Are you a choc-a-holic?
Why not make the most of some free chocolate bar treats?
Whether it’s a Mars Bar, a block of milk chocolate or a Crunchie that’s your preferred choccy bar, milk chocolate is one of the most purchased treats around the world. On Britain alone, the yearly spend on chocolate is £3 billion, thats £3,000,000,000! The majority of this is spent with the big 3 manufacturers, Cadbury, Rowntree and Nestle.
The most successful chocolate treats are Dairy Milk (Milk Chocolate), Snickers, Kit Kat, Dairy Milk (Fruit), Galaxy, Mars, Dairy Milk (Caramel), Double Decker, Fuse, Flake, Crunchie and Twirl. Additionally, there are special extras such as Wispa and Creme Egg which are available at different times of year or made for limited periods.
In recent times, the demand for mini bars has risen dramatically, particularly around the winter season. For example, Cadbury Heroes can be purchased in massive boxes approaching the Xmas period, and commonly sell well immediately before Christmas as demand is that high. Many people will have boxes of treats waiting for guests and family occasions at this time of year.
Reports about the nation’s health come to the forefront of public attention from time to time, and as a result, chocolate manufacturers have set up ideas such as Treatwise to raise customer awareness of the health value of their treats.
Adverts on the Television might be fast to suggest that chocolate is full of calcium, which we all know is great for teeth and bones, however a simple look at the packaging shows the downside of sugar and fat to highlight just two. In reality, everything in proportion is widely considered as sound guidance, and chocolate treats are no different. Awareness is the key, and the chocolate manufacturers can’t be accused of trying to mask the facts, even if their marketing partners are excelling in their jobs of talking up product features almost to fault.
Grab yourself some free chocolate bar today, or if healthy snacking is more your bag, why not try out a free fruit box?
