Building on the popularity of its iconic Smiles, McCain Foods has debuted three new frozen appetizers that are sure to appeal to kids and adults alike.
Of the three new appetizers, the first is a cheesy take on the brand's signature Emoticons. The new McCain Emoticons Cheese Flavored Mashed Potato Shapes consist of mashed potatoes molded into the shape of familiar emojis and seasoned with a real cheddar cheese flavoring. For extra fun, the emojis come in 'ha ha,' 'winky,' 'wow,' 'lovely,' and heart-shaped designs.
While the new McCain Emoticons are likely to appeal to kids, adults are sure to love the new Seasoned Tasti Taters. These bite-sized appetizers are made from 100 percent real potatoes, and come in a tasty Buffalo or Sea Salt & Black Pepper flavor.
