Way Better Snacks has announced it’ll be introducing, Simply Sprouted “Oh, My Sweet Punkin Cranberry,” a seasonally-inspired snack that will be available in time for the upcoming Halloween holiday season. Just like the original line, these tortilla chips will feature sprouted grains, including flax and quinoa, as well as real pumpkin and cranberry to create a more wholesome holiday inspired snack option. Read More HERE “America’s changing taste buds: Tortilla Chips outselling Potato Chips” screamed the October 17th headline of www.thonline.com but it is a little inaccurate. The big story that has got the snack food industry paying attention is the news that not only does Salsa now outsell ketchup but Tortillas outsell burger and hot dog buns. With the demographics indicating that the US population now includes peoples of Hispanic origin, it is hardly surprising that what were once ethnic foods have become main-stream. It is suggested that American consumption of foods such as tacos, dressings, hot sauces etc., are so ubiquitous that they are considered American foods, just as pizza and spaghetti have long been a mainstay of US diets. It is believed that people relate tacos, tortilla chips and burritos with fast food rather than with Hispanic culture. According to consumer research firm Packaged Foods, Hispanic foods and beverages were an $8 billion in the US last year. As this is a combined total and the US Potato Chips industry is worth a bit more than that annually, some ofthe stories you may read elsewhere are laced with a certain level We found this snippet on PR.com "Quinoa (Keen-wa). It’s all the rage amongst the health conscious and has rapidly gained popularity in the mainstream marketplace. An ancient, wholesome seed that’s being rediscovered by nutritionists and everyday consumers for its nutritional punch, you might not expect to find quinoa in the snack aisle.

Burts said, "This time we have blended the smooth, bitter taste of Guinness with fresh jalapeño chillies and juicy, succulent beef flavours to enhance the layers of barley and hops. Guaranteed to shake up all snacking occasions whether in the pub, round your mates or gathered in front of the TV, these crisps are undoubtedly moreish and will have you coming back for more." They will be hitting the shelves soon and Burts will launch their new flavour with a giveaway, which we will include details of as soon as we receive them.

"We believe shoppers will stop in their tracks when they see sweet Pringles and won’t be able to resist trying them – especially as consumers are more receptive to new and different flavours at Christmas in particular." This is a limited edition run for the run up to Christmas, but you can be assured that the Potato Chips & Crisps industry will be watching very closely. The flavour was road tested in the US last Christmas, and if sales are as the company hope, it could be a major breakthrough for the snack industry. The crossover between Potato Chips and Crisps to chocolates, Candy and Sweets is a potential cash cow.
