Hunters Point was tapped by Mischief agency for another Molson Coors project: The Spicy Slice Challenge Kit. Inspired by pairing Blue Moon with spicy food and shows like “Hot Ones”, Mischief ideated the brand’s iconic Valencia Orange Slice with a new custom hot spice to see how much Blue Moon would be needed to quench one’s thirst. Hunters Point was challenged to create a new flavor profile that could be mass produced with shelf stable spicy orange slices as well as a home kitchen recipe that consumers could recreate. Required to use on their iconic weizen glasses, we found the only printer in the U.S. that was able to print on the glasses as well as sourced backup engraving options. Finally, we supported the Mischief design team with our 3D design skills to create a look that translates to the box while also ensuring all elements are kitted in a safe and stylish shippable carton.
Under a tight manufacturing deadline, we were able to create early kits to enable a Colin Jost celebrity pre-launch campaign, then supplied hundreds of kits for influencers, media and consumers, on time, on budget, and even made extra every time Blue Moon requested. Thirst: Quenched!
Partnering once again with the culinary master mind of Kip Poole from Yorkie’s in Virginia Beach, VA (one of Pharrell Williams’ favorite local hometown chefs) we had to develop a Spicy Valencia Orange Slice that had to be shelf-stable, dehydrated, and incorporate the flavor profiles of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. Not to mention the best packaging to prolong shelf life and keep the slice nice and dry so that the end consumer experience was as fresh as if the slice came out of the kitchen second’s prior. After multiple rounds of testing by Blue Moon and Franks Red Hot, a final flavor profile was decided upon with a combination of sous vide infused flavor, candying, dehydrating, and final ghost pepper spice combination for a dried spicy orange slice that delivered an 8 out of 10 heat rating on the Scoville Scale.
