Sweet-Filled Syringes

Zotter's Chocoshots are the Perfect Prescription for Chocoholics

— May 26, 2011 — Lifestyle
Unfortunately, Zotter's Chocoshots aren't actually used for medicinal purposes; if they were, going to the doctor's office would be sweet!

These nifty novelty needles are a funny and filling way to get your daily chocolate fix! Chocoshots are small plastic syringes which resemble real medical needles (minus the actual needle), and are filled with delicious chocolate ganache. You can inject the sweet ganache right into your mouth without any sticky mess. These tasty Chocoshots are available in several scrumptious flavors, including dark chocolate, vanilla and even whiskey. The gooey ganache is a creamy consistency and can be enjoyed straight from the syringe or squeezed as a syrup topper on desserts.

Zotter's Chocoshots should be prescribed to any chocoholic with a serious sweet tooth.
Trend Themes
1. Interactive Food Serving - Chocoshots demonstrate the potential for innovative and interactive food serving experiences, breaking from traditional plating and presentation.
2. Novelty Packaging - Chocoshots explore the use of novelty packaging and unconventional forms of consumption, creating unique brand experiences and opportunities for product differentiation.
3. Alternative Application Devices - Chocoshots illustrate how alternative application devices can enhance the consumption experience of classic foods/drinks in new and exciting ways.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - F&B companies can explore the use of interactive and novel packaging to create differentiated brand experiences and increase consumer engagement, similar to Zotter's Chocoshots.
2. Pharmaceuticals - Pharmaceutical companies can look into developing sweet-filled syringes as a new form of medication application, potentially increasing medication adherence by creating a more enjoyable experience for patients.
3. Hospitality - Hotels and restaurants can incorporate interactive food serving experiences like the Chocoshots into their menus, adding an element of fun and playfulness to a dining experience and potentially differentiating themselves from competitors.
