Ketchup Popsicle: French's to release limited-edition treat in Canada

If you were excited about the KD Soft Serve coming to the Calgary Stampede this year then chances are you’ll love this. A limited-edition Ketchup Popsicle is launching in parts of Canada.

It’s been coined the “Frenchsicle” and it’s made from 100% Canadian tomatoes.

Why was this even concocted in the first place, you might be wondering? French’s and its popsicle collaborator, Happy Pops, say it’s simply because Canadians love their ketchup.

“This year we’re bringing the fun back to summer with the Frenchsicle,” said Trevor Squires, country manager for McCormick & Company, Canada.

“It’s exciting to celebrate local food and flavour; from the roots of the Frenchsicle, made with 100% Canadian tomatoes, to our Happy Pops partnership.”
