HEINZ has launched a -edition HEINZ Chip Dip, featuring their classic ketchup in a new wide-mouth jar format designed specifically for potato chips. The launch coincides with National Potato Chip Day on March 14, serving as a market test for potential permanent portfolio addition.
The initiative addresses an interesting market gap: while most North Americans regularly dip French fries in ketchup, less than 10% do the same with potato chips, according to a recent survey of 2,000 Americans and Canadians aged 18-43. The HEINZ Chip Dip package includes a ketchup bottle, a wide-mouthed glass dipping jar, and a bag of potato chips.
The product is available nationwide through www.HEINZChipDip.com via Walmart.com while supplies last. Consumers are encouraged to share feedback using #HeinzChipDipChallenge, particularly if they want the product to become a permanent offering.
Capri Sun has launched Moon Punch, its first-ever glow-in-the-dark pouch collection, coinciding with the upcoming Total Lunar Eclipse. The launch features eight collectible pouches, each designed after different moon phases, available nationwide at major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Kroger.
From March 13-14, consumers can participate in an exclusive promotion by scanning the moon through Snapchat during the Total Lunar Eclipse for a chance to receive a free carton of Moon Punch and a flashlight. This cosmic cherry-flavored beverage launch follows a series of brand innovations, including the multi-serve jug, pallet of pouches at Walmart, and first single-serve bottle in over 20 years.
The initiative aims to encourage outdoor exploration among children, addressing concerns that today's youth spend less time outdoors than previous generations. The Total Lunar Eclipse, visible to North Americans on March 14, occurs on average once every 2.5 years.

The launch responds to consumer demand, as nearly one-in-five Crystal Light fans already use the product as a mixer. The beverages feature triple-filtered vodka and light carbonation, initially available in two flavors: Wild Strawberry and Lemonade. The product will first launch in the Northeast U.S. region at $9.99 for a four-pack, with plans for expansion and new flavors in 2026.
