References: businesswire
HEINZ has introduced a novel product extension — a squeezable bottle of its homestyle turkey gravy. This offering, playfully tubbed the HEINZ Leftover Gravy, is specifically marketed for use on sandwiches made from Thanksgiving leftovers.
HEINZ dres inspiration from the Moist Maker, "a viral sandwich thanks to a beloved 90’s sitcom." The company's market research indicates that a significant majority of Americans create such sandwiches after the holiday and that gravy is considered an essential ingredient. In response to this, HEINZ is launching its homestyle turkey gravy condiment as a limited-edition kit, which includes the squeezable gravy alongside a recipe guide for the 'Ultimate Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich.'
HEINZ's playful post-Thanksgiving product and initiative is positioned to appeal to a demographic of younger hosts who are establishing their own holiday traditions.
