The Leftovers is a look at some of the product ideas that are popping up everywhere. Some are interesting, some sound amazing, and some are the kinds of ideas we would never dream of. We can’t write everything we suggest, so here are some leftover items from our inbox:
Pepperidge Farm says thank you with a new roll.
Campbell Soup Co.’s Pepperidge Farm is skipping Halloween and preparing for Thanksgiving with the launch of Stuffing Seasoned Rolls.
The rolls are inspired by the classic side dish and are made with the flavor of sage and onion to create a “light yet fluffy bite,” the company said.
“As fall approaches, we start to see a surge in demand for Pepperidge Farm rolls,” said Ama Auwarter, vice president of bakery marketing for Campbell Snacks. “With this in mind, we thought it was the perfect time to introduce our latest innovation that captures the quintessential holiday flavors in every dish.”
The food industry is working hard to launch seasonal products.
The pumpkin spice craze began during the summer months. Krispy Kreme, Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and more all launched fall-themed products in August. And last year Pepperidge Farm Christmas themed goldfish October at the earliest.
The new rolls will be available for a limited time at retailers this fall and will join the recently launched Brioche and Hearty White.
