Rold Gold rebrands, debuts new look

The updated design stays true to the brand's signature gold and blue color scheme.

Rold Gold rebrands, debuts new look
June 28, 2022

Company: Frito-Lay

Website: www.fritolay.com

Introduced: June 2022

Distribution: National

Suggested Retail Price: $3.69

Product Snapshot: Rold Gold is turning 106 years old and is marking the occasion by giving away more than $106,000 in gold bars through its new Gold Hunters campaign. In addition, the famed pretzels will debut a more modern, evolved style when its new packaging arrives in supermarkets this summer. The updated design stays true to Rold Gold's signature gold and blue color scheme while bringing a brighter, fresher energy to traditionally muted pretzel aisles.

Launching today, Gold Hunters spotlights Rold Gold's pop culture legacy as this limited-time program sends fans on a hunt to find Rold Gold hidden in the background of their favorite television shows, movies, sports, and music that span decades, all for a chance to win real gold.

Now through September 11, pretzel fans can tune into Rold Gold's social media channels, including @RoldGold (Twitter), to find clues that point to '80s film classics, iconic '90s sitcoms, recent comedy and drama shows, sporting events, non-Rold Gold advertising, and more moments where they'll find Rold Gold, including the brand's newest bag design. Clues will also pop up on digital platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, and IMDB throughout the campaign, and all clues will be live on RoldGold.com as of June 27.

Consumers who solve the clues—or spot Rold Gold on their own—can share they've "found gold" on Twitter using #FoundGold and #Entry, or by simply commenting on the initiating tweet with the two hashtags. With that, they'll be entered to be one of 60 random winners who will take home part of the more than $106,000 in real gold.

Actor, comedian, host, and pop culture expert Joel McHale joins Rold Gold's Gold Hunters campaign—acting as a clue himself as he teases a pop culture moment in which he and Rold Gold both appear. McHale will share his Gold Hunters clue via his Instagram on July 6.

"Like Rold Gold, I've been showing up in pop culture for a really long time and would even consider myself a pop culture authority," said McHale. "In fact, Rold Gold and I share some on-screen credits—and if pretzel fans can figure out where our film careers have overlapped, they'll have a shot at winning a gold bar. Here are a few hints: friends, housewife, scheme, inspector."

"Rold Gold has been intertwined in culture for more than a century, not only showing up for pretzel lovers as their go-to snack, but also appearing in some of our favorite cultural moments with some of our favorite personalities, like Joel," said Flavia Simoes, senior director of marketing at Frito-Lay. "We want to celebrate Rold Gold's legacy as both a beloved snack food and as a staple in American pop culture. Our Gold Hunters campaign and latest bag design speak to Rold Gold's enduring relevancy."
