Sub-sational: Subway announces pigs in blankets sharing bucket
By Jamie Hesketh on Wednesday, December 13, 2023
Subway, have seriously upped their Christmas game this year with FREE sharing buckets of Pigs in Blankets!
The decision to create the PIB bucket came after new festive research found that half the nation thinks pigs in blankets are the best festive food, with a whopping 32% of Brits saying that they’re actually acceptable to eat for breakfast, lunch AND dinner during the holiday season. With stats like these the offer is sure to be a popular one!
The research also revealed that over 43 million Brits will participate in at least one ‘Friendsmas’ event this year, naming Saturday 16th December the most popular day to celebrate. For those hosting, 22% said that cooking is one of the biggest stressors – with 56% believing a Christmas meal is incomplete without pigs in blankets, Subway is stepping in to offer free sharing portions of the festive treats for the perfect Friendsmas table.
Hosting this Saturday and need a quick fix? Or maybe you just fancy 50 pigs in blankets? The limited-edition Pigs in Blankets Sharing Bucket is packed full of 50 of Subway’s mini bacon-wrapped sausages, and will be available on a first come, first served basis at select Subway restaurants, for one day and one day only!
Don’t worry if you can’t bag yourself the big bucket though – individual Pigs in Blankets Pots are available in select Subway restaurants nationwide until 2nd January 2024.
Rusty Warren, Senior NPD and Product Innovation Manager, at Subway, said: “Our research shows that Brits are in love with pigs in blankets and, with lots of us celebrating ‘Friendsmas’ this weekend, we’re delighted to gift our new limited-edition sharing buckets for one day only! Our succulent Pigs in Blankets Pots are the ultimate festive snack, but our bigger sharing bucket is perfect as the centrepiece to any festive feast.”
Merry Christmas PIB lovers!
