The Cadbury Duos product range is being updated by brand owner Mondelēz International in a bid to help encourage portion control amongst consumers and support the concept of mindful snacking. The new Twist Wrap packaging will be used across the Duos range, which can be twisted to reseal it and save some of the treat for later. This could help consumers to be more mindful about enjoying foods that should be limited like chocolate.
Brand Manager for Cadbury at Mondelēz International Kelly Lawrence spoke on packaging update for the Cadbury Duos product range saying, "Following good results during concept testing, we are excited to announce the new packaging this year, allowing shoppers to indulge in a sweet treat then easily reseal and save the remainder of the product for later. We have put a lot of time and investment into ‘portionable’ packaging as a way of empowering consumers to snack in a more mindful way, and we are excited to see what shoppers think. Duos are the growth driver of singles, particularly in the independent convenience channel, so an important part of any retailer’s chocolate range."
