Toni's in Wishaw marks pineapple day with free fritters
Toni's Fish & Chips will offer 500 free pineapple fritters to in-store customers on Friday, June 27, in partnership with Dole Packaged Foods Europe to mark International Pineapple Day. Tao Baidoun, brand manager at Dole Packaged Foods, said: "With our recent research revealing that Brits are willing to try out more sweet and savoury combos, what better way to blend the two together than adding a sweet Hawaiian side to a classic savoury UK takeaway, and what better time to do so than International Pineapple Day. (Image: Dole Packaged Foods) "Our partnership with Toni's allows people to get the best of both worlds and bring a tropical twist to their Friday dish." The first 500 customers who visit the shop from 11am will receive a free pineapple fritter with their order.

Popular Disney theme park treat comes to grocery stores
From Mickey waffles to Grey Stuff, Disney theme parks offer some of the most iconic foods, which continue to set the brand apart from its rivals. Although delicious, its food offerings can only be obtained inside its parks, making every visit a unique experience, but also a sad goodbye. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter No other theme park has been able to make its park food as iconic as Disney has. However, one of the most beloved food items has exited the park doors and become available at local grocery stores nationwide.

Aside from its movies, Disney's theme parks are a central aspect of what keeps fans engaged. They allow visitors to interact with the characters and become immersed in the magic. Image Source:Disney World's Magic Kingdom was the first park to introduce Dole Whip in 1984, and the treat quickly gained fan-favorite status. Since then, the refreshing take on sorbet has become available at all its parks. Anyone who has visited Disney World knows that walking around the parks for hours under the hot Florida sun, especially during summer, can be excruciating.

Feeling the ice-cold cup and getting a bite of that refreshing pineapple whip makes many wish they could get it anywhere. Well now, that's possible. Disney fans will now get to enjoy their beloved Dole Whip from the comfort of their homes, since Dole Packaged Foods has launched the new Dole Whip frozen cups and made them available at Costco (COST) and select grocery stores nationwide. The single-serve Dole Whip is made with fruit as its primary ingredient and comes in two flavors: the original Pineapple and Mango. Although this might be the first time some have heard about this innovative move, it's not the first time the popular Disney treat has hit the freezer aisle.

However, Disney fans are a tough crowd, and when it came to recreating the beloved theme park treat, the products failed to meet their expectations. Dole didn't explicitly mention customers' dissatisfaction with the first release. Still, it has reformulated the product, and its website states that the new version offers an "improved flavor." "We worked hard to deliver a recipe that captures the flavor and texture people expect from Dole Whip," said Dole Packaged Foods President Orzse Hodi in a press release. "Now, we are bringing Dole Whip to freezers everywhere for fans to enjoy anytime, anywhere, bringing a little joy to everyday moments."
