Zaxby's, a US fast-food chain offering chicken wings, sandwiches and salads, has partnered with popsicle brand Frios to introduce sauce-flavoured popsicles. The frozen product will feature two of Zaxby’s well-known sauces: Zax Sauce and Tongue Torch. Patrick Schwing, chief marketing and strategy officer at Zaxby’s said: "’Saucesicles’ were created for our most loyal fans that can't get enough of our signature sauces. The collaboration with Frios is built on flavour, bringing together two southern brands." The Zax Sauce-flavoured ‘Saucesicle’ features all the sweet and tangy and creamy flavours created by the secret blend of spices, black pepper and Worcestershire Sauce. The Tongue Torch ‘Saucesicle’ includes a mild heat of tomato with notes of garlic, paprika, turmeric and a hint of lime. Cliff Kennedy, CEO and founder of Frios commented: "Partnering with Zaxby's on this one-of-a-kind project has been a fantastic opportunity, bringing to life Zaxby's unique idea for a new offering of their sauces."
