French's® Celebrates First Week of Summer Launching Limited-Edition Ketchup Popsicle: The 'Frenchsicle'

TORONTO, June 22, 2022 /CNW/ - What: Today, French's® is launching the "Frenchsicle," a new limited-edition ketchup-flavoured popsicle, to celebrate the first week of summer. Available at popup locations beginning June 22, the frozen treats are made in collaboration with Happy Pops, a local Canadian business specializing in all-natural ice pops.

Available in Vancouver, BC, Toronto, ON, and Leamington, ON this week only, the Frenchsicle's savoury tomato flavour is perfectly balanced with a hint of salty sweetness. Made from 100 per cent Canadian tomatoes, it combines some of the best traditions the season has to offer: ketchup and popsicles.

To honour shared Canadian heritage, for every Frenchsicle given away, French's will donate two meals to Food Banks Canada to address food insecurity in CA, expanding the partnership that began in 2015.

When: First week of Summer – between June 22 – June 24
