These Canadian food innovations spotlight a number of unique dishes, snacks, and beverages, as well as products that take inspiration from classic national favorites.
An example of the latter is the 'Doritos Ketchup Drop,' which allows the many Canadian fans of the savory chip flavor to express their appreciation for it through their apparel. Included in the collection are branded tees, sweaters, caps, bags, and even varsity jackets. To promote the apparel, the brand employed the talents of Canadian photographer Jamal Burger, who lensed a stylish lookbook.
Those with an obsession for Canadian maple syrup are also able to satisfy their cravings with the 'Moose Maple Butter,' a sweet-tasting butter that has the gooey treat integrated into it. This enables consumers to enjoy it on more of their favorite breakfast dishes, while preventing the syrup from going everywhere.
