The marketing surrounding the first and second instalments of Wicked explores contrasting personalities symbolized by color, and the freshly launched Wicked: For Good x Classic Cream Whipped Light Cream is a fantastical treat that promises to make drinks and desserts more magical with a touch of pink. This playful, limited-edition whipped cream with a decadent salted caramel flavor pays tribute to both witches of Oz—Glinda through the whipped light cream's unconventionally bright hue and Elphaba's iconic green through the body of the canister.
Wicked: For Good x Classic Cream Whipped Light Cream will be accompanied by a campaign created in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences, featuring user-generated content, shareable social assets and engaging digital activations.
