ENGOBI(TM), First Caffeine-Infused Chip, Grabs 'Ax,' Heads for North Carolina

Energized by NYC Sampling Success, ENGOBI Set to Explode in Durham, Raleigh

NEW YORK, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh off an explosive, New York City sampling wave, the ENGOBI(TM) Girls are hitting the road, bringing ENGOBI -- the love child of caffeine and snack chips -- to Durham May 17-18 and to Raleigh May 18-19. Along with samples of the market's first caffeine-infused munchie, the ENGOBI girls will give the Tarheel State's Guitar Hero(TM) aficionados the chance to play the game along with friends alongside the ENGOBI tour van.

The ENGOBI girls will bring on the noise, bring on the crunch this Saturday, May 17, at venues ranging from Durham's Town & Country, 3700 Fayettville -- to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park to the 305 South Anti-Mall. Raleigh residents in search of a crunchy, flavor-packed pick-me-up should look for the ENGOBI van Sunday and Monday at local locations including Mordecai Historic Park and Glenwood Avenue.

"ENGOBI is rocketing off New York City shelves as soon as it's stocked," says Mark Singleton, VP of Rudolph Foods, the maker of ENGOBI. "When we saw the way typically jaded New Yorkers are reacting, we knew it was time to pack up the ENGOBI van and give crunch lovers outside Manhattan the chance to tank up on the tastiest, crunchiest energy source around."

As the ENGOBI girls make their way down the Coast (see their complete, nine-city itinerary at http://www.engobi.com/engobi-tour/events/), they'll be blogging from the van each day about the cities they're visiting and the people they meet. "If the ENGOBI girls, our high-octane snack chips or guitars don't perk you up, I'm not sure you have a pulse," Singleton declared. "With ENGOBI, couch potatoes just earned a place on the endangered species list."

According to Singleton, a 1.5-ounce, single-serving bag of ENGOBI contains approximately 140 milligrams of caffeine -- about 60 milligrams more than a can of most popular energy drinks. The latest entry in the functional foods category, ENGOBI will be distributed nationwide through convenience stores and select grocery stores. High-energy ENGOBI is sold in 1.5-ounce, single-serving bags, with a manufacturer's suggested price of $1.29 per bag.
