That reminds me. I still need to find a costume! What do you think about the idea of being SuperGum? It´s a bird, it´s a plane, it´s a mean, green, chewing machine! 

…You´re right. Okay, back to the drawing board.

A Hit for Halloween: Mini Glee Variety is Sheer Poetry!

Friday, October 10th, 2008

As I have mentioned, Halloween is upon us. And it seems like everyone is getting into the spooky spirit of the thing!

For a neat article on the subject, check out “Sustaina-Boo!” at www.grist.org. This environmental news & commentary site suggests giving Glee Gum to trick-or-treaters. Whatta GOOD IDEA!

Then stop by www.gorgeouslygreen.com for eco-author Sophie Uliano´s tips on making Halloween more “eeeko” friendly. She thinks Glee Gum is perfect for the occasion too! Read on for other cool ideas from costumes to candles right here.

While you´re stocking up on sweet ideas for the season, consider our new Mini Glee Variety Pack! The 4-piece packs of Glee inside are just the right size for sharing with your kindly neighborhood goblins and ghouls. 

The Mini Glee Variety Pack is available online and at lots of stores around the country. In celebration of this fact, I have composed a little poem. Please try to contain your excitement!



O, Mini Glee Variety Pack
Filled with the gum I love to smack

Triple Berry, Tangerine, and Bubblegum too
In French I must say: 
Je t´aime beaucoup!

You´re the perfect medly for purse or pinata
And what can beat that? Really… 
nada!

In any language, you make the best possible snack
So thank you, dear sweet Variety Pack!

….

I know, I know. Don´t quit my day job!

Until next time, gum chums, I remain your humble, happy Glee Guy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Have a GREEN Halloween!

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Halloween is nearly here! Wonder how I will dress up? I don´t mind tellin´ ya, it´s awful hard to find a costume that fits over my huge head! And I am absolutely NOT going to be a tomato… again…

Of course, with Halloween just around the corner, it means that lots and lots of CANDY is too. And nothing tastes as sweet as an eco-friendly treat! That’s why Glee Gum is thrilled to participate in Green Halloween® this year! Forget orange and black. With a month full of events in cities across the U.S., this community movement is adding some much-needed GREEN to Halloween! 

Green Halloween® is a non-profit, grassroots organization striving to create healthier, eco-friendlier holidays– beginning with Halloween. Now in its second year, the movement is all about educating and inspiring communities by showing how easy, affordable, and fun it can be to factor our earth and our health into our daily choices. In a show of support, Glee Gum is donating over ten thousand samples for Green Halloween® events in six different cities: Seattle, WA, Canton, CT, Phoenix, AZ, Daytona Beach, FL, Los Angeles, CA and the Bay Area, CA. That´s a lot of gum!

From a pumpkin prowl at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle to a spookfest at the Little Green Tambourine in Canton, events with Green Halloween® are sure to be a scream! And Green Halloween® booths will also be cropping up at lots of local festivals and eco-friendly stores to chat with interested parents and hand out tasty treats to tots. You can learn more about the movement and find fun events near you at the Green Halloween® website.

Green Halloween® is a program of Treeswing, a non-profit based in Seattle which aims to improve kids’ health and prevent childhood obesity. Quite a noble cause! 

So have a happier, healthier, GREENer Halloween this year. And remember, eco-friendly eating makes for sweeter trick-or-treating!
