There's something so nostalgic about going to the grocery store and picking up the big red bag of Ore-Ida tater tots. Even as an adult, I still buy tater tots to eat with my macaroni and cheese and hot dogs. For other tater tot lovers like myself, you'll be stoked to learn that Ore-Ida has just introduced two new shapes to its lineup — its first ones in nearly two decades. And they aren't boring, to say the least.
What are Ore-Ida's new tater tot shapes?
The two new Ore-Ida tater tot shapes are Star and Dino. They'll make the perfect addition to any spring party or summer barbecue where tater tots are essential.
“Ore-Ida invented Tater Tots — and now, we’re shaping what comes next,” Claire Lukaszewski, senior brand manager of Ore-Ida, says in a press release. “With Dino and Star Tater Tots, we’re building on more than 70 years of potato expertise to bring new energy to the category — delivering the same great taste people expect in formats that feel fun, relevant, and made for today.”
Fans of dinosaur chicken nuggets will now have new dino-shaped tater tots to eat alongside their protein at dinnertime. They come in the shapes of a tyrannosaurus rex, triceratops, brontosaurus and a dinosaur foot print.
And, for the kiddos and adults who love to make mealtime a party, the star shaped tater tots will bring geometric fun to the table in a whole new way. The release is timed for the nation's 250th anniversary. To celebrate the momentous occasion, they'll come in limited-edition packaging, thanks to Ore-Ida's partnership with America250, an organization dedicated to getting people involved in the celebration of the country's milestone birthday.
When will Ore-Ida's new tater tot shapes be available?
The Ore-Ida Dino and Star shaped tater tots are available now, in 28-ounce bags and in 5-pound club sizes, in the freezer aisle at major retailers nationwide. Pricing starts at $4.89 for the smaller bag.
