MINNEAPOLIS--()--On Wednesdays, we eat pink! To celebrate Paramount Pictures’ enduringly popular teen comedy Mean Girls, Pillsbury Toaster Strudel is getting a makeover with the launch of its limited-edition Mean Girls Toaster Strudel, featuring pink icing in collaboration with the iconic film – and it’s so fetch!

To introduce this delicious product, Pillsbury Toaster Strudel is launching ‘The Most Fetch’ Toaster Strudel Icing Sweepstakes. To pay homage to the movie-claimed inventor of Toaster Strudel’s daughter, Gretchen Wieners, three grand prize winners will get a personalized video message from Lacey Chabert, one year’s worth of Pillsbury Toaster Strudel, and Mean Girls merchandise.

We’re thrilled to bring this limited-edition Mean Girls product and sweepstakes to fans everywhere, especially for all the not-so-regular, but cool moms out there,” said Keavy O’Malley Keyes, senior brand experience planner at General Mills. “For years, we’ve enjoyed seeing the art fans have made using Toaster Strudel icing and can’t wait to see the fun designs they come up with using our new Mean Girls-inspired pink icing.”

To enter the sweepstakes, consumers should create and take a photo of their most fetch Pillsbury Toaster Strudel icing design using the limited-edition pink icing. Then, post the photo on Instagram or Twitter and include #FetchSweepstakes and @ToasterStrudel in the Instagram caption or Tweet.
