The national promotion, which starts in the spring of 2002 and will run for as long as supplies last, and will be featured on some 700,000 boxes.

Heinz Ore-Ida will also be promoting a mail-in offer on some of its frozen food lines. The promotion, expected to run until the end of July 2002, aims to encourage customers to mail in proof-of-purchase labels with original checkout receipts to receive one child admission ticket to the film.
