Latest variant rolls out to retailers across the UK
BRITISH sweet manufacturer Swizzels has announced the national rollout of the latest flavour of its Drumstick Squashies brand with the new Strawberry & Cream flavour.
Available now to retailers across the UK, the new launch aims to support the increased consumer demand for new flavours from the popular brand, according to Swizzels.
Aiming to capture sales from sharing opportunities or as a self-treat occasion with shoppers, the 120g bags come in both price-marked – at £1.15 – and plain formats with an RSP of also £1.15.
The Squashies brand has continued to perform strongly with consumers across the nation, with the brand now sitting at a worth of £52.5million in value sales, according to Circana Total Market data.
Further to this, Circana also found Drumstick Squashies to be the number one sugar confectionery hanging bag in the market.
The new Strawberry & Cream flavour joins the already strong range of variants under the Drumstick Squashies brand including Drumstick Original, Bubblegum, Sour Cherry & Apple and Banana & Blueberry, all of which have become essential stock in retailers’ sweets aisles, says Swizzels.
Clare Newton, trade marketing manager at Swizzels, said: “Our mouth-watering Squashies Strawberry & Cream flavour reflects our dedication to creating exciting new taste sensations for our consumers.
“Our newest launch is sure to become a must-have sugar confectionery product, combining moreish Squashies with the classic British combo of Strawberry & Cream.
“Plus, the timing couldn’t be sweeter – launching just in time for National Strawberries & Cream Day on 21 May.
“The latest addition to our best-selling hanging bag brand is a direct result of the outstanding success our retailers have had with our current range of Squashies, coupled with the fantastic feedback from our consumer research.”
