Ice Cream-Flavored Pretzels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Flipz Cookies & Cream Pretzels Address Consumer Interests

— January 30, 2021 — Marketing
The Flipz Cookies & Cream pretzels are the latest offering from the Pladis-owned brand that will offer consumers with a salty way to enjoy the namesake ice cream flavor.

The snack starts off with salty pretzels that have been covered with a cookies & cream glaze to give them the perfect level of sweetness. The flavor was created in a bid to offer shoppers with a new variety to pick up as they scour store shelves for some of the latest treats.

Marketing Director at Pladis Jonathan Bull spoke on the Flipz Cookies & Cream pretzels saying, "Cookies & Cream felt like the natural fit for the latest Flipz variant, as this flavor phenomenon shares the brand’s American roots and has become a classic combination both in the US and worldwide. Given that Flipz has built an incredibly loyal shopper base since launching in the UK – with a strong repeat purchase rate of 33% – we are confident that the latest addition to the Flipz line-up will be a hit with British shoppers.”
