Stock up on these specially shaped nuggets for
the start of the Razorback® football team tailgate and homegate
season as you cheer your beloved Hogs to victory
SPRINGDALE, Ark., July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Football fever is kicking into
high gear, and two treasured Arkansas brands are teaming up to let fans
express their love for tailgating and game day parties with the
launch of Tyson® Razorback™ Nuggets. Fans can support
their team this fall with Tyson® brand's
white meat nuggets designed in the shape of the University of Arkansas's iconic hog mascot.
Headquartered in Northwest
Arkansas, home to the University of
Arkansas, the Tyson® team is steeped
in the Razorback® fandom that inspired the creation of the
special nuggets. The announcement just three months ago that
legendary Hall of Fame coach John
Calipari would take over as the Razorback® head
basketball coach sparked a new level of excitement among
tried-and-true Hogs fans and a steady chorus of calls arose to do
something to celebrate their beloved Razorbacks® in a
special way.
"Tyson Foods is in Razorback® Country, most of our team
members are huge Razorback® fans and our consumers have been
calling for a way to celebrate their team. We've listened and are
excited to deliver Tyson® Razorback™ Nuggets to Arkansas fans in time for the football
season," said Kristina Lambert, SVP
& GM Retail Value Added Poultry, Tyson Foods. "These nuggets
are perfect for upcoming game day events and just in time for
tailgating, so stock up!"
"When Arkansas fans cheer on our teams this season they will be
inspired by their passion for the Hogs and fueled by the new Tyson®
Razorback™ Nuggets," said Hunter
Yurachek, University of Arkansas
Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. "With these two iconic
Arkansas brands teaming up, the
Razorback™ Nation will be primed and ready to 'Call the Hogs' from
pre-game to post-game while showing their loyal support of our more
than 460 Razorback™ student-athletes."
The Razorback™ Nuggets join the collection of Tyson Foods fun
nuggets that also includes Spooky Nuggets shaped like ghosts, bats
and pumpkins, and the perennial kid-favorite Dino Nugget. They are
an excellent source of protein with 13 grams per serving, fully
cooked and skillfully breaded, and are ready in under seven minutes
in an air fryer. They can be found in the freezer aisle of select
Walmart stores in early August and select Sam's Club locations
in September.
