Ben & Fred Savage On Goldfish Mega Bites, Future Projects, Music, Randy Savage & More
Pepperidge Farm is a leading brand of premium quality snacks, fresh bakery products and frozen foods, as founded in 1937. The Pepperidge Farm brand includes nearly 100 different snacks, including over 30 varieties of Goldfish crackers and 65 varieties of cookies. That portfolio includes iconic Goldfish crackers, Milano cookies, and Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Thin & Crispy cookies and more than 50 varieties of fresh baked breads including Pepperidge Farm Swirl, Farmhouse and Whole Grain and frozen Puff Pastry, Layer Cakes and Garlic Bread. Something for everyone, I would dare to say.
Goldfish crackers has officially added Goldfish Mega Bites to its portfolio of more than 20 cracker varieties. Mega Bites is a bigger, bolder, cheesier “reboot” of the classic Goldfish that kids of all ages have enjoyed for nearly 60 years. A permanent addition to the Goldfish lineup, Mega Bites are 50 percent larger than regular Goldfish and pack a punch across taste, texture and size. Per Janda Lukin, Chief Marketing Officer of Campbell Snacks, in a prepared statement: “This is the first time Goldfish has created a snacking experience specifically with ‘Grown Up’ tastes in mind. We’re at the start of a new chapter for the brand and are expanding our offerings and appeal to all age groups—in the college dorm, snacking at your desk, wherever that is these days — while remaining a snack for all families. We’re excited to keep creating bold and playful snacks and experiences.”
On February 17, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with Fred Savage and Ben Savage via Zoom, as embedded below. We discussed Goldfish, those new Mega Bites from Goldfish, future projects for them both, music, and other famous Savages.
