Heinz ships nuclear frites

Heinz has unleashed a new series of multi-hued, potato-based flavor treats:

They're called Ore-Ida(R) Funky Fries(TM), and they're the wildest, wackiest, most fun frozen food on the market today. Featuring five funky varieties such as cinnamon and sugar, cocoa and even a blue variety, new Funky Fries are the most radical thing to hit french fries since ketchup itself…

— Cinna-Stiks(TM), cinnamon and sugar potatoes, perfect for breakfast, snack time or any time;

— Cocoa Crispers(TM), cocoa-y potatoes, designed for kids with a sweet tooth;

— Kool Blue(TM), crispy, seasoned potatoes with a radical blue color that are sure to light up traditional french fries;

— Crunchy Rings(TM), cylindrical potatoes that crunch as they delight; and

— Sour Cream & Jive(TM), crispy potatoes seasoned with just the right amount of sour cream and chive flavoring.
