GoGo squeeZ® Active Fruit Blend with Electrolytes Puts the FUN Back Into the ‘FUN-damentals’ of Sports with New Campaign & Partnership with Break-Dancing Athlete Logan Edra
Last Updated on June 25, 2024 by Daily News Staff
NEW YORK /PRNewswire/ — Leading squeezable pouch snack GoGo squeeZ® continues the momentum around its newest innovation, GoGo squeeZ® Active Fruit Blend with Electrolytes with an exciting new campaign, the ‘FUN-damentals,’ and a breaking partnership with trailblazing World Champion, Logan ‘Logistx’ Edra, all in service of taking the junk out of sports.
At a time when seriousness and social pressures are increasingly weighing down active lifestyles, the ‘FUN-damentals’ campaign puts a high-energy spotlight on the genuine joy of playing sports, being active and moving the way you love. The campaign reminds viewers to make fun the goal of staying active through a 30-second spot set to an original song called GET UP, written and performed for GoGo squeeZ® by Gen-Z Canadian rapper and actor, Connor Price. From pick-up basketball to pickleball to skateboarding and more, the spot shows how GoGo squeeZ® Active Fruit Blend with Electrolytes is a great sidekick to help replenish any active lifestyle.
GoGo squeeZ® continues the spirit of its ‘FUN-damentals’ campaign off-screen with a partnership with B-Girl and World Champion athlete, Logan ‘Logistx’ Edra, to encourage more people to give breaking, the “it” sport of summer, a try. Breaking, with its dynamic energy and spirit, aligns perfectly with the ethos of the campaign, encouraging individuals to step out of their comfort zones and traditional sports to explore new avenues of excitement and self-expression.
“GoGo squeeZ® has been my go-to snack for years and I’m so excited to help introduce more people to the new GoGo squeeZ® Active with Electrolytes and to breaking,” said Edra. “I know athletes of all kinds can relate to the feeling of pressure in competitive environments. Both Breakin’ and GoGo squeeZ keep my journey fun and my spirit bright while dancing.”
The breaking athlete kicked off the partnership at the iconic Playground LA studio where she taught the fundamentals of the emerging sport that’s earning massive global attention and will take center stage this summer. Edra is further encouraging participation in the sport through a social media content series, teaming up with other breakers around the world, to help inspire fans to try the sport at home. Set to rapper Connor Price’s track Trendsetter, Edra and her fellow breakers will share their go-to breaking moves to encourage anyone to show off their moves along to the beat.
“Being active doesn’t have to be complicated. The ‘FUN-damentals’ campaign is a fantastic example of our GoGo squeeZ® objective to help simplify sports and turn physical activities into moments of fun and joy,” said GoGo squeeZ® Chief Marketing Officer Mark Anthony Edmonson. “We’re thrilled to partner with B-Girl, Logan Edra, and support the way she moves, especially as the sport’s audience widens this summer. From breakdancing to pick-up basketball, to a quick jog – the best way to stay active is to ensure you have fun while doing it.”
GoGo squeeZ® Active with Electrolytes pouches are available at mass retailers (Kroger, Walmart, Target, Amazon) and grocers for an MSRP of $9.99 for a 10-count pack.

Add 2 Key Nutrients You Might Be Overlooking with an Easy Avocado Recipe
(Feature Impact) While everyone is talking about protein these days whether watching their weight or managing type 2 diabetes, fiber and healthy fats are nutrients many people are overlooking.
The latest reports show most Americans already meet or exceed recommendations for protein while nearly all (about 95%) do not eat enough fiber, and many people consume too much saturated fat versus unsaturated fat, according to the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Prioritizing ways to get more fiber and healthy fats on your plate could be key to managing weight and type 2 diabetes goals this summer.
One food that makes it easier to invest in your health, according to nutrition experts: avocados.
A growing body of research and materials from Avocados – Love One Today, a science-based resource, suggests fresh avocados offer weight management benefits, help with type 2 diabetes management and are good for blood sugar management. Avocados uniquely contain fiber and healthy fats in each nutrient-dense bite, which slows digestion, helping you feel satisfied and fuller longer.

Hawksmoor Boston Opens Sept. 8 in Fort Point at 15 Necco Street
Hawksmoor, the acclaimed London steakhouse, opens Sept. 8 in Boston’s Fort Point with dry-aged steaks, seafood, cocktails, and a Sunday roast tradition. Hawksmoor Boston
Last Updated on September 11, 2026 by Daily News Staff
Hawksmoor, the London-born steakhouse known for its charcoal-grilled, dry-aged cuts, is opening its first Boston location on September 8. Hawksmoor Boston is located on the ground floor of 15 Necco Street in Fort Point, with seating for 280 guests indoors and on an outdoor terrace overlooking the Fort Point Channel. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner throughout the week.
What’s on the menu
Hawksmoor says it’s bringing its “do things properly” steakhouse approach to Boston, sourcing from local purveyors using sustainable systems and dry-aging each cut for deeper flavor and tenderness. Steaks are seasoned with Maldon sea salt, cooked over high-heat charcoal, rested before serving, and paired with a side of roasted bone marrow.
The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Thomas Park (previously Saltie Girl; before that Uchi in Austin), with an emphasis on local seafood and technique. Menu highlights include charcoal-roasted scallops wild-harvested from Georges Bank and Maine lobster, plus Boston-specific additions like a Lobster Crumpetand a Beer-Battered Fish Butty made with local haddock and jalapeño tartar sauce.
Sunday Roast + cocktails
Boston will also get a classic British tradition: the Hawksmoor Sunday Roast, featuring slow-cooked dry-aged roast beef served with giant Yorkshire puddings, beef-dripping roast potatoes, vegetables, and bone marrow-onion gravy.
The bar program is led by Beverage Director Liam Davy and includes Hawksmoor staples like Shaky Pete’s Ginger Brew, Sour Cherry Negroni, and ultra-cold Direct Martinis served at -2°F, alongside Boston-inspired cocktails and local beers.
Design details + reservations
Designed with Aria Design, the space features dark blue and green paneled walls, leather and velvet seating, and wood-and-brass tabletops—no white tablecloths or black-tie formality. Reservations are now available via OpenTable.

Chili’s Takes the ‘19th Hole’ Literally With Golf Course Pop-Up
Chili’s took the 19th-hole tradition to a new level with a limited-time golf course pop-up in Burbank featuring food, specialty margaritas and exclusive golf apparel.
BURBANK, Calif. — Chili’s Grill & Bar took its casual-dining game onto the golf course with a limited-time experience celebrating one of golf’s favorite traditions: the 19th hole.
The restaurant chain transformed the clubhouse at DeBell Golf Club in Burbank, California, into the Chili’s Golf Club, a two-day pop-up held Aug. 28–29. The event welcomed golfers and fans to enjoy Chili’s favorites, specialty drinks and a golf-inspired apparel collaboration.
The concept played off the traditional “19th hole” — the post-round gathering spot where golfers grab food and drinks, talk about the day’s round and, perhaps, make those missed putts sound a little closer than they actually were.
Chili’s Meets the Golf Course
Guests at DeBell could stop by after playing 18 holes — or simply visit the clubhouse — for Chili’s menu favorites such as the Triple Dipper. The pop-up also featured golf-themed drinks including the Transfusion Marg and Tee Time Marg, created specifically for the Chili’s Golf Club experience.
The promotion also teamed Chili’s with active-lifestyle apparel brand Rhoback for a limited-edition Rhoback X Chili’scollection featuring the Chili’s Golf Club crest. The lineup included performance polos, hoodies, quarter-zips, crewnecks and golf hats.
“Chili’s is the people’s clubhouse, so it only made sense to bring that spirit to the course,” George Felix, chief marketing officer and executive vice president of Brinker International, said in announcing the campaign.
Food, Golf and Entertainment Collide
Chili’s extended the promotion beyond the course with a campaign film celebrating everyday golfers — particularly those whose enthusiasm for the game may be considerably stronger than their scorecards.
The film featured appearances by Wesley Bryan, Caleb Pressley, Jena Sims Koepka, Chaz Bowker, Josh Kelley and JaNa Craig, bringing together golf, entertainment, food and lifestyle culture around the familiar 19th-hole tradition.
Although the Burbank pop-up lasted only two days, the campaign offers another example of restaurant brands looking beyond the dining room to connect food with sports, entertainment and fan culture.
For Chili’s, that meant finding a place where burgers, margaritas, golf stories and questionable scorecards already seemed like a natural fit.
