Hey Brian, we have some really exciting news!! Can you please contact us with your best phone number?
Then, last night, the page announced the news that Birds Eye waffles were being introduced to Australia
Yes, he had succeeded:
BIG NEWS !!! The rumours are true, Birds Eye Australia are launching Potato Waffles in Australia because of this campaign. It’s a soft launch and they will not be sold everywhere initially. When I find out which stores and areas are getting them I’ll post these up.
Brian told DailyEdge.ie why he started the campaign up:
I do love potato waffles but I also loved them when living at home and survived on them on college. Basically I missed them and thought sure why not set up a campaign, I’m sure I’m not the only one who misses them. I think the Aussies will embrace them as well.
He tells us that they are to be launched in Woolworths soon and a future roll out to Australian supermarket Coles is on the cards as well.
This is a story of how one man’s insatiable desire for potato waffles can overcome all the odds.
