More than just the UK’s number one lollipop brand Chupa Chups, currently worth £17.7m and growing at +5%, is once again leading innovation in the category with the launch of Big Babol Magic Cubes – colour-changing bubble-gum. This exciting launch comes at a time when Chupa Chups Big Babol is currently outperforming the market, growing at +23%, with the total category worth £17m and growing at a rapid rate of 10%.
Soft and chewy in texture, the moreish Magic Cubes are set to deliver excitement with every bite. With three different vibrant colour combinations to explore, these mouth-watering, tutti-fruity flavoured cubes are not only tasty but transform as you chew – adding an element of surprise and fun. This magical twist on traditional bubble-gum encourages playful interaction and engagement for both existing Chupa Chups fans and new shoppers alike.
Available from June across the convenience channel, an engaging, organic social media campaign will support the launch, ensuring awareness amongst the key teen shopper demographic.
Kim McMahon, brand manager at Chupa Chups, said: “As a brand wholeheartedly committed to ‘Forever Fun,’ Chupa Chups continuously seeks to innovate and bring joy to consumers of all ages – and our latest addition of Magic Cubes is no exception!
