Yes, you read that right, the [soda brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jones-zero-cola) is releasing a [poutine-flavored edition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepperoni-pizza-soda) across a few regions in Canada. If you live in Quebec, Ontario or Vancouver, you’re in luck. The wacky pop flavor is described as having a “nice balance of rich, savory gravy over a starchy potato base.” If that doesn’t sound heavy enough for you, get this, it’s also: “accented with those fatty, cheesy notes you expect in a plate of poutine.” As an Irish woman who has developed a profound love for poutine, I think I would (cautiously) give this soda pop a try. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Flavored Sodas:** The trend of unconventional soda flavors presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the beverage industry. - **Regional Food Flavors:** The popularity of regional food flavors in non-food products presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in various industries. - **Savory Beverages:** The trend towards savory beverages presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the beverage industry. ### Where This Applies - **Beverage Industry:** The unconventional flavor trend presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the beverage industry, particularly for companies willing to experiment with new flavors. - **Food Industry:** The popularity of regional food flavors in non-food products presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the food industry, particularly for companies looking to expand their product portfolios. - **Marketing Industry:** The trend of using unconventional flavors and regional food flavors in product marketing presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the marketing industry, particularly for companies looking to establish themselves as unique and innovative. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crossover Soda Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-edition-soda.md) - [Citrusy Pepper-Flavored Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hatch-chile-lime-soda.md) - [Orange Chocolate Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-and-chocolate.md) - [Cannabis-Spiked Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mary-jones.md) - [Spooky Halloween-Themed Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jones-halloween-sodas.md) - [Fruity Latin-Inspired Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiesta-jones.md) - [Maple Syrup-Flavored Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadian-maple-syrup-soda.md) - [Crayon-Themed Soda Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crayonthemed-soda.md) - [Low-Calorie Prebiotic Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-jones.md)
