This kinda/sorta Fourth of July-themed Fun Friday edition kicks off with a summer contest: Mondelēz International's Ritz brand's Ritz Salty Club Giveaway, offering consumers a chance to score tickets to the summer's most hotly anticipated, sold-out residency, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí in Puerto Rico.

The Ritz brand initially unveiled The Salty Club in its first-ever Big Game commercial earlier this year, which featured a special appearance by Bad Bunny. Sponsoring the artist's No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency is a testament to the brand's mission to modernize and reach consumers in fresh and authentic ways, it says.

As the official snacking sponsor of the residency, the Ritz Salty Club will host guests on a first come, first-serve basis at this exclusive experience with Puerto Rican flair. The Ritz Salty Club experience comes complete with a salty-themed photo booth and an opportunity to take home exclusive Ritz merch, including a limited-edition Ritz Crackers box featuring artwork nodding to the residency.

Consumers can enter the Ritz Salty Club Giveaway for a chance to win tickets for either the Aug. 8 or 9 residency dates taking place at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Thirty (30) lucky winners will receive a pair of tickets to either residency date with all travel and accommodation costs to and from Puerto Rico covered by the RITZ brand.

For more information on the Ritz Salty Club pop-up and giveaway, and to enter for a chance to win, visit ritzsaltyclubgiveaway.com.

MoonPie to match "Patriotic Pies" donations to troops during week of July 4th

MoonPie, the original graham cracker-marshmallow sandwich, has a tasty way to celebrate service members this Independence Day. For the week leading up to the Fourth of July, the All-American snack cake brand will match designated MoonPie donations to active-duty service members and ship freshly made "Patriotic Pies" free of charge directly from Chattanooga Bakery to troops via the USO. Consumers may visit moonpie.com/patrioticpies to purchase Mini MoonPies for service members and opt in to have their MoonPie order matched, through July 4.

Mini MoonPies are available in red, white, and blue (strawberry, vanilla, and blueberry) with "Once in a Blue Moon" blueberry MoonPies having launched in 2024. In addition to classic chocolate, vanilla, banana, and salted caramel flavors, seasonal limited-edition flavors like lemon and pumpkin spice may also appear. Chattanooga Bakery makes over one million MoonPies a day and has a goal of distributing one million Patriotic Pies through its ongoing fundraising program in 2025.

Chattanooga Bakery works with the USO, Friends Of The Troops, and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) to distribute Patriotic Pies to active-duty troops on military bases stateside and overseas, as well as to veterans year round. Tennessee-based, veteran-owned Averitt transports them for free to U.S. bases. MoonPies are also gifted to service members during deployment flight departures and arrivals. Last year, MoonPie shipped Patriotic Pies to Greenland for Space Force troops to enjoy a taste of home.
