You might not know it thanks to the recent rebranding, but [Mini Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higgidy-rolls) are the same [classic cake bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcvities-penguin-cake-bar) that [Cadbury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-mini-rolls) has been selling since 1962. In order to make this snack more appealing to the eyes and tastebuds of modern customers, a few details were changed, mostly to do with presentation. To go along with witty quips printed on the packaging like "I'm on a Roll" and "ROFL" that make reference to laughter, the filling in the rolls was reshaped to look like a speech mark. For continuity, this icon is also seen framing the quotes on the snack wrappers.

The goal of the rebranding was ultimately to create a bold, fun and "big personality" for the snack that would make flavors like Raspberry, Milk Chocolate, Orange and Banana seem to shout at consumers from the shelves of stores.
