Bitbits, A New Crunchy Experience By Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera

Detroit, Michigan. - May 18th, 2017 - Miggy Foods is pleased to introduce its first product in the United States: Bitbits™, a sweet and crunchy treat that will shake up the snack category.

Bitbits™ combines natural ingredients and fresh products to create a new, exciting experience with a unique twist. Coming in four different flavors, there's a fun combination for both kids and adults.

Miggy's Bitbits™ are a base of rice crispies covered in creamy milk chocolate, strawberry cheesecake or white chocolate. Bitbits™ also takes a classic formula and makes it bite-sized with crunchy peanuts covered in milk chocolate with a new twist.

"We are very excited and have high expectations for the Bitbits product line," said Daniel Satine, Miggy Foods' Chairman. "Our delicious products will have a huge impact in the hearts of American consumers. Another home run by Miguel Cabrera!"

Prior to the launch, Chris the Crown, the brand's mascot was introduced in a teaser campaign at Comerica Park and through social media, where the audience had to guess #whoischris. Expectation and buzz were built around the new character while starting a community that followed his adventures.
