The Makers of the WHOLLY GUACAMOLE® Brand Take the Guesswork Out of Game Day Guacamole

ORANGE, Calif., Jan. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- It's no secret that guacamole is a fan favorite when it comes to game day entertaining—in fact, on average 53.5 million pounds of guacamole are eaten every year during the Big Game¹ (that's enough to cover a football field over 20 feet thick!). However, avocados can be tricky. They are not always ready when you need them; in fact, 38 percent of Americans have wanted to make guacamole but were unable to do so because the avocados weren't yet ready or ripe². And nearly 70 percent of avocado users throw away all or part of an avocado because it's unusable³. As the nation tunes in for this year's big game on Sunday, February 3, WHOLLY GUACAMOLE^® – America's No. 1 refrigerated guacamole – is here to assure guacamole fans that they can have their guac—and eat it, too.

"Over half of America (55 percent) is likely to eat guacamole on game day⁴, but we know that dealing with avocados can be a gamble. WHOLLY GUACAMOLE^® products can save you from the hassle of tricky avocados, which can throw a flag in your game day plan," said Diana Pusiri, senior brand manager of the WHOLLY GUACAMOLE^® brand. "Our guacamole is made with hand-scooped Hass avocados with no preservatives added and offers the simplicity you need so you can enjoy delicious flavor with far less planning and effort, leaving more time to focus on the game."
