NEWS: Angel Delight, Galaxy, Marmite and Roses

Angel Delight: A recent study has found Angel Delight to be the nation's most beloved childhood dish with consumers commenting that it evoked strong memories of birthdays and summertime. Personally, on just the desserts and puddings front, I would have gone with something like a traditional homemade crumble or steamed pudding having grown up with my family's wonderful Sunday Dinners. Then again, everyone to their own.


Galaxy: Mars has added two new permanent additions to its Galaxy range under the name, 'Duet Bars'. The bars will feature two flavours - 'Cookies and Cream' and 'Caramel and Shortcake' - which will separately flavour the chocolate allowing consumer to choose whether they eat just one flavour at a time or both simultaneously. Retailing at 60p each, expect to see these bars in stores come August.

Marmite: It's summer so Marmite have decided to release a limited edition spread made with lager yeast. Apparently, this special yeast will make the spread a light, summery one. The product will come in two jars, ‘Summer of Love’ and ‘Summer of Hate’, which will sport illustrations inspired by the 60's. Moreover, only 94 'Summer of Hate' jars will be released nationally making them a fun collectors item. The jars are expected to retail at £3.49.


Roses: Cadbury has redesigned its iconic Roses carton, first released in 1938. A concave top has been applied to the carton's body to carve out a more distinctive look on store shelves. The new packaging will also be brought in for Cadbury Heroes and Terry’s Chocolate Orange Segsations.

NOSTALGIA HIT: 60's Wall's Ice Cream

From a time when TV here in the UK was still in its infancy, these black and white ads for Wall's ice cream are an interesting watch. The first one seamlessly flows from Gerry Anderson's (creator of Thunderbirds) 'Supercar' programme in what was a pretty well thought out bit of advertising. Whilst, the second one relates the key product feature, its 'rich dairy country taste', with supporting footage of a family enjoying themselves in the country - you have to love the music:)
