Limited Edition Foods in 2007: Limited Edition Snacks
It’s never too late to look back at where you have been, especially when you are trying to map out where you are going. Before we delve into the hot new limited edition trends that are on the way in 2008, let’s take a look back at some of the limited edition snacks that intrigued our taste buds in 2007.
Snacks always seem to come in a variety of limited edition shapes, sizes, flavors and textures. The Oreo Dunker debuted in Canada as a limited edition, for example, and M&Ms created a limited edition that had nothing to do with the chocolate the classic candies are typically known for and instead tasted like "razzberries." We saw limited edition Strawberry Jelly Krimpets, bagels shaped like candy canes, and a plethora of other tasty treats.
Doritos offered one of the most interesting limited editions of the year, an unidentified limited edition chip that consumers got to taste and name themselves. Ruth’s Hemp Bar also had an intriguing idea, with a Red, White & Blueberry bar that was focused on raising political awareness among the brand’s followers.
There were also plenty of movie tie ins this year, as always, including the Krusty-Os cereal that helped promote The Simpsons movie.
While not technically a snack, California Pizza Kitchen’s limited edition Cajun Pizza was one of the most popular foods of the year if the traffic it brought to this blog is any indication at all. The post about this unique food was one of the most popular on the site for months after it went up, and the food itself was pretty popular as well. If you did not have a chance to try it when it was in the frozen food section you will have to head to a CPK restaurant, where the Cajun Pizza is a menu staple.
Whether salty or sweet, I am looking forward to covering more limited edition snacks for you in 2008.
