The [French's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-skittles) 'Frenchsicle' ice pop is a limited-edition frozen treat created in partnership with [Happy Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truly-canadian) to offer consumers with an unexpected way to beat the heat. The ice pop features the flavor of French's ketchup achieved with 100% Canadian tomatoes for a sweet, savory experience thanks to a touch of salt in the recipe. The all-natural ice pops are made only with real fruit and are sweetened with organic cane sugar.

The French's 'Frenchsicle' ice pop is arriving at a series of pop-up locations in Vancouver, Toronto and Leamington starting June 22. The ice pop is launching alongside an initiative to fight food insecurity with two meals being donated to [Food Banks Canada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ketchup-cotton-candy) for every 'Frenchsicle' the brand gives away.
