1. SLUSH PUPPIE FIZZIE
Available to buy now, Nichols PLC Slush Puppie Fizzie soft drinks come in the brand’s familiar variants of Strawberrie and Blue Raspberrie across grocery, wholesale and convenience channels.

2. KITKAT CEREAL
NESTLE Cereals has brought KitKat to the cereal bowl.
KitKat Cereal comes in partnership with the wider Nestle chocolate team as the firm reckons it has maintained the taste and essence of the original chocolate bar.
The new cereal will be available across all major retailers from this month, according to Nestle.
3. PURPLE MYSTERY FANTA
SOFT drink brand Fanta has turned purple for the return of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ What The Fanta campaign for the fourth year running.
The new mystery variant is zero sugar and comes in 330ml cans as well as 500ml and 2L bottles.
As part of the new marketing this year, consumers can scan the QR codes seen on packs to unlock a series of interactive online clues hidden within episodes of ‘The Fabulous Flavour Hunt’.
4. DORITOS: FLAME GRILLED WHOPPER FLAVOURÂ
PEPSICO brand Doritos has teamed up with fast food chain Burger King to launch its new Doritos Flame Grilled Whopper variant.

5. RUSTLERS MARINARA MEATBALL SUB SANDWICH
KEPAK aims to make the most of the lunchtime occasion with its new Rustlers Marinara Meatball Sub Sandwich.
The new sandwich was launched exclusively to the convenience channel last month with an RRP of £2.30 per sub.
6. STRONGBOW TROPICAL CIDER
HEINEKEN has expanded its Strongbow cider range with a new Tropical Cider flavour.
The latest addition comes as the drinks giant has overhauled the entire Strongbow range with a new look that aims to bring in a new generation of drinkers to the brand.
Along with the makeover, the new flavour combines mango and pineapple flavours just in time for the spring months.
