Based on our research, few consumers prioritize texture/ touch as a key sense when selecting foods and beverages, but there is plenty of evidence to support the idea that texture is critical in driving satisfaction. On Monday, Mike Kostyo, in his #mondaysparks, shared an ice cream product that came with a gorgeous lattice top and cherry filling that created surprise and delight as well as added texture. When I saw this article from Food Business News (https://lnkd.in/gG3yis98) in one of my morning newsletters, it reminded me of that product. There's no question US food/ beverage manufacturers and operators should be looking more often abroad for trends and inspirations, but I also love rethinking the ice cream experience beyond new mix-ins. Ice cream is beloved and ubiquitous which makes it ripe for a fresh new look and take that not only creates surprise and delight but also keeps consumers engaged and excited. #innovation #trends2024 #newproducts #cpg #icecream #foodandbeverageindustry #foodservice #restaurants #consumerbehavior #consumerinsights #menumattersllc
