There’s no day better than #InternationalPineappleDay to kick off The Dole® Can It Pineapple Snack Hackathon, a three-week long contest seeking to find the next crave-worthy snack. After popularizing the Pineapple Upside Down Cake in a Dole-led recipe contest in 1925 inspiring generations to come, canned pineapple is already a beloved and well-understood ingredient, but its true snacking potential often goes unnoticed. It can be so much more than just an ingredient—it can be the centerpiece of an extraordinary snacking experience. So, Dole is asking consumers, "Can It Pineapple? Dole can! Can you?" when considering a unique creation to snack on. Head over to @DoleSunshine on Instagram and on TikTok to submit your best snack hack using the hashtags #DoleSnackHackathonContest, #CanItPineapple. One grand prize winner will win: a two-night stay with one guest at any Staypineapple hotel, a supply of Dole canned pineapple and ultimate bragging rights. Additional weekly winners will be selected based on themes: Week 1: Tastes of Nostalgia Week 2: Globally-Inspired Week 3: Simple Bites For more information about the Dole Can It Pineapple Snack Hackathon and how to enter, read more at https://lnkd.in/gkP7byuA

I recently discovered a gem of a snack on Amazon thanks to their Subscribe and Save program - Nature Valley Soft-Baked Oatmeal Squares in Peanut Butter flavor, and they have quickly become a favorite in my pantry! First off, let's talk about convenience. The Subscribe and Save program not only ensures I never run out of these delicious squares, but it also saves me an additional 15%, making them not only tasty but also budget-friendly and delivered to my door. Now, onto the taste - these oatmeal squares are incredibly flavorful. The combination of soft-baked texture and rich peanut butter flavor is simply divine. They're not overly sweet, which I appreciate, and they have just the right amount of chewiness to satisfy that snack craving without feeling heavy. One of my favorite ways to enjoy these oatmeal squares is during tea time. Paired with a hot cup of my favorite tea, they make for a delightful and satisfying snack. The wholesome oats and protein from the peanut butter also make them a great option for a quick breakfast on busy mornings. I also love that these squares are individually packaged, making them perfect for on-the-go snacking or throwing into lunch boxes for a nutritious treat. Overall, Nature Valley Soft-Baked Oatmeal Squares in Peanut Butter flavor are a winner in my book. They're tasty, convenient, and versatile, making them a must-have for anyone looking for a delicious snack that won't disappoint. Highly recommended!

After a three year 📆 test run, the McDonald's McPlant failed to take root ❌ 🌱 This month McD’s pulled the plug on the ~600 locations carrying BeyondMeat’s alternative to the chain’s usual meat patties. That was a profoundly generous test window taking into account everything McD’s already knew about its patrons across geographies and demographics. Despite the heat #plantbased "meat" is taking, this marriage was a prime example of two brands and two consumer bases that simply were never going to co-mingle successfully. McD’s customer base is too broad and price-driven. And the legacy of McD’s best-selling items are too entrenched in animal-based protein 🍔 and guilty indulgence, for this #cobrand to have been a win for any plant-based alternative. The psychographics of plant-based meat lovers, was also never aligned with the McD’s consumer experience, and stunted by the McPlant’s isolation as the anchor, vegetarian-adjacent option. When it comes to fast food, the plant-based community has options like Kevin Hart’s Hart House, dedicated to plant-based across the menu, vs. a single menu item. And there are other plant-based, #fastfood focused doors regionally, and they are better equipped to court this consumer. So, is this another nail in the coffin ⚰️ for plant-based meat? No. It’s less about new nails in the category, but rather how much deeper existing nails are driven. The misalignment here was clear from the start. It was an initiative from a newly publicly-traded company (Beyond Meat, listed on NASDAQ in 2019) to show investors potentially lucrative growth and support stock price – a publicly traded company’s duty. And it was an experiment for McD’s, which can afford to experiment at this level, and ultimately learn more about their core customer in the process. And speaking of collabs, because McD’s never stops innovating, the brand just launched its new “Special Grade Garlic Sauce”, with #anime brand Jujutsu Kaisen. Another sign that new #asian flavors are finding their way into the mainstream (like soju, and new sake variations in alc). #foodandbeverage

#Deepdive: Does Welch Fruit Snacks have what it takes to go big with Gordon Ramsay? 🍇🔥 Welch’s has launched its largest-ever campaign, “Wholly Fruit,” and they’ve brought in none other than the fiery celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay to be their Chief Fruit Officer (CFO)! Let’s dive into the juicy details! 🥝 .. Here’s what’s happening: 1️⃣ Welch’s Fruit Snacks has aired its first #TV commercial in its 24-year history. 2️⃣ Gordon Ramsay, known for his high standards, stars in the commercial, promoting the brand’s commitment to using “whole fruit” — every edible part of the fruit. 3️⃣ The campaign, crafted by Gut Miami, will be all over #broadcast, #digital, and social channels this summer. So, what makes Welch’s Fruit Snacks different? 🤔 They’re emphasizing their use of the whole fruit — peel, skin, pulp, and all. This sets them apart from competitors who often use just fruit juice or concentrate. Time for some numbers! 📊 -> The campaign will feature multiple 30-second spots with Ramsay criticizing generic fruit snacks and recommending Welch’s. -> There’s a whole educational initiative aimed at teaching consumers the difference between true fruit snacks and fruit-flavored snacks. And there’s more! 🚚 -> Ahead of the launch, Welch’s teased the campaign with out-of-home billboards and a “Fruit Truck” in NYC’s SoHo, giving away free fruit snacks and spreading the word. What’s next? With Ramsay’s help, Welch's aims to convince more health-conscious consumers that their snacks are the superior choice. But here’s my concern 📛📛 -> The market for better-for-you snacks is getting crowded. Will Welch’s and Ramsay’s partnership stand out? What do you think? Will this bold move pay off, or is the competition too fierce? Let’s discuss! 👇 .. Do follow Gulnaaz G for more insights, and for daily updates. Best, (Gulnaaz G) Tags: #Marketing #Advertising #FoodAndBeverage #Campaign #GordonRamsay #WelchsFruitSnacks #HealthySnacks #WholeFruit

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 💥 We couldn’t be more excited to announce the launch of trüfrü in the UK this week 🍓 trüfrü is a delicious, US award-winning frozen snack made from real fruit, double immersed in delicious smooth chocolate. It burst onto the US snacking scene in 2017, and has since reached nearly $200m sales, completely changing the game in the US frozen category. trüfrü not only tastes really indulgent, but also fulfills needs we know consumers are now looking for in the frozen category. Each serving is less than 92 kcal, gluten-free, has no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and is made with 100% real fruit, picked ripe. Our UK launch has moved from idea to in-store in just 8 months, which is down to the hard work, agility, and pace of the team involved. It also shows what’s possible when insurgent businesses join Mars Snacking, with our commitment to nurturing emerging and founder-led brands, while supporting their accelerated growth journey. The launch goes off with a bang this week, with listings in multiple channels and key national grocers. Watch out for trüfrü popping up across the UK over the coming weeks and months – we know that when you try it, you’ll love it as much as we do 😊 https://lnkd.in/eTaQzVZ7 #FutureofSnacking #trufru

Are you going to the 2024 Summer Fancy Food Show next month? Maybe I’ll see you there! “But why are you gonna be there, Jeremy? You don’t make fancy food!!” It’s true. *I* don’t make specialty foods. But I do eat fancy food 😋… and I also make the tool that’s helping these brands scale their gifting channel. Zest is the secret sauce that brands like Milk Bar, Brightland, Jasper Hill Farm, and more are using to give their customers: - the fastest way to send gifts to multiple addresses. - a modern gifting experience via email, link, or text. - easy bulk address upload when OG shipping directly is preferred. - the power to personalize and customize gifts in seconds. Specialty food brands are no stranger to doing things differently and adopting new stuff. They have innovation baked into them, so it only makes sense that these brands are leading the way with modern tools like Zest. So if you're going, hit me up - I'd love to meet you, hear about your brand, and see how Zest can help! Psst, check out this whole post that talks about this market’s massive growth and how Zest fits into its innovative spirit 👉 https://lnkd.in/efCXaAw8 #FancyFoodShow
