The Peperami x Doritos BBQ Sweet Tang range is making its debut in the UK as a limited-edition range of snack products that are inspired by the taste of some tortilla chip classics. The product brings together the brand prowess of both Peperami and Doritos, and features meat snack sticks infused with the flavor of Doritos BBQ Sweet Tang to give it a truly exceptional snacking profile. The meat snack is arriving in a five-pack, Minis, and singles, which are each arriving at retailers this month for a limited time only.
Head of Peperami Marketing Karina Caricco spoke on the Peperami x Doritos BBQ Sweet Tang range saying, "This iconic partnership brings together two bold, much-loved brands. By pairing Peperami’s protein-packed sticks with Doritos’ distinctive flavour credentials, we are opening up new usage occasions and giving retailers a major opportunity to drive incremental sales. We expect this collaboration to attract more young adults into the category and further accelerate Peperami’s momentum.”
