Sabra® Dipping Company (www.sabra.com), makers of the country’s best-selling hummus and a wide variety of fresh dips and spreads, is kicking off the new year by inviting Americans to include hummus in their daily dipping activities - from casual weekday snacking to game-day dunking. While hummus has gained incredible popularity over the past decade, leading the country’s fastest growing dip category, there are still many Americans who have yet to taste it. Sabra’s new campaign, starring a hummus-obsessed Jeffrey Tambor, aims to introduce the delicious, unpretentious dip to future fans. The first ad in the national television campaign will debut in January to coincide with Super Bowl XLVIII, as Sabra continues its role as the Official Dips Sponsor of the NFL.
