Monster Munch! Here Are Some Tasty Snack Picks for your Horror Movie Marathon

10/31/2026 03:00:00 PM


Whether it’s a movie night with friends or a solo horror marathon, having the right snacks can make every scary moment even more enjoyable.

There’s something about Halloween that makes the thrill of being scared all the more appealing. We know that a strange noise coming from the basement is usually a warning sign, and that splitting up is never a good idea. Yet, we remain glued to the screen, eager to see what happens next. It’s this irresistible combination of suspense, fear and curiosity that keeps audiences coming back for more horror stories.

Of course, how you choose to scare yourself is entirely up to you. Some prefer watching horror movies with friends (because misery loves company), while others would rather enjoy a good scare alone. And then there are those who couldn't care less about what's playing, as long as there are snacks.

Whichever kind of horror movie watcher you are, here's what to munch on this Halloween.

For the Barkada That Screams Together: Chippy Barbecue and C2 Litro Lemon

You know it's going to be a good movie night when half the group is screaming at the screen and the other half is laughing at them.

Keep Chippy Barbecue within reach for everyone to munch on between jump scares and hilarious reactions. Throw in a C2 Litro Lemon for the group, and you've got the refreshments covered.

For the Horror Buff Who's Seen It All: Chicharron ni Mang Juan Espesyal Suka't Sili

We all know someone who takes their horror movies seriously. They've seen all the classics, know their way around foreign horror films, and have strong opinions about which sequels should never have been made. For them, one movie is never enough. It's always a full-blown horror marathon.

And what better way to keep the marathon going than with a snack that keeps you craving another bite? Keep Chicharron ni Mang Juan Espesyal Suka't Sili within reach for an asim-anghang treat that's *nakakagana*, perfect for munching on as you work your way through your horror movie watchlist.

For Those Who Dare to Watch Alone: Piattos Roadhouse Barbecue

There's watching a horror movie, and then there's watching a horror movie alone. With the lights off. At night.

If you're the type who enjoys a good scare without anyone interrupting, Piattos Roadhouse Barbecue makes the perfect companion for some well-deserved me-time. Think about it: no one talking over important scenes, no one asking you to explain the plot, and no one suggesting you switch to a comedy halfway through.

Just you, your go-to horror movie, and a bag of your favorite hexagonal potato crisps you don't have to share with anyone. Now that's what we call uninterrupted me-time.

For the One Who's Just There for the Snacks: Magic Chips Cheese

Let's be real: Not everyone who shows up for a horror movie night is actually interested in watching horror movies.

Maybe you were invited by a friend. Or maybe you heard there would be food and decided that was reason enough to leave the house.

If you're more invested in the snack selection than the movie itself, Magic Chips Cheese should be right up your alley. They're flavorful, crunchy, and satisfying enough to keep you occupied while everyone else is busy figuring out who's going to survive.

Whether you're screaming with the barkada, enjoying a solo scare, or simply showing up for the food, the right snacks and drinks can make any horror movie night more enjoyable. So, pick your favorite scary flicks, stock up on your go-to munchies from Universal Robina Corporation (URC). Get ready for a Halloween marathon filled with good scares and even better snacking.

Four yummy, baon-ready snacks to make with Nova Greens

9/15/2024 07:59:00 PM


Making your kids' baon can be a challenge. You want to give them an enjoyable, yummy school recess snack while making sure they're getting something that’s filling and nourishing. While it may sound like a daunting task, you can do both.

Here are some yummy and “veggie-packed" snack ideas to help you level up your kids’ baon. The secret ingredient? None other than Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens. This crunchy and flavorful treat is made with malunggay (or moringa), a leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins. It’s also made with Nova’s signature four multi-grains—corn, wheat, oats, and rice—which are known to be good sources of energy.

Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens, a multi-grain snack that’s made with malunggay, is a delicious treat that you can add to your kids’ lunch boxes.


 
Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens comes in two fun, tasty, and kid-approved flavors: Nacho Cheese and Sweet Corn. You can choose one of these (or both) when you prepare these yummy baon ideas:

 

1. Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Veggie Chip ‘n Dip

Here’s a colorful and easy-to-eat baon for your kid. In a baon container, mix Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Sweet Corn with your choice of chopped veggies such as carrots, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. Then, add a mayo dip or whip up some homemade corn and black bean salsa. You can toss this in with the snack-and-veggie mix or put it in a separate container as a fun dip.

Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Nacho Cheese could be a hit for your kids who love cheese-flavored snacks. Not only is this treat yummy, it’s made with real malunggay.




2. Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Tuna or Chicken Salad

Salad as baon? Make it interesting with Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens. In a baon container, mix chopped fruit (apples or grapes are great options), chopped salad veggies (lettuce, tomato, and cucumber), your kids’ choice of protein (cooked tuna or chicken), and a sweet-sour dressing (maybe mango vinaigrette or ranch). Then, top it off with semi-crumbled Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Nacho Cheese to add a satisfying crunch and a cheesy twist.

The sweet-savory Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Sweet Corn may just be your kids’ new go-to recess treat. Level up their baon by making these four veggie-packed recipes.





3. Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Crunchy BLT 

Upgrade the classic bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwich with Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens. Layer crispy bacon, lettuce, and sliced tomato on a whole-wheat bread slice. Then, spread a dollop of mayo, sprinkle some semi-crumbled Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Sweet Corn for extra sweetness and crunch, and place the second slice of whole-wheat bread on top. You can slice it in half diagonally to make it easier for your kids to enjoy this tasty sandwich.

4. Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Mini Pizza

Pizza is an all-time favorite for many kids. Turn Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens into a fun pizza snack. Spread some pizza sauce on a bed of Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens Nacho Cheese. Top it with quick-melting grated cheese and your kid’s favorite pizza toppings, like bell pepper, cooked mushrooms, onion, olives, and tomatoes. You can also make it hearty by adding cooked ground beef or fried chopped ham. Then, pop it in the toaster oven for a few minutes.

Here are delicious and veggie-packed baon ideas you can make for your kids using the yummy and malunggay-infused Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens snack.


 
These are just a few ideas to get you started. With Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens on hand, the possibilities for fun, delicious, and veggie-packed baon that kids will devour are endless. And in case you’re wondering, Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens is delicious on its own. You can definitely add it as it is to your kids’ lunch boxes.

Ready to make baon that’s yummy and good? Make sure to have your stash of Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens in your pantry. It comes in two, affordable pack sizes to suit your needs: the solo pack for SRP P17.90, while the buddy pack is SRP P37.90. 

Enjoy yummy greens with Jack ‘n Jill Nova Greens. Grab this snack from your favorite grocery store or supermarket or add to cart on Lazada. For more fun snack ideas and updates, follow Nova on Facebook.

Taters Celebrates TRENTA-stic Years

8/25/2024 11:41:00 PM


Thirty in English or Trenta in Spanish/Filipino signifies the end of youth and the start of adulthood, but for Taters, thirty is simply the start of something more. Celebrating its 30th year, Taters, is one of the Philippines' best-known names in the food and beverage industry.

Simply a stand offering snacks to moviegoers now became one of the big hits in the snack sector. Taters continues to pursue product and service excellence by keeping abreast of the rapidly evolving demands of its highly dynamic market.

Taters Enterprises Inc CEO - Ana Maria Tanchanco and COO - Joseph Brian Tanchanco

 
Taters has come a long way from just serving popcorn and chips! Now, they offer something for everyone’s taste buds. Whether you're craving your favorite snack or looking for a more filling meal, they've got you covered with loaded hotdogs, crispy chicken or fish, and tasty sandwiches perfect for enjoying solo or sharing with a friend.

The brand has grown from just a go-to for movie snacks to a popular spot for great food, and that’s been the key to its success. The best part? The rewards are totally TRENTA-stic!



 
Changing With the Times
When COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill in 2020, businesses had to quickly adapt to survive.

Taters stepped up, using fresh ideas and smart changes to keep going strong. They embraced new ways to serve their customers, meeting the changing needs brought on by the pandemic.

Despite the challenges the cinema industry faced, Taters stayed a favorite for movie lovers. With safety measures in place, they continued to serve their classic snacks, making sure the magic of the movies still came with that familiar crunch and flavor everyone loves.

For those who used to attend sporting or leisure events onsite, options were also considered. As more people sought out entertainment in safe, controlled environments, Taters expanded its presence in game parks and sports centers. These venues became hotspots for those looking to combine physical activity with tasty snacks, and Taters showed up to meet that demand.



 
The pandemic was also the boom-time for the streaming media sector as people found ways to stay entertained even as they sheltered in place. To meet the snacking needs of this emergent market, Taters made its products available through community outlets and delivery services, enabling patrons to enjoy their favorite snacks even in the comfort of their homes.

When pandemic restrictions relaxed, Taters gained ground with regard to those patronizing amusement centers and malls. Having kiosks or stalls in these venues gave the public a way to grab and enjoy their favorites from light crunchies to more substantial fare.

Likewise, having a presence in these places enabled Taters to bring their signature snacks to commuters who can now enjoy everything from popcorn to sandwiches even on the go.


 
“Adapting to the evolving needs of the market keeps us on our toes,” company CEO Ana Maria Tanchanco says of how the brand has changed since 2020. “By looking into what customers want, we can calibrate our offerings, do the necessary research and development, and consider innovative additions to satisfy the public.”

Teaming Up With the Best
This drive towards innovation in product offerings would not, of course, be successful if Taters didn’t join forces with some of the biggest names in the country’s retail scene.

On its 30th year, Taters marks the beginning of an exciting new era in its history as it collaborated with SM Gamepark, the SM Group’s own amusement facilities arm.

“Tying up with SM Gamepark gives us the opportunity to expand our reach to mall-goers who are out for a good time,” says Taters COO Joseph Brian Tanchanco. “Whether they’re throwing a party, having a night out with friends, or need snacks to add to the fun while they’re at play, our extensive menu is bound to have something to satisfy their cravings.”


 
Through this collaboration, Taters and SM Gamepark will offer exclusive promotions, and a host of events that promise to make the TRENTA-stic celebration truly unforgettable.

Note that this partnership is exclusive to the following SM Gamepark branches: Taters SM Mall of Asia Gamepark; Taters SM Megamall Bowling; Taters SM North EDSA Bowling; Taters SM Fairview Bowling; Taters SM Southmall Gamepark; Taters SM Sta. Rosa Gamepark; Taters SM Cebu Bowling; Taters SM Seaside Bowling; Taters SM Lanang Bowling; and Taters SM CDO Bowling.

Get Your Game On!
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Taters encourages loyal customers to join the Trentastic Game On Sport + Snack Tournament which pays homage to the brand’s long-standing commitment to excellence.










Drawing inspiration from the Olympics, Trentastic Game On is designed to highlight the best in competitive gaming, whether in basketball, billiards, and table tennis among others.

 








The tournament goes beyond mere competition. Indeed, it celebrates the spirit of perseverance, skill, and the relentless pursuit of being the best: the values that Taters upheld for three decades.

 





Be a TRENTA-stic Champ!
Taters is also spotlighting individual achievements with the Trentastic Champs promo.

This exciting initiative allows participants to showcase their skills in specific games and be rewarded with delicious prizes.

Activities include:
●The Bow Blitz Champ: In this archery-themed challenge, players who score 30 points inside the yellow ring in a single game will receive a FREE Minor Superpop. This promo is all about precision and rewarding those who hit their mark; and
●The Turkey Striker Champ: For bowling enthusiasts, this challenge offers a FREE Classic Churkey Hotdog to any player who strikes a Turkey (three consecutive strikes). It’s a tasty way to celebrate consistency and skill.

Both challenges put an emphasis on the spirit of competition and excellence that has driven the brand to success and recognition.


 

Speaking of Champ, well, it's just so happen that we're part of the Crunch Champs Team and we nailed Round 2 and the Final round of the games.





Overall Champion: Crunch Champs Team

A Bundle of Good Cheer
Central to Taters' enduring success is its unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, which is presented in the new Trentastic Bundles.

These specially-curated sport+snack packages were created to enjoy with a variety of leisure activities.

Offered at a discount, these sport+snack combos are the right stuff to enjoy during bowling nights, karaoke sessions, darts games, or simply enjoying a day at an amusement park or gaming arcade.












 

Through these value-packed bundles, Taters not only enhances the overall experience for its customers but also reinforces its reputation as a brand that consistently delivers excellence in both product and service.

With all these - and more - one can be sure that TRENTA-stic Taters has won the hearts of the Filipino public, and will continue to do so for years to come.
