Better together: McCain Fries and Heinz Ketchup are stepping out as Canada's newest power couple
TORONTO, Feb. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - Kim and Pete. Rihanna and A$AP. Fries and ketchup? Like other famous couples, McCain Fries and Heinz Ketchup are letting a new romance play out on social media. It started on February 1 when followers of both brands noticed that @McCainCanada and @Heinz_ca had unfollowed everyone on their Instagram accounts - except for one another.
And that's just the start. Over the next few days, flirty tweets turned into more extreme displays of love. McCain sent Heinz a tray of floating french fries to eat in the bathtub after a long day. Heinz introduced jewelry, sharing a gold locket filled with ketchup - showing how McCain dunked its way into Heinz's heart. Risque photos and hand-carved potatoes were exchanged.
Later, new billboards were spotted in front of McCain and Heinz's corporate headquarters in Toronto.
"Things seem to be moving really fast for this couple," said Daniel Gotlib, Associate Director, Brand Building & Innovation, Heinz. "Which is funny, because Heinz Ketchup is notoriously slow."
"Fries and ketchup are at the height of their power together," said Matt Kohler, Managing Director, Canada Retail, McCain. "They bring to mind history's most compelling couples: they're great on their own, and unstoppable together."
With just a few days until Valentine's Day, Canadians can visit McCain and Heinz social channels to follow this developing love story. The best is yet to come.
