TUMS Launches 'Food Match Cup'

This summer, as soccer enthusiasts come together to support their favorite teams, TUMS is seizing the opportunity to foster a unique connection that goes beyond the pitch. Introducing the 'TUMS Food Match Cup,' the campaign merges the excitement of global soccer with the joy of diverse culinary experiences, promoting solidarity through food.

The campaign is an extension of Haleon's partnership with U.S. Soccer and aims to highlight the flavors, traditions, and passions surrounding soccer's most anticipated tournament. TUMS recognizes that food has the power to unite people, especially during major sporting events. This initiative celebrates that unity by presenting innovative recipe mashups inspired by the competing nations, blending iconic dishes to create unexpected and delicious options.

Unique Culinary Creations

Among the standout dishes featured in the Food Match Cup are:

• - The Plantain Dog: A delightful sweet-and-savory treat that merges flavors from the USA and Paraguay.
• - Kimchi Carnitas Tacos: An exciting fusion of Korean and Mexican culinary traditions, perfect for any taco lover.
• - Raclette Poutine: A comforting combination of Swiss alpine cuisine and a Canadian classic, sure to warm up any match day.

Fans are invited to join in the celebration by visiting TUMSFoodMatchCup.com where they can spin a daily wheel to unlock new recipe mashups based on competing countries. Each recipe comes paired with a recommended TUMS product to enhance the cooking experience.

In addition to the culinary offerings, the site also features exciting prizes, including U.S. Soccer merchandise and a chance to win the grand prize: a $200 Ticketmaster e-gift card.

Engaging the Community

TUMS is taking the Food Match Cup directly to fans with a Food Truck Tour spanning multiple cities including Los Angeles, Houston, Kansas City, Dallas, and New York City. The tour will make 14 stops at notable retailers like Walmart and Kroger, as well as participate in the Gameday Goal Zone Pre-Match Hospitality event at MetLife Stadium. This interactive experience will allow fans to sample tournament-inspired dishes from the TUMS food truck, capturing memories through engaging photo ops, giveaways, and TUMS product samples to ensure heartburn isn't a game-day spoiler.

Collaborating with Culinary Talents

Adding to the excitement of this initiative, notable chef and cookbook author Joshua Weissman has partnered with TUMS to create innovative recipe mashups that embody the spirit of soccer and culinary creativity. "Food and soccer have an incredible ability to bring people together. It’s about connection and creativity, and I’m excited to celebrate global flavors through the Food Match Cup," says Weissman.
