At BUSH’s® Beans, we love to give the public the expertly crafted flavors they crave. That’s why our next addition to the Bush’s family of products will be a new, limited time only sriracha beans, available for only six months. Sriracha is the undisputed king of hot sauces, renowned for its rich, deep flavor and perfect level of heat. We want to get Millennials excited about this fantastic new product. Can you help us come up with the right marketing strategy?
