Child-Targeted Drink Pods

These Nesquik Hot Chocolate Pods are for the Nescafé Dolce Gusto System

— July 11, 2019 — Lifestyle
The Nesquik hot chocolate pods have been unveiled by Nestlé as a new product for use with its Nescafé Dolce Gusto system to provide young consumers with a caffeine-free drink. The pods are reported to create a delicious, chocolatey drink that is a good source of calcium; it's finished with a generous amount of foam on the top for an indulgent touch. Although perfect for children, the drink pods are great for consumers of all ages who are looking for an alternative to the coffee and tea drinks that can be brewed with the aforementioned machine.

Nescafé Dolce Gusto UK & Ireland Business Unit Manager Richard Howatson spoke on the new Nesquik hot chocolate pods saying, "I’m delighted to welcome Nesquik to the Dolce Gusto offering. Nesquik is a firm family favourite, and a great addition to our current offerings of coffees, hot chocolates and teas. We are committed to offering our consumers the widest possible choice in the fast-growing and competitive portioned serve capsule category.”
