Glory Foods and Universal Pictures Partner to Sponsor 'The Glory of Family' Sweepstakes

    COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Glory Foods, a manufacturer and
 distributor of a specialty line of Southern food products including seasoned
 canned vegetables, condiments, Glory Foods Southern Selections family-size
 frozen entrees and side dishes, and Glory Foods Mound Bayou Sweet Potatoes,
 has partnered with Universal Studios to create a promotion of family-size
 proportions.
     If you've got a favorite family photo you think is worthy of recognition,
 here's your chance to "Show Us The Glory of Your Family," in a national
 sweepstakes sponsored by Glory Foods and Universal Pictures.  Glory Foods has
 teamed with Universal Pictures to present The Glory of Family Sweepstakes,
 tied to Universal's summer release of "Nutty Professor II:  The Klumps,"
 starring Eddie Murphy and Janet Jackson.
     The lovable Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy) is back to battle his alter ego
 Buddy Love in Universal Pictures' and Imagine Entertainment's "Nutty Professor
 II: The Klumps."  It's a laugh a minute when Sherman tries to rid himself of
 his monstrous nemesis -- and his disruptive outburst -- once and for all by
 extracting Buddy's DNA from his system.  It's a race against time for Sherman,
 his family and his soon-to-be-bride and colleague Denise Gains (Janet
 Jackson).  The film will be released July 28, 2000 and has a PG-13 rating.
     Family is worth celebrating and Glory Foods in partnership with Universal
 Pictures is sponsoring the Glory of Family Sweepstakes in honor of the
 ultimate family, "The Klumps."  Glory Foods chose to support this film because
 of the family theme.  "Glory Foods is about honoring the traditions of family
 and the comfort foods that often make family gatherings special and

 level, build sales support and continue our quest to make Glory Foods'
