Mr Tayto launches two new flavours

After a nationwide vote, Ashbourne-based Tayto, one of Ireland’s most popular Irish brands, has aunched two new limited edition flavours, bringing a total of six mouth-watering choices to its offering.
A shout out was made by Mr Tayto on Facebook, for people to volunteer to become a ‘Tayto Top Secret Taste Tester’, and over 6,000 people applied to take part. An elite group of 500 were chosen and sent out a Tayto Tester parcel and when the votes came in, the result was crisp and clear.
Two new flavour filled packets of Tayto are about to burst onto the market. Bringing home the bacon is the sizzling ‘Tayto Bacon Melt’ and a real rib tickler is the sensational ‘Tayto Spare Rib’. Citing films such as ‘Babe’, ‘The Quiet Ham’ and ‘Lord of the Ribs’ as favourite movies, and ‘Michael Saucebender’, ‘Rack Nicholson’ and ‘Kevin Bacon’ as favourite actors, the two new flavours look set to add some sizzle to the Irish crisp market!
To celebrate the new additions, Tayto Park will be hosting ‘Flavours Day’ on 5th October, where families can enjoy a fun-filled day out and enter a competition to be in with a chance to win €3,000, an annual pass to Tayto Park, and a plentiful supply of their favourite Tayto crisps.
Mr Tayto said today: 'My Tayto Top Secret Taste Testers were my secret ingredient in choosing these two new flavours. It is crisp and clear to me that Bacon Melt and Spare Rib are going to be big hits with my Tayto fans'.
The new flavours are available for a limited period only. They will be available in all major stockists and there are a number of promotional retail offers to support the campaign, including special price points for multiple purchases, plus a collect mechanic on the new six packs to redeem free entry passes to Tayto Park.
