If there was any doubt about Leamington’s love for tomatoes, that was cast aside on Friday, June 24 at Seacliff Park beach, when the Frenchsicle showed up. A busy parade to the Frenchsicle stand kept three French’s Canada representatives hopping as area residents and beachgoers tried the allnew ketchup popsicles. Ages ranged from a 10-month-old toddler to some senior citizens who would not give their ages, but most — if not all — were pleasantly surprised by the taste. “It’s like a Caesar flavoured popsicle,” said most people after their
first lick. Young Elliana Ribble — 10-months old — took a lick of her dad’s Frenchsicle and then reached out for more. Karlie Vriesema and Victoria Desrosiers, both of Windsor, were spending time on the beach and happened upon the frozen ketchup treats by accident as they came to use the facilities. Reluctantly, they gave in and each opened one up, but were both surprised by the flavour. “I like it and that’s my final verdict,” said Karlie as the pair walked back to the beach. The Frenchsicle is part of an overall promotion
from French’s Canada and they’ve been given away in only three places across the country — Vancouver, Toronto and Leamington. They are made from 100 per cent Canadian tomatoes,” said Brianna Bedard, Senior Product Manager for French’s, “Leamington tomatoes.” The trio of representatives, including Bedard, said that ‘business’ had been brisk since they arrived around 11:00 am. They spent about three hours there and went through about 800 Frenchsicles. For every Frenchsicle they gave away, French’s will donate two meals to Food Banks Canada.
