Available for purchase in a limited run exclusively on TUMSshop.com, the Burn Ball is a must-have for any Big Game watch party.

To further rally party hosts, fans and foodies alike, TUMS has teamed up with mega-creator and YouTube star Eric Decker (@Airrack), known for his high-energy stunts, viral challenges and a fan base of more than 20 million. Together, TUMS and Eric are launching a social sweepstakes encouraging consumers to show off their creative trick passes and how they "Pass the TUMS" throughout playoff season and into the Big Game for a chance to win prizes.

"I'm all about bringing people together through never-before-seen challenges that push the limits, and as a football and food fan, partnering with TUMS to inspire 'Pass the TUMS' was a perfect fit," said Decker. "Friends don't let friends put up with heartburn, especially ahead of and during the Big Game, so I'm stoked to see how everyone puts their spin on passing the TUMS."

For years, TUMS has delivered fast, powerful heartburn relief to football fans, ensuring they can love food back throughout the season. Across its range of formats, the brand continues to provide multi-symptom relief, including its latest innovations: TUMS Chewy Bites and Gummy Bites.

"We know so much about the Big Game revolves around food, and nothing ruins the excitement faster than heartburn," said Patricia Melo, Brand Director for TUMS. "That's why TUMS is here to deliver fast, powerful relief that keeps fans in the moment. Through our first-ever Burn Ball and Airrack-inspired sweepstakes, we're excited to share a completely new, uniquely TUMS way to help fans enjoy every game-day moment."
