To celebrate the launch of this new, twisty snack, Old El Paso is teaming up with Olympic legend and twist aficionado, Shaun White. In addition to generating awareness for the product across social, White will also make an exclusive appearance at a sampling event in January at a Northwest Arkansas Walmart location where fans can meet him and try Old El Paso Fiesta Twists.
