At a Great Outdoor Cinema event this week, Mackie's Crisps is giving attendees the first chance to taste its brand-new Sticky Toffee Pudding popcorn, which is said to recreate the taste of a classic pudding in a snackable form. At the film screenings by the Great Outdoor Cinema, the pre-launch is being paired with beloved family films.
The new flavor is not set to reach consumers in stores until late winter so event-goers will truly be treated to this new flavor first. Unlike other creative kinds of popcorn from the brand, this one will be sold year-round once it launches. This new flavor promises to help the brand prepare for the festive season and its unique ingredients have the potential to increase its chances of being an impulse purchase.
