Knowing that the idea of ice cream with no added sugar is outrageous enough to some is the basis for Sweet Rebellion's branding. Promising to be "sweet by nature," wholesome ice cream flavors like Chocolate Hazelnut, Pistachio, Vanilla and Strawberry present sugar as the enemy.
Although this frozen dessert does tend to conjure up images of childhood innocence, Sweet Rebellion's rebellious packaging appeals to the growing numbers health-conscious consumers are no longer willing to purchase products with sugary additions, especially when nature can supply alternatives that are so much better.
