Springdale, Ark. — January 16, 2018 — It’s time to throw the flag on a blatant personal foul occurring on game days in living rooms across the country – the dreaded double-dip. To combat this epidemic, Tyson Foods, the maker of high-quality, fresh and frozen chicken, teams with professional football player and dancing champion Rashad Jennings to introduce the NEW, limited-edition Tyson® Chicken Wing-Mate.

A must-have accessory for every game-watching occasion, the Wing-Mate is a reusable, dipping sauce wristband that creates a personal double-dip zone for game day favorites including Tyson® Any’tizers® Wings, Boneless Chicken Bites, Crispy Chicken Strips and more. Filled with blue cheese, ranch, honey mustard or ketchup, the Tyson® Chicken Wing-Mate allows everyone to personalize their dipping sauce favorites and dip free of judgment, as often as they want.

“Tyson® Any’tizers® Snacks and Crispy Chicken Strips combined with the right dipping sauce are an irresistible pairing that make every game day gathering a win,” said Duke Zandstra, Senior Marketing Director for the Tyson® brand. “The Wing-Mate makes it possible to enjoy game day entertaining without worrying about proper party etiquette. In fact, we even encourage the triple dip when the Wing-Mate is in play.”

People interested in a chance to get their hands on a Tyson® Chicken Wing-Mate Wristband can head to the Tyson® brand Facebook page through February 2, to share their favorite dipping sauce. A limited number of Wing-Mates will be randomly given away, helping fans avoid being “that guy” or “that girl” at their next game day gettogether.
