We Just Got Roasted! Wild Bill’s is Hotter Than Ever
January 24, 2022
We did get roasted...in a good way, that is! The Wild Bill’s Team is excited to introduce you to the newest members of the carefully crafted beverage family. Can you guess what they are? Pretty sure you can figure it out, being the super smart cookies we know you to be. Yep! Wild Bill’s has a brand-spankin’ new line of 100% USDA organic, single-origin coffee in four flavors. All of our coffees are made from 100% Arabica coffee beans sourced from Nicaragua. So you’re guaranteed to get a bag of high-quality, made-with-love coffee with each and every order. You can choose from French Vanilla, French Roast, Donut Shop, or Columbian. Or don’t choose at all. We’ve added a variety pack to this special line of beverages! Pretty sure we can all agree, there’s just nothing better than that first sip of sweet, caffeinated liquid gold in the morning. Seriously. It keeps us from being a bit...grizzly. But did you know that coffee is actually good for you? Yeah, check out this quick list of coffee benefits, in case you need a bit of justification for the excessive amount you drink in a day. (We can relate) Coffee contains essential nutrients such as vitamins B2, B3, and B5 as well as potassium and manganese. The caffeine in coffee can actually make you smarter since it alters the chemicals in the brain that help neurotransmitters connect. Coffee may help you prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Yes, for real. Coffee has superpowers! (jk. It’s science) It also may protect your liver. Studies show that regular coffee drinkers have healthier livers and a lower risk of cirrhosis of the liver. On that note, it appears coffee reduces your risk of liver and colorectal cancer. And...drumroll...coffee is the biggest source of antioxidants in the American diet. So maybe we should all eat a little less and drink a little (a lot) more? A lot more coffee that is. Most of these studies were done on participants who drink 2-4 cups of coffee a day. If you’re already over that amount just think: You’re getting healthier and smarter every day! Just go with it. That’s what we do! Justification is everything! With all that being said, here’s a quick intro to our curated coffees! Donut Shop: A cozy, familiar brew with a flavor profile that will make novice and experienced coffee drinkers swoon. French Roast: A popular choice for lovers of strong brews, this one packs a full-body flavor profile. French Vanilla: Let the scent of creamy vanilla goodness fill your space with this smooth, subtly sweet flavor profile. Columbian: Taste hints of dark chocolate, caramel, and cloves in this rich, bold brew. Whichever one you choose, if you choose to choose, we’re excited to finally be giving you a Wild Bill’s line of hot beverages to enjoy!
Boldness Bagged: Peanuts That Pack a Punch
January 24, 2022
In case you were wondering: Yep, we’re offering you a snack! That’s the polite thing to do, right? Yeah, our mamas taught us well. Plus, what goes better with sweet than salty? Fun Fact: Did you know that there have been two presidents who were peanut farmers? True story. Thomas Jefferson and Jimmy Carter both worked peanut farms. What could be more American than that! Seriously, though. After all this talk of ice-cold well-crafted cans of nostalgia (i.e. our sodas), we thought that creating all-American snacks that take you back to memories of baseball games with dad would be a perfect addition to the Wild Bill’s line! If America had a classic snack food as its mascot, it would have to be the peanut. And being the all-American team that we are, we wanted to formally introduce you to our newest members of the Wild Bill family! They’re handcrafted with love and locally sourced. Garlic Crunchy Coated Peanuts AKA: Bite-sized pieces of garlicky heaven. PAIRS WITH: Texas-style BBQ and classic savory fair foods. Washes down well with Dr. Bill’s or Birch Beer. PERFECT FOR: Bringing to parties when you don’t want to be boring but also don’t want to cook. After all, these are destined to be shared. Who wants to be the only one with garlic breath? Nobody. That’s who. So grab, tear, and share away! Coconut Crunchy Coated Peanuts AKA: Dessert nut PAIRS WITH: Fried foods! Fried Oreos, donuts, funnel cake. Oh, wait. You want real food. Try this with an assortment of Indian or Asian dishes. Wash it down with our Wild Bill’s Vintage Vanilla Cream soda! PERFECT FOR: Dessert! Or in a dessert. On a dessert. We’re not fussy. These are so yummy and crunchy, they can be used for multiple different occasions! Fun Fact #2: Did you know there are six cities in the United States named Peanut? No, we’re not kidding. >> Peanut, CA >> Lower Peanut, PA >> Upper Peanut, PA >> Peanut, PA (apparently Pennsylvania loves peanuts) >> Peanut, TN >> Peanut, WV The more ya know, right? Original Crunchy Coated Peanut AKA: Old reliable PAIRS WITH: Asian food cravings. This classic peanut with a twist is kissed with Asian spices, a dash of garlic, and a hint of salt. Wash it down with our Orange Cream soda and you’ll ditch that craving in no time! PERFECT FOR: Snacking, topping Asian dishes, football games (at home on the couch or in the stadium), sharing. Did we mention that all of our peanut selections are non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan? Well, now we have. Our snacks are as wholesome as your mama’s Instagram. Spicy Chili Crunchy Coated Peanuts AKA: The spice of life PAIRS WITH: Any food that can handle the spicy goodness and keep your tongue from catching on fire. (We’re kidding. Sort of). Wash these down with any of our Will Bill’s crafted beverages! PERFECT FOR: Challenging your friends with how many they can eat before having to drink something! We’re talking frat parties, bar crawls, game nights. May also be found at wholesome family events! Fun Fact #3 (Last one. We promise.): Goober, a nickname for peanuts, comes from the word nguba. The word “nguba” is Congo language for peanut. So go grab your goobers! Whether you’re into spicy or sweet or somewhere in between, we’ve got a peanut for that!
