Flavours of the World comprises such flavors as Italian Pizza, Mexican BBQ, Caesar Salad and Tangy Ribs, among others.

The different flavors will be available for alternating runs of six to eight weeks each.

Paul Cooke, vice-president of marketing for Hostess, says the new line responds to the need to create excitement in the marketplace and the ‘growing interest in ethnic foods resulting from Canada’s multiculturalism.’

The second line introduced by Hostess is Crispy Fries, a product described as ‘thicker than chips, but crispier than fries.’

Crispy Fries come in two varieties, Spicy BBQ Wings and Crispy Sweet BBQ Wings. PA
