In an audacious marketing stunt, a family-oriented brewery, Brewtopia, is offering parents a chance to win $10,000 worth of delicious food in exchange for naming their newborn or adopted child Quinoa. As part of their campaign to promote a new line of quinoa bowls, the restaurant is banking on the hope that some adventurous parents will overlook the potential repercussions and take the plunge.
“We’re thrilled to unveil our Quinoa Bowls, and we wanted to do something memorable—perhaps even a bit outrageous,” stated Clara Jenkins, Brewtopia’s chief marketing officer and mastermind behind this peculiar idea. To qualify, parents must give birth to or adopt a child by Labor Day, choose the name Quinoa, provide a birth certificate by October 21, and pray that no other child named Quinoa beats them to the punch. If successful, they will receive $10,000 in Brewtopia gift cards, but there’s a catch: the cards cannot be used to purchase alcoholic beverages. So, if you were thinking of drowning your sorrows about naming your child after a food item, you’ll have to do it sober. Tax and gratuity are also not included.
The contest rules are strict: no alternate spellings of “Quinoa” will be accepted, and the name must be the baby’s first name—not a middle name or nickname. By claiming the prize, winners also grant Brewtopia rights to use their names and likenesses for promotional purposes indefinitely. If any parent follows through with this, they’ll be trading their child’s identity for a substantial sum of appetizers and mouthwatering burgers. It’s a gamble, but as history shows—such as the case of a child born on 11/11/11 named after a popular video game character who won his parents free games for life—someone might just take the bait.
