Blue Diamond Launches the #28XTREMES Challenge

In April, Blue Diamond launched its new line of spicy Blue Diamond XTREMES™ almonds, and things are heating up today with the announcement of the #28XTREMES Challenge** on TikTok and other social media platforms.

The Blue Diamond #28XTREMES Challenge** asks heat-seekers to put their tastebuds to the test by eating 28 Blue Diamond XTREMES™ almonds in a row. Fearless participants can post their videos to TikTok using the hashtag #28XTREMES to showcase their attempt at conquering the fiery flavor rush and are encouraged to challenge other heat-seekers to participate.

To help launch the campaign, Blue Diamond teamed up a variety of social media stars including The Cheeky Boyos who are known for their hilarious TikTok videos and adventurous personalities. The TikTok duo attempted the #28XTREMES Challenge**, and their video can be viewed by fans now on The Cheeky Boyos TikTok page.

“Blue Diamond XTREMES™ almonds are a superfood* for spice lovers who love both heat and flavor. XTREMES are the hottest flavor line in the portfolio and deliver a mouth-blazing satisfaction that heat-seekers can’t find just anywhere, making it perfect for the #28XTREMES Challenge**,” said Suzanne Hagener, Vice President of Brand Marketing at Blue Diamond. “The Cheeky Boyos are foodies who embody the XTREMES heat-seeking spirit. We are so excited to be partnering with them, and we can’t wait for our fans see their #28XTREMES Challenge experience.”

Available in three super-hot flavors: Cayenne Pepper Flavored (Hot), Ghost Pepper Flavored (Hotter) and Carolina Reaper Flavored (Hottest), Blue Diamond XTREMES™ are made with real peppers and have a spicy flavor rush that takes snacking to the next level. These almonds are the Super Spicy Superfood* as 28 almonds have 5g of plant protein and are an excellent source of antioxidant Vitamin E and a good source of Magnesium.

Blue Diamond XTREMES™ are available online and in major retails nationwide in 6oz cans for a suggested retail price of $3.49.
