August and September 2020 will go down in the Fluffy Crunch records as the time that we joined forces with Australia’s first and favourite chicken shop - Red Roster to create one of our most unique flavours, the Tropicana.
Inspired by the iconic Reds Pineapple Fritter we created a special edition gourmet fairy floss that had hints of pineapple and a pinch of Reds famous chicken salt.
As a husband and wife team, running a business means things like cooking at home are a rare event in the Fluffy Crunch household. So like most Australian (or at least we hope so) we lean towards our local eateries for support. After sharing a few posts about our dinner one night the team at Red Rooster reached out and wondered if we would be interested in creating something special….ah hell yeah.
Being huge fans of Red Rooster, we decided to collaborate and come up with a unique ‘Red Roosterfied’ fairy floss flavour – when they asked us can we create something with the restaurant chains famous chicken salt we thought they were nuts. What started as a bit of an experiment and a bit of a laugh became an amazing collaboration as we got the opportunity to raise some much-needed money for Foodbank Australia* and created an unexpected twist...the Tropicana.
Red Rooster originally supplied us with merchandise for 100 Tropicana Boxes but these were scooped up in a matter of days. We reached out to the marketing team and secured another 200 sets and the rest is history.
The media quickly caught on to our efforts to raise money for Foodbank Australia and started to share our sweet collaboration. We were fortunate enough to be featured on 7news.com.au and on kiss1065.com
We just wanted to finish by sending a massive thank you to Red Rooster and to everyone who supported this crazy collaboration as your generosity in ordering the Tropicana Boxes allowed this partnership to contribute to the cost of over 400 meals to Foodbank Australia, so they could help those who needed it most right now.
