With the college hoops season is coming to an end, I’ve gone ahead and paired some Blue Diamond Almonds up with a college hoops team you’ll see plenty of this March.
- Carolina Reaper (That legendary basketball school from Chapel Hill, North Carolina)
- Ghost Pepper (That legendary basketball school from Spokane, Washington)
- Honey Roasted (That legendary basketball school in Tuscon, Arizona)
- Smokehouse® (That legendary basketball school in Los Angeles, California)
- Wasabi & Soy Sauce (That legendary basketball school from Durham, North Carolina)
No matter who you’re rooting for or against (cough… *That team from Durham* …cough), Blue Diamond Almonds are perfect to snack on when enjoying college hoops this year.
Carolina Reaper – That legendary basketball school from Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Aside from the obvious reason in the name, Blue Diamond XTREMES Carolina Reaper Flavored Almonds are just what any Carolina blue-loving fan needs to make it through this college hoops season. It doesn’t get any hotter than these spicy snack almonds. And that’s a perfect match considering the team’s hot streak of 13-3 in their last sixteen games.
With an upset win against their arch-nemesis in the regular season, they’re certainly grim reapers in the eyes of Durham basketball fans. And what better way to keep rubbing that loss in than by sharing this Carolina Reaper snack with your rival friends up the road.
Ghost Pepper – That legendary basketball school in Spokane, Washington
When it comes to super spicy snacks, Blue Diamond XTREMES Ghost Pepper Flavored Almonds are a fan favorite! And with this school in Spokane set as the favorites to take it all this year, it’s a fiery pairing that just makes sense. Hot after last year’s finals defeat and hot off a conference tournament championship, this legendary basketball school in Spokane, Washinton is bringing the heat—just like this ghost pepper superfood snack.
Honey Roasted – That legendary basketball school in Tuscon, Arizona
Another fan favorite in their superfood snack lineup, Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Almonds college hoops counterpart is none other than this school in Tuscon, Arizona. Whether it be the almonds’ sweet honey flavors or the team’s exciting play, you just can’t get enough of either this year.
These honey-roasted almonds also offer a hint of salt, perfectly complementing the team’s attitudes following a several-year absence from playoff hoops. And with their head coach in his first year, they’re definitely coming back for more. Just like how you’ll be after trying these honey-roasted almond snacks!
Smokehouse® – That legendary basketball school in Los Angeles, California
As one of Blue Diamond’s most popular flavors, it’s only fitting Blue Diamond Smokehouse® Almonds are compared to the team with the most championships: The undisputed best college basketball school in the City Of Angels. Just like this signature Blue Diamond snack, they’re delivering consistency packed with goodness – Just look at last year’s incredible cinderella run.
Wasabi & Soy Sauce – That legendary basketball school from Durham, North Carolina
I know what you’re thinking: “Wasabi & Soy Sauce? That’s an odd comparison for a school with such a storied history in college hoops.” But think of it this way: you either love them or you hate them. There’s no in-between when it comes to wasabi or this legendary basketball school in Durham, North Carolina.
As part of the BOLD lineup, Blue Diamond Wasabi & Soy Sauce Flavored Almonds embody the wide range of feelings any hoops fans may have towards their next chapter. Salty for any non-fans because of how annoyingly good they’ve been. Or sweet since they may finally struggle with their iconic coach leaving after decades on the sidelines. And of course, vice versa for any alumni and fans out there.
