Mutant Mallows
Rotten and XO Marshmallow teamed up to make Mutant Mallows, a limited-edition Halloween treat combining tropical punch marshmallows with Rotten’s crunchy, colourful Cruncheez candy. The playful, slightly strange mash-up gives both brands a timely collaboration to talk about, available online through 31 October.
Why it worked: A founder-to-founder collab tied to Halloween scarcity, justified by a long-missing dye‑free option, gave journalists a timely, credible hook.
The lesson: Consider pitching a limited, seasonal mash-up that solves a voiced customer gap, backed by a founder quote explaining the fix.
