Mexicana Vegan Launched 'Wannabe a Spice Grill' Competition

Who cannot forget the day when the Spice Girls burst on to the music scene with their first-ever hit ‘Wannabe' 25 years ago this July. And to celebrate this momentous anniversary (8 July), leading spicy vegan cheeze brand Mexicana Vegan has teamed up with the UK's leading high-street hardware retailer Robert Dyas and five Instagram influencers to launch the ‘Spice Grills' competition.

The competition will give one lucky winner every day from 5-9 July the chance to win a grilled cheese machine from Robert Dyas as each influencer unveils the five Spice Girl-inspired Spice Grills, which will include Sporty Spice Grill, Baby Spice Grill, Ginger Spice Grill, Posh Spice Grill and Scary Spice Grill. Each Spice Grill will feature ingredients that are reflective of the personality of each Spice Girl and the first Spice Grill to be unveiled will be the Sporty Spice Grill.

Lisa Harrison, Senior Brand Manager for Mexicana Vegan, said; "It's hard to believe that it's 25 years since the launch of ‘Wannabe', which brought us the Spice Girls and Girl Power and inspired a whole new generation of girl bands.

"We thought it would be great to celebrate the Spice Girls 25th anniversary and we have teamed up with Robert Dyas, the UK's leading high-street hardware retailer, to launch the ‘Spice Grills' campaign where we team up with five foodie Instagram influencers that will feature five ‘Spice Grills' with ingredients that reflect the individual personality of each Spice Girl and also feature our very own spicy Mexicana Vegan cheeze melted in a ‘Spice Grill' in a grilled cheese machine.

"We launched Mexicana Vegan block cheeze in Asda last July as a plant-based alternative to the UK's number one spicy cheese, Mexicana. It contains the same fiery spice mix and real bell and jalapeño peppers as its famous dairy cousin.

"Mexicana Vegan block cheeze proved so popular - and award winning - with vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians* that Mexicana Vegan Slices launched in Sainsbury's and Waitrose at the start of this year. Its popularity is in no small part due to its excellent ‘M-Factor' - how well it melts like its dairy cheese counterparts so it's the perfect addition to toasties, paninis, jacket potatoes and enchiladas for consumers looking for a plant-based alternative.

"And it only seemed appropriate that with such a spicy vegan cheeze brand celebrating a year since its launch, it should also celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Spice Girls, a band that like our spicy cheeze really does ‘embrace life'."

Melissa Titshall, Head of Marketing for Robert Dyas, said: "We're really excited to be taking part in this competition with Mexicana to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Spice Girls. We've been furnishing the nation's kitchens with toastie makers for decades and have seen a phenomenal increase in demand for them during lockdown as people look for alternative ways to make lunch. They're a great way to make life easier when it comes to cooking and they deliver delicious results. Even if you're no Jamie Oliver, you can always rely on a trusty toastie maker to create a tasty meal for you and your family."
