HEINZ Debuts the 'HEINZ Chip Dip' for Potato Chips
Debra John — March 12, 2025 — Marketing
HEINZ has introduced a limited-time offering, the 'HEINZ Chip Dip,' designed specifically for pairing with potato chips. While ketchup has long been a popular choice for dipping french fries and other fried potatoes, the combination with potato chips has been less common. In response, HEINZ is encouraging fans to try something new with this specially crafted dip.
The brand's survey findings show that while many enjoy dipping french fries in ketchup, fewer people do the same with chips—however, a significant number expressed interest in trying this pairing. HEINZ Chip Dip makes it easy for consumers to experiment by offering a convenient set, including a bottle of ketchup, a wide-mouthed dipping jar, and a bag of chips.
Available starting March 12 at Walmart.com while supplies last, just in time for National Potato Chip Day, the Chip Dip offering invites fans to share their experiences using #HeinzChipDipChallenge, allowing HEINZ to assess consumer feedback for potential future releases.
