‘A Taste of Twilight’ at Haagen Dazs
Häagen-Dazs has partnered with Viva International Pictures for the “A Taste of Twilight” promo in time for the silver screen debut of Twilight.
The love story behind Twilight combined with the rich indulgent flavors of Häagen-Dazs resulted in three dreamy flavor combinations — Dazzled at First Sight (caramel apple crumble with coffee), A Kiss in the Meadow (a combination of dark Belgian chocolate and berries ice cream), and Claire de Lune (choco chip cookies with mango passion fruit) — called Flavors of Twilight sparked by scenes depicting the love between a vampire and a mortal.
The three flavor combinations are available in leading supermarkets and Häagen-Dazs shops in Metro Manila.
“A Taste of Twilight” promo gives Häagen-Dazs aficionados a chance to watch Twilight for free. Every purchase of two Häagen-Dazs pints or multi-packs is equivalent to a free cinema pass. Every purchase worth P780 at Häagen-Dazs shops extends the same privilege. Promo runs until Dec. 20.
