The GoodPop x Ore-Ida Fudge n' Vanilla French Fry Pops are a new collaborative product created with the classic ritual of dunking French fries into a milkshake in mind. The frozen treats start off with a vanilla oatmilk frozen dessert base that's covered in a chocolate fudge shell infused with real crispy bits of potato courtesy of Ore-Ida. The result is a sweet, savory frozen dessert that fans can pick up in celebration of National Ice Cream Day that's taking place on Sunday, July 21.
Senior Brand Manager for Ore-Ida at The Kraft Heinz Company Jackie Britva spoke on the GoodPop x Ore-Ida Fudge n' Vanilla French Fry Pops saying, "Nothing says summer quite like the sweet and salty combo of a fry dipped in a milkshake, but fans often have to go to a restaurant to enjoy the summertime staple. In partnership with GoodPop, we put a unique and convenient spin on the American classic, bringing it to home freezers everywhere. Put simply, we dipped it, so our fans don’t have to.”
