Are you a chocoholic?
Why not make the most of some free chocolate bar treats?
Whether it’s a Mars a day, a block of Dairy Milk or a Kit Kat that’s your ideal snack, milk chocolate is one of the most common treats around the world. On Britain alone, the annual spend on chocolate is £3 billion, thats three thousand million pounds! The majority of this is purchase from the big three companies, Cadburys, Roundtree and Nestle.
The most common chocolate treats are Dairy Milk (Plain), Aero, Maltesers, Dairy Milk (Fruit), Boost, Mars, Dairy Milk (Caramel), Toffee Crisp, Twix, Flake, Crunchie and Yorkie. Additionally, there are special extras such as Caramac and Chocolate Orange which are seasonal or made for trial times.
In recent years, the popularity of mini bars has increased hugely, especially around the festive period. For example, Cadbury Heroes can be bought in large tins around the Xmas period, and commonly sell well in the run up to Christmas as supply struggles to meet demand. Many families will have tins of treats waiting for guests and family gatherings at this time of year.
Worries about the nation’s health come to the headlines of the media from time to time, and as a result, chocolate manufacturers have set up initiatives such as Treatwise to increase customer understanding of the nutritional value of their treats.
Ad breaks on the TV might be fast to suggest that chocolate is full of calcium, which we all know is good for bones and teeth, however a simple inspection of the packaging identifies the downside of sugar and fat to highlight a couple. Of course, things in moderation is widely regarded as good guidance, and chocolate treats are no exception. Awareness is the solution, and the chocolate manufacturers cannot be accused of trying to mask the truth, even if their marketing departments are successful in their role of highlighting product benefits al the expense of faults.
