The new Burger King™ flavors join the successful line of snacks that includes Ketchup & Fries, Flame Broiled Chips, Original Onion Rings and French Toast Sticks snacks. The entire ready-to-eat snack line attempts to mirror the great-tasting menu items offered by the leading quick serve restaurant brand.
&;Our Burger King™ snacks are really taking off in part because we&;re able to play off the
BURGER KING® brand&;s popular and well known menu,&; said Steve Sklar, senior vice president of marketing for The Inventure Group, Inc. &;We&;re able to bring Inventure&;s snack innovation into the equation and together we&;re creating snack foods that are way outside the traditional &;chip&; landscape, and consumers are gravitating toward them in a big way.&;
According to Nielsen data from 2009, the entire &;hot-flavored&; category of foods was up 75 percent from the previous year with growth nearly three-times the rate of the traditional snack category. The new Hot Fries and Hot & Spicy Onion Rings flavors will add to this emerging trend.
The original Burger King™ Ketchup & Fries product was launched in 2007. It quickly found acceptance from consumers and retailers alike with distribution across the United States in convenience, grocery, club store and vending channels. Today the snack chips are currently sold in more than 30 countries, including China, Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey and Scandinavia.
The Burger King™ product line marks the second successful restaurant licensing agreement for The Inventure Group, with sales growing steadily each year. The Company introduced the T.G.I. Friday&;s® line of ready-to-eat snack chips in 2000 which has become a top-seller among vending and convenience food sales.
The Company will introduce a line of &;at home smoothies&; under the Jamb™ brand to retailer freezers in March of this year.
