 700 followers. General Mills and Totino’s was so moved by his passion that it’s doing just that. For a limited time (March – May 2013) Mexican Style Party Pizza will be reintroduced at select retailers nationwide.

                Hlavac, a Minneapolis professional and father of two, got his wish when Totino’s recently surprised him at work with a Mariachi band, a year’s supply of his favorite pizza, $500 in bonus Box Tops for Education for his children’s elementary school and other prizes.

                “I couldn’t believe Totino’s was actually paying attention,” said Hlavac. “What’s more, they actually went through the process of bringing a product back because a group of us were asking for it. I’m impressed, and now with a year’s supply, I can rest easy for awhile.”

                “We never really know how much consumers latch on to one brand or flavor until it’s gone,” said Carina Sarbaugh, associate marketing manager for Totino’s. “That’s what’s so wonderful about the power of social media, it gives our consumers a platform to tell us how they feel about our products, and we take that very seriously. We’re so happy we could move on this flavor reintroduction given the consumer response, especially for our most loyal fans.”

                The flavor was discontinued in 2007 to make room for other Totino’s offerings and to focus on its core party pizza line. Totino’s Mexican Style Party Pizza includes a crisp crust with taco seasoned chicken and beef pizza toppings including green peppers, onions and cheese toppings. The suggested retail price for the 10 oz package is $1.39.

                “Totino’s was into crowd sourcing long before it was a trend” said DyShaun Muhammad, senior marketing manager for General Mills.” The Totino family built the brand in the 1950’s by listening to their fans and creating recipes based on their preferences. The return of Mexican Style Party Pizza carries on that tradition, but now through the power of social media.”
