Adult Pinata Brand, Card-Bored Box, Breaks the Rules of the Game
Mexican children's pinata party game gets an adult rating.
LONDON, ENGLAND, October 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Described as "naughty and fun", Card-Bored Box is the UK's first supplier of adult pinatas. The best thing to come out of Mexico since the fajita and tequila slammer, a pinata, pronounced "peen-yah-tuh", is a brightly coloured papier-māche mould filled with sweets. Widely used at children's parties throughout the US and Latin America, pinatas have only recently become available in the UK since mainstream supermarkets started selling donkey pinatas in their stores. An increasingly popular party game, the purpose of a pinata is to hit the pinata with a stick until it breaks, releasing a torrent of sweets. Associated with children's parties, especially for birthdays, Easter and Christmas, Card-Bored Box has broken the rules of the game by creating pinatas for adults.
Launched during December last year, the idea of adult pinatas was born out of the founder's own experiences of pinatas whilst travelling and living in Latin America. Self-confessed pinata addict, company founder, Dionne Antrobus, frequently brought pinatas home from her trips. Supposed to be an exciting treat for the kids when Dionne brought back a Dora the Explorer pinata from Ecuador for Christmas, it was the positive reaction of the adults at the party that gave her the idea. Born and raised in Cardiff, a city renowned for it's Saturday night partying and fancy dress culture, Dionne fused the nation's love of partying and adult humour to make adult pinatas. Available nationwide only to UK customers via their company website http://www.card-boredbox.com, Card-Bored Box pinatas feature collections suitable for use at hen nights, birthdays, and other seasonal parties. Thrilled customer Melaneia loves "the big lips and the man's bits".
Named Card-Bored Box to reflect the brand's 'out of the box' thinking, pinata product and company slogan, "Be Bold. Break the Mould", the adult pinata brand's mission is "To excite the world by providing unconventional party ideas that challenge the status quo." Delighted by the company's progress to date, Dionne remarks, "Pinatas were originally shaped like a seven-pointed star to represent the seven deadly sins, with their brightly-coloured paper used to symbolize temptation. Breaking the pinata represented overcoming such sins. Card-Bored Box pinatas are turning that tradition on its head, creating tempting pinatas, just for adults."
