NEWS FROM ROWNTREE'S RANDOMS

Jedward make the world a more ‘random’ place

Taking a break from their Irish tour, X-Factor’s most ‘deadly’ duo, John and Edwards Grimes have today launched the ROWNTREE’S RANDOMS® ‘Foamy Gnome on the Roam’ tour, a summer tour that will see a giant Foamy Gnome hot-air balloon flying around the UK, bringing random events to different locations.

Fresh from the launch of their new album ‘Planet Jedward’, the twins have joined forces with the makers ROWNTREE’S RANDOMS® to inject their unique and energetic ‘randomness’ into the tour, which will see a series of random events hit Brighton, Birmingham and Manchester. Inspired by the success of the limited edition Foamy Gnome which appeared in pack earlier this year, Jedward also launched the bespoke hot air balloon which will travel the length and breadth of the country.

John said; “It’s been a crazy few months for us but launching the ‘Foamy Gnome on the Roam’ tour is by far the most random thing we’ve ever done! We’re massive fans of the sweets and are now desperate for ROWNTREE’S® to consider making our quiffs into one of the hundreds of sweet shapes!” Edward added; “Yeah, sweets shaped like our hair would be awesome! Remember to look out for the Foamy Gnome balloon jet-setting around in the sky in August – you can’t really miss it.”

Adding some extra light-hearted entertainment to the launch, the Dublin-born 18 year-olds have also performed in-front of the camera, recording an online video featuring the Foamy Gnome and other random characters to promote the events.

Louise Barrett, Brand Manager at Nestlé (the maker of ROWNTREE’S®) said, “We’re on a mission to make the world a more random place this summer and thought Jedward would be the perfect ambassadors for that! We can’t wait to see the reaction of the nation when a giant Foamy Gnome hot-air balloon is travelling through the sky and hope our random events will encourage you to let your random side out® this summer!”
