It is available on Amazon from Sept. 23 and will be sold at participating retailers in early October, while quantities last.The brand said the idea for the new and “unexpected” drink came from fans having their mac n’ cheese in different ways like adding more KD cheese powder or experimenting with the latest “mac hack.”⁠Solly’s Craft Soda founder Adin Wener said the partnership with Kraft is an opportunity to introduce the independent Canadian company’s modern approach to craft soda to Canadians across the country.“This was an amazing challenge and product to work on,” said Wener. “It’s wonderfully strange — and somehow, it works.”The KD soda is just one of the brand’s Canadian launches to date. It previously launched products in Canada like KD Mac & Cheesecake in May and KD Ramen in June.Last month, the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto featured an exclusive Kraft Dinner smoothie from Booster Juice, which blended KD’s cheesy flavour with mangos, pineapple juice, skim milk and vanilla frozen yogurt.While now an American multinational company, Kraft Heinz has its Canadian roots. Kraft Foods was founded by James Lewis Kraft of Stevensville, Ont., and Heinz Canada was established in 1909 in Leamington, Ont. The two companies merged into Kraft Heinz Company in 2015 and is now one of the largest food and beverage companies in North America.This advertisement has not loaded yet.Notice for the Postmedia NetworkThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
