Once more I get an invite from Max's Restaurant and Max's Corner Bakery. This time they launched their latest, new and exciting campaign “Max's Merienda Mixes”. This offers campaign offers great selection of merienda favorites that can be mixed and matched. It was hosted by Wilma Doesn't, well-known model and actress, showcased the best of Max's which starts with letter “M” like the letter “Ms” in Max's Merienda Mixes. It was a warm event on a rainy weather!

Ms. Monette Aldos, Sales, Operations and Marketing Manager for Max's Corner Bakery shared that “Merienda is an integral part of every Filipino's gustatory routine. With this new campaign, Max's corner Bakery seeks to create an experience that is light, fun and heartwarming for every Filipino. We want them to enjoy great food and the goodness of Max's Corner Bakery's home-baked goodies that are 100% made with love, always.”




The event was really filled with fun and excitement. Since the most common letter used for this particular events was “M” they've matched their prizes with the letter “M”. Started with “Malling” which they raffled GIFT CERTIFICATE to spend for malling. “Music-trip”, music lovers does enjoyed the prize because it was an MP3 PLAYER. Then “Movie watching” which they've given away a DVD PLAYER, we were expecting to win this one but unfortunately we didn't won it. Lastly, “Munching” (I think) which their prize was a MICROWAVE OVEN. Too bad, my husband and I didn't get any of those but anyway we're still blessed because of the gifts given by Max's!
















Then the best part came and participants of this event were given a chance to experience mixing and matching treats of the “Max's Merienda Mixes”. According to Mr. Bobby Simborio, Corporate Media & PR Manager for Max's Group of Companies “Max's Merienda Mixes reaches out to merienda-lovers of all ages.

Of course merienda wouldn't be complete without the drinks, so customers can choose from Pepsi softdrink, a cool glass of Sago't Gulaman, or a steaming cup of Brewed Coffee.
