Ragú & The Long Day of Childhood +Giveaway

By /

I remember as a kid, sitting around the dinner table, talking about our day and eating Ragú with Spaghetti….and loved it!  The memories I associate with Ragú are happy and positive memories, and created bonding experiences with members of my family.  Filling my tummy with warm spaghetti and my heart with good memories – Ragú was and is a part of my and my family’s life.

Families everywhere are enjoying the same experience that I just described.  They are striving to make their children’s Long Day of Childhood a little better with Ragú.  This year, Ragú launched their first national TV campaign (youtube.com.ragu) which entails light-hearted portrayals of kids’ troubles and what parents do as they try to make their children’s Long Day of Childhood a little better – with special family time and wholesome meals they love.

Parents listen to their children’s stories of the often unavoidable challenging moments of being a kid – and relate with memories of their own experiences when they were a kid.  This humorous ad campaign has already sparked significant conversation and engagement via both Facebook and Twiiter.

Ragú is encouraging consumers everywhere to share their kids’ stories of their Long Days of Childhood on Facebook.com/ragusauce.  Ragú is featuring select stories on their Facebook page – a robust community of more than 1 million fans.

To bring a little warmth to your house with a twist, Ragú has created a recipe for Spaghetti Tacos.  Pretty interesting, right?  Well, here it is!
