She's cute, she's sweet, and oh, so easy-to-eat! She's Dimples ? C the adorably delicious, incredibly nutritious illustrated children's character being introduced this month on Cecelia Packing's Golden Nugget Mandarin Orange packaging to help encourage young and old alike to eat healthier.
With studies proving again and again that healthy eating habits start young, Cecelia's Dimples Premium label has been created to attract kids' attention and to make getting their daily dose of Vitamin C, Fiber and Beta-Carotene fun and exciting. As a child is more likely to eat a healthy food he or she perceives as both interesting and entertaining, Dimples is just the ticket to help parents prepare kids' meals that not only taste good, but are also good for them. Cecelia wholeheartedly believes that once the first bite is taken, children will learn just how delicious Dimples Mandarin Oranges are, and will return again and again asking for this healthy alternative over other junk food options. In addition, Dimples' incredibly sweet, easy-to-peel Mandarin Oranges are great for lunch boxes, after-school snacks, and most any meal, making them the perfect addition to any diet.
"Our goal is to get kids to eat more fruit, and introducing Dimples is a delicious and fun way to accomplish that," says Randy Jacobson, Cecelia Sales Manager. "Plus, our Dimples Mandarins are simple to peel and seedless, making them the perfect treat for kids and adults alike." Jacobson added that response to the Dimples program has already been overwhelmingly positive this first year, and Cecelia plans to expand the program to meet demand.
