Renowned for his portrayal of Kevin in The Office, actor Brian Baumgartner has etched a lasting memory with one of the most iconic scenes in the series – the episode where Kevin brings his “legendary” chili to the office (if you’re feeling the urge to revisit this classic moment, you’re welcome). Devotees of Baumgartner may recall that this scene held a kernel of truth, as the actor is indeed a connoisseur of chili in real life. Now, he has joined forces with Bush’s Beans to introduce Chop. Drop. Chili!, an innovative game designed for home cooks to engage in a fun-filled activity with their loved ones in just 30 minutes – roughly the time needed for a pot of chili to simmer on the stove.
Considered a game-changer for dinnertime entertainment, Chop. Drop. Chili! is suitable for ages 8 and above. The game comprises dice featuring various potential chili ingredients – jalapeño, onion, tomato, poultry, beef, and cheese. Players are tasked with “chopping” when they accumulate three dice and “dropping” when they roll them. The ingredients depicted on the dice correspond to similar items on cards in diverse combinations of three, each paired with one of the four distinct Bush’s Chili Magic chili starters, effectively turning each game card into a recipe card.
When the dice are rolled (or rather, when the ingredients are chopped and dropped), a frantic race ensues among players to swiftly claim the cards that match the ingredients on the dice. The primary objective is to amass five recipe cards (or seize the prized Instant Win card containing all six ingredients) to emerge victorious. Along the way, you and your companions might find yourselves enticed by a card’s ingredient combination, inspiring you to recreate it during your next family chili/game night.
Speaking about the game, Baumgartner expressed, “Time spent with family is my favorite part of the day, but doing it with a warm bowl of chili? Even better. Chili Magic is a convenient shortcut to homemade chili, and Chop. Drop. Chili! helps us make Chili night even more special. Quality family time, a delicious meal and some laughs along the way – everyone wins!”
Bush’s Chili Magic is currently offered in four enticing flavors: Classic Homestyle, Campfire Style, Hearty Heat, and the latest addition, Slow-Simmered White. However, the Chop. Drop. Chili! game, priced at $3 and available at shop.bushbeans.com, is a limited edition product. Therefore, those interested in acquiring the game should act promptly to secure their own copy before supplies run out.
