One of the more exciting – and stressful – features of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the ‘Stalk Market’, where players can buy turnips on a Sunday morning to hopefully sell them next week for a profit. As experienced players will know, they tighten the straps for more than a week, which means you have lost your original deposit and end up with a whole bunch of ruined vegetables.
Most of the time that would be the end of it, but throughout the new week, players can actually use all the spoiled rape they have to help a good cause. Hellmann’s Canadian arm – yes, the mayonnaise company – has created a very own New Horizons island and will allow players to try, explore their attractions and drop their spoiled turnips.
In exchange for these corrupt rapists, Hellmann’s will donate to Second Harvest, Canada’s largest charity, to help provide a total of 25,000 miles to vulnerable communities in the country. We have a full overview of how it will work and some snaps of the island below:
- Hellmann’s Island will be open to visitors from 3pm EST on Monday 17th August until 12.15pm EST on Saturday 22nd August.
- To access the island, gamers will send message Hellmann’s Canada on Twitter @HellmannsCanada receive their personal dodo code which is shared on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Selected visitors will be given a time lapse of 15 minutes to drop their spoiled turnip. For every spoiled turnip off, Hellmann’s will donate one meal to Second Harvest until the 25,000 meal goal is reached.
- After dropping off their spoiled rapeseed, guests will have the chance to explore the rest of Hellmann’s Island’s attractions, including:
- Hellmann’s Farm – visitors can take a leisurely stroll through the picturesque canola fields or catch a glimpse of other Hellmann ingredients, including freshly laid eggs from free runes and fatty vinegar.
- Second Harvest Outdoor Kitchen – here guests can relax and unwind by a waterfall with a healthy sandwich and fresh produce prepared by Second Harvest.
- Able Sisters Merch Shop – Fun merchandise can be downloaded at the local store, including items such as Hellmann’s-inspired dresses, t-shirts and jackets.
- Resident Services – guests can stop by to check out the bulletin board for more tips on how to get creative and make the most of what’s in their fridge and reduce food waste.
- Ribbon Island – if they feel adventurous, guests can skip darts to an island shaped like Hellmann’s iconic ribbon for a quick photo-up.
We hope you find success in the Stalk Market this week, but if you do not – or if you want to join the action and help those in need – this sounds like a fun way to pass on and deliver your destroyed belts to a good cause.
