In the past, [French's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-skittles) has remixed the flavors of its classic condiments with everything from beer and donuts to popsicles and ice cream, and its newest collaboration introduces Ketchup Cotton Candy. Created in collaboration with Canadian confectionery company [Treats for Us](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-coffee-mocha-latte), this unexpected treat is said to be simultaneously airy, sweet and savory.

The Canadian phenomenon of ketchup-flavored potato chips has garnered a devoted following, with fans of this unique snack often displaying a willingness to explore other condiment-flavored snacks for a delightful taste adventure. Adventurous snackers will want to try this unconventional snack flavor, as well as other unexpected collaborations from French's in the future.

Ketchup Cotton Candy will be available at select locations across Ontario and British Columbia and for every Ketchup Cotton Candy given out, two meals will be donated to [Food Banks Canada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frenchsicle).
