Libby's Jumbo Fruit Cups: GIVEAWAY!

**Winner has been notified**

When I worked outside the home, I was always searching for great portable snacks to take to work with me. I usually packed my lunch every day, and brought a few extra snacks for those mid-day munchies. Since I was doing my best to avoid the vending machines, I wanted my snacks to be as healthy as possible, yet shelf-stable so I could leave them in my desk drawer. I tried buying fruit cups, but the portions were so small they barely satisfied my hunger. Also, what a mess! Every time I'd open one, I'd get fruit juice all over my desk...or myself! I eventually quit buying them.

Now I'm a stay-at-home-mom, and my toddler loves fruit! He eats plenty of fresh fruit, like apples and bananas. But other fruits are harder for him to manage on his own. I buy fruit cups with peaches and mixed fruit for him, but they're still so messy!

Thankfully, Libby's has solved my fruit cup woes. To launch their "Fruitification of America" campaign, they're introducing new 6-ounce Jumbo Cups!

Libby's Jumbo Cups will hit store shelves in September, just in time for lunch box season! They'll be available in four varieties; Diced Peaches, Diced Pears, Mixed Fruit, and Cherry Mixed Fruit. Each package includes three 6-ounce cups, and will retail for $3.39.

In comparison to other fruit cups, Libby's Jumbo Cups have 50 percent more fruit per cup! (so they'll satisfy those snack attacks much better!). Libby's Jumbo Cups are also thicker and sturdier, and have an easy-open tab (so they shouldn't spill all over your desk and lap!).

**WIN IT**

One of you won't have to wait until September to try the new Libby's Jumbo Cups! One reader will win a sampler pack, including two cups of each variety!

sturdier cups- do not spill over as much and more snack in the cup

MOMFOREVERANDEVER said...

mandarin oranges

Traumajunky said...

I like that they come with the metal peel off lid. We've had several accidents with the plastic peel off cover.

Traumajunky said...

Diced peaches would probably be our favorite.

Katrina said...

Easy open tab - sounds like it will create much less of a mess!

It may sound silly but I think I'd like that they have an easy-open tab. I always spill when trying to pull plastic lids off!

Erica C. said...

I agree that 50% more is the best thing...but being easier to open is great too...I always wind up splashing myself with fruit juice!

cstironkat said...

I like that they have 50% more fruit, I like to eat these for breakfast and this would be the perfect size.

mindy said...

i like that the peel off lid is metal thanks

Pam said...

I like that the top has a raised edge so it looks like it would be much less likely to spill! Plus the larger size is a bonus as my kids could easily eat the larger side.

Thanks!

Got to be the new bigger size! Yes, I know it's a shame Americans are getting so used to big portions, but if we're going to eat big, let's make it fruit! Diced pears are my favorite.

Patti K said...

I like these because my hubby eats 2 at a time of the regular sized fruit cups. These larger ones are better because there might be some left in the fridge for me!

TZel said...

We would love the greater serving size! Thank you!

camper223 said...

I like the fact that it can provide more for those with a heartier appetite. It saves money instead of having to buy 2 of the original the bigger size works.
for our needs.

Thank you so very very much

The easy open tab is definitely a plus for me. I know it sounds silly but I always have trouble opening those plastic ones, I always end up spilling the juice of ripping the plastic in half, and having to dig around it. This feature looks much more convenient. Thanks for the great giveaway!

i think diced peached would be my favorite variety- i love peaches and with the mixed fruit types there is usually something in there i'm not too fond of.

Angel said...

Bigger serving for hungry kids!

Steph said...

I like that they're thicker and sturdier packages. I've dropped the other kind and they crack every time.

I'd like the cherry mixed fruit.

Although 50% more fruit is a real plus the best thing I can see is that they are easier to open. I don't know how many times I spilled juice everywhere because the cup was so hard to open.

I love peaches so I think that would be my favorite although I love all kinds of fruit.
