Exhibitors on hop of the world Exhibitors at Food & Drink Expo will be hopping mad…
More than 100 people from the world of food and drink are expected to participate in a bizarre world record attempt at the Food & Drink trade show (NEC 6-9 April). Exhibitors, visitors and celebrity chefs will join forces to keep a Space Hopper bouncing non-stop throughout the four day event. The aim is to set a world record for the longest non-stop Space Hopper bounce and mark the launch a new national campaign that invites people to raise awareness of testicular cancer by doing daft things on Space Hoppers. Called “Bounce Your Balls For Cancer”, its aim is to encourage men to bounce their own balls for cancer (ie check their testicles) and to raise £1 million pounds for charity over the next three years.
Food & Drink exhibitors who have already pledged to keep the ball bouncing include Mini Meaty Munchies (salami snacks), innocent smoothies, Firefly Tonics, Montezuma’s Chocolates, Aspall Cyder and Taylerson’s Malmesbury Syrups. Marcus Mitchell, Managing Director of Mini Meaty Munchies, a new salami snack that has sponsored the launch of Bounce Your Balls For Cancer, said: “This is a fantastic way for the industry to come together and make a positive contribution to a great new campaign. “I would love to see at least one volunteer from every stand at the event grab the Space Hopper by the horns and bounce their balls for cancer. “You don’t have to be hopping mad to take part, but it helps. It’s a quick, fun and easy way to make a big difference to the nation’s health.”
