Inside Oishi Snacktacular 2015 at Trinoma Activity Center

I’ve been meaning to share with you what I did on the very first day of #OishiSnacktacular2015, which happened at the event area of Trinoma Mall in Quezon City last Friday.

Of all the emails I received about the event, the most common question was: Is there a fee? How much does it cost?



Most of the foods that stock our pantry are, clears throat, not exactly the healthiest, which can be a reflection of how well I take care of myself. LOL. But let me clarify that this applies only to moms. Kids are not allowed to indulge in these snacks. Hah!


The choice really comes down to whether you stock your pantry in a way that supports healthy eating habits or leaves you constantly tempted, though, most of the time, it’s the latter. Snacks like cookies and chips are really hard to avoid, especially when we’re talking about Oishi snacks.


Whenever I have my “me time” movie sessions, I rely on Oishi for snacking and convenient eating. These aren’t the only foods I eat, of course, but they’re great to have on hand. I admit it’s hard to resist them at the grocery store.



I first heard about this one-of-a-kind event last year through a media friend. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to participate then, mainly because of the location (and honestly, I didn’t get an invite, LOL). But I heard it was a huge success, and the organizers made it even better this year at #OishiSnacktacular2015.


At the registration booth, you need to sign up first to get a chance to win prizes and explore the Oishi activity center, where all sorts of activities and treats await you.


Again, there is no entrance fee.



Here’s what I got from the registration booth:

  • A free pass to the WOW Card, which serves as your ticket to claim an exclusive Oishi O Wow shirt once you complete all the required stamps.
  • A coupon to claim the 2 ft. giant pack from the Oishi Snack Shack, along with another coupon that entitled me to free snacks and access to the event, as part of the media group.
  • For the public, however, a corresponding fee is required to access the play area.

  


 

  

You can refresh the smart way with a yummy Oishi Smart C slushy for only 20 pesos. You can choose between the lemon and pomelo flavors, and I went for the lemon. I actually wanted to get more, but the overwhelming excitement during the event got the best of me, and I completely lost track of everything.



At the Oishi Twirl booth, guests can enjoy delicious soft-serve ice cream made from Oishi Choco Chug for only 20 pesos.



Put those Arnold Schwarzenegger-like biceps to good use and turn the pulley yourself. You can get your very own Choco Chug soft-serve from this awesome ice cream machine that, I think, could have easily appeared in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory




\ I did not know that Choco Chug is made with finely ground oats and milk that makes it more yummy!


You have 6 toppings to choose from, with the yummy Oishi sweets and savory snacks. Do not judge me for having 3 or more toppings because I really love them all.


Here's my second favorite booth at the #OishiSnacktacular2015. The Oishi Snack Shack.


Yes, you can fill your Oishi 2 ft. giant pack with all these Oishi goodies in just 60 seconds for only 295 pesos. I did regret not grabbing all the Smart C and Choco Chug packs from the bottom shelves, so take my advice and fill your bag with juices and chocolate boxes first. You can always get snacks from the Snack Catcher anyway.


 
Here it is! The cutest giant Oishi Snack bag, ever!

 
Posing before anything else, LOL!

 
See all the juices on the bottom shelf? Try to fill your bag with those. I believe one Smart C bottle is priced at around 20 pesos.

For 20 pesos, you can choose from six snack bases such as Ridges Potato Chips, Corn Clubs, Marty’s Veggie Chicharon, Ridge Sticks, Oishi Prawn Crackers, and Potato Fries, along with 12 different flavors listed below.


For the base, I opted for the Oishi Prawn Crackers, which are my forever favorite and mixed it with BBQ with Sweet and Spicy flavors.


 I love this Oishi Make your own Snack Bag because it's durable , I was able to bring it for my 3 and enjoyed it at home.

 
So, here's my ultimate favorite booth here at the #OishiSnacktacular event, The Oishi Snack Catcher!


Celebrities like Elmo Magalona, Slater Young, Ramon Bautista, and Kean Cipriano took on these challenges without any air of pretension.

I enjoyed watching every minute of it, and I found myself getting ready in advance for this exhilarating and creative field of play.



I transformed into a human crane for a minute or so, similar to the Prize Claw app you see on mobile phones. I was strapped into a harness, posed for the camera, and dipped into a pool of Oishi snacks. Everything I managed to grab was mine for only 120 pesos.


Would you believe that on my first try, I got 64 chips? On the second, I got 85! My blogger friend Lou wasn’t able to try it because she was wearing a mini skirt that day. She even asked me if I wanted to do it all over again, with the added bonus of taking home all the chips from that round. I wholeheartedly accepted the challenge, but I still let her keep all the chips I had gathered because the experience alone was already enough for me.


Prizes were also raffled off during the #OishiSnacktacular event. Some won 5k Bench gcs. Others took home a 4ft. Giant Oishi snack bags!

Today is Day 3 of #OishiSnacktacular2015! Watch out for Team O members Slater, Ramon, Elmo, Daniel, Kathryn, and Alex later at 4 PM at the Trinoma Activity Center, as the newest member of the Team O Barkada effortlessly turns up the O, WOW factor for their fans and Oishi lovers!


So, what are you waiting for? Bring your whole family and head over to Trinoma for the last day of the #OishiSnacktacular2015!

See you there!
