Recently I was contacted by TAMPICO® about their new 20 oz size bottles and they wanted me to try them out. Of course, the only proper way to test anything out is to try it out on your friends first! And how could I NOT offer to review it when they have awesome videos like this one?
I know it’s “sick and twisted” but I can’t help but crack up when I see videos of people falling/getting hit by an object. Of course only when I know they didn’t really get hurt.
I’m not that sinister!
Well, maybe I am…did you see the outtakes at the end??? Hahahaha…
So we took a cue from the guy in the video and decided to make some UNIQUE TAMPICO®-inspired snacks in honor of TAMPICO’s Unique Like You Photo Contest. On the menu: TAMPICO® Julius’ and TAMPICO® Pops, both perfect for a hot summer day in Florida.
Did you know that Tampico Beverages, Inc. is a global brand sold in over 55 countries worldwide?
Can you even name 55 countries? I probably could, but it might take me a while…
Also, TAMPICO® is the leading refrigerated juice drink sold in grocery store across America! Being primarily a water consumer, I had no idea – but after tasting some this past weekend, I can see why they are so popular!
TAMPICO® Julius (twist on a classic) - serves 2
In a blender, combine 4 generous scoops of vanilla frozen yogurt with 2 cups TAMPICO® Citrus Punch.
Blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
To add some flair to the presentation, I halved some marshmallows and stuck them (sticky side in) on the sides of the inside of the glasses. Polka dot TAMPICO® Julius anyone?
What’s better than updating a childhood classic like the Julius? How about a chance to win a top-of the line laptop computer, a digital music player, a set of designer headphones, and a $100 digital music gift card?!?!
Yes, please.
TAMPICO® is celebrating the launch of the new single-size 20 oz bottles with an online photo contest entitled Unique Like You. How do you get in on this awesome giveaway?
Go to the TAMPICO Facebook page and submit any (tasteful) photo of yourself, customize it with fun add-ons and bling and ask your friends to vote for your tricked-out photo! NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER/WIN.
We’ll drink to that!
At our party we used the Citrus Punch TAMPICO® flavor to make our drinks and popsicles, but you could use any of the three flavors they offer: Tropical Punch (cherry, orange, pineapple), Mango Punch (mango, orange, tangerine) or Citrus Punch (orange, tangerine, lemon). In addition to the Julius’, check out these layered TAMPICO® popsicles!
We made them in about 20 minutes with my Zoku Pop Maker – they were a hit and they were perfectly portioned, just like the new TAMPICO® 20 oz bottles. Don’t you just love personal-sized things?
So what did you think of those beats in the YouTube video? Well, here is your chance to mix your own music, because I have a $15 iTunes giftcard to give away!
To enter you must leave a comment and tell me what your favorite summertime SONG is or “like” Tampico on Facebook.
For an extra entry, submit a photo of yourself to the Unique Like You Photo Contest on Facebook and send me the link to vote for you on MY Facebook page!
I’ll draw a random winner on August 20th and that person will win the iTunes giftcard!

It’s not summer without hearing “Summer Girls” by LFO… But this summer my favorite song is “Give a little more” by Maroon Five

I love the song “Cool Summer” it always reminds me of surfing and laying out on the beach!
August 18, 2011 at 8:45 am
B! what’s YOUR fave summertime song??
August 18, 2011 at 8:56 am
Summer starts for me when I hear Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long”. But in case I don’t hear that song, the triple digit temperature reminds me

Love the marshmallow idea! My favorite summer drink is a Diet Dr. Pepper!

My favorite song this summer is Knee Deep by Zac Brown Band. Very fun song and makes me think about being at the beach!

Thanks for asking Jules! I’d have to say there are a few that make me think of summer. Aerosmith’s Crazy makes me think of summer, and so does Criminal by Justin Nozuka (I think it’s because he talks about Mexio…) and of course summer wouldn’t be summer without hearing Summer Love by Justin Timberlake…I know I’m more of a folksy type, but I love me some JT!

I will buy Tampico now simply because I like the looks of your male model. He looks wholesome and healthy…the kind of guy any mother would be proud of.
The drinks and popsicles look pretty good too! Oh, and my all-time favorite summer song is “A Summer Song” by Chad & Jeremy (it’s an oldie but a goodie)…a current (this summer) song I hear a lot and like is “Blessings” by Laura Story.

Thanks Bex! I thought he was rather dashing myself
And I will have to check out those summer songs!
August 18, 2011 at 5:28 pm
my favorite summer song is I Wanna Go by Britney Spears.
August 18, 2011 at 6:24 pm
I LOVE that song!!!!
August 19, 2011 at 6:34 am
Hmmm… I’m embarrassed to admit this but my favorite summer song is that Katy Perry California Girls song (I refuse to spell girls incorrectly.) And you are too much with the halved marshmallows, adorable!

Before last week, I’d never even heard of Tampico! I’m liking these recipes, girl.
