On February 6th, the high holiday of snacking, football fans will consume 1.1 million pounds of potato chips while cheering on the big game. Made with only all natural ingredients, Zesty Ranch scores a full-flavored win with game day guests as the latest addition to the snack buffet line-up.
"Party hosts know that game day celebrations are as much about the snack bowl as the players on the field and we're giving them new Zesty Ranch to score a snacking win before the kick-off," said Julie Dunmire, Kettle Brand marketing director.
Rounding out Kettle Brand's popular Krinkle Cut line, Zesty Ranch kicks up the creamy ranch flavor on a crunchy, thick potato chip with natural onion and black pepper blended with tangy sour cream and savory herbs.
"Not your typical ranch experience, Zesty Ranch is savory with a peppery kick, followed by lightly tangy sour cream layered on the ultimate crunchy chip," said Carolyn Richards, Kettle Brand chief flavor architect. "This is ranch done right."
As always, all Kettle Brand Potato Chips are made with only the finest potatoes and delicious blends of all natural, non-GMO ingredients and seasonings – no trans fats, no artificial colors or flavors and no preservatives.
Zesty Ranch Krinkle Cut will be available in select stores and online beginning in January 2011 in 2 oz., 5 oz. and 9 oz. sizes.
