Because of this, Smileys® are a consistent, candy-sweet onion variety, and through a unique curing process obtain their signature “tearless” trait. Committed to delivering only the best, Smileys® will not ship to stores until they meet the brand’s rigorous standards of being truly tearless and ultra-sweet. Smileys® also backs a robust point-of-sale toolkit, high-graphic packaging, bright pink display-ready cartons, and comprehensive digital assets to support retailers and drive sales during the entire season.

Fans can look forward to exclusive content, giveaways, and exciting events featuring Smileys® x Patrick Fishburn throughout the upcoming season. Fishburn will also be making an appearance at IFPA’s Global Produce and Floral Show at the Onion 52 booth #819.
