Soooo, in a food world gone mad where the biggest food debate of the day is generally “Does pineapple belong on a pizza” , enter 2 giants of the food industry. Neither is known for their ice cream skills, and probably neither ever will.
French’s Mustard, a 115 year old mustard icon, announced a mustard flavored ice cream in limited markets for the August 3rd, National Mustard Day. It is available for a limited time in NYC and LA, and is served with a pretzel cookie.
Oscar Mayer, a hot dog specialist since 1883 , owned by Kraft Foods, who also owns Heinz, who also makes mustard, decide to one up the ante:
Who eats just mustard @Frenchs? Condiments were made for Oscar Mayer hot dogs. Say hello to the Oscar Mayer Ice Dog Sandwich – 🌭 flavored ice cream, made with our better hot dogs, sandwiched with spicy mustard 🍦. Do you want to try this? Coming in August🔥 #OscarMayerIceCream
