The Haribo Push Up ice cream has been created in collaboration between the signature candy brand and Wall's in the UK that will offer consumers with a new way to satisfy their treat craving this summer. The product consists of a vanilla and strawberry ice cream that's held inside a tube with a pusher in the bottom that allows for consumption at a relaxed pace. The stick holder on the treat is hollow and filled with Haribo Goldbears gummy bears to add a touch of additional sweetness as well as visual intrigue.
Brand Manager for Wall's at Unilever Emily Gooding commented on the Haribo Push Up ice cream saying, "We know that innovation is the number one driver for category growth, so this year we are bringing shoppers and retailers a host of new products that we hope will generate excitement and help boost ice cream sales."
