McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes Cola Bottle flavor is a new special edition product from the pladis-owned brand that's crafted with the product's signature formulation with a surprise ingredient in the mix. The product boasts light sponge cake with dark chocolate coating that will reveal a cola-flavored jelly on the inside that replaces the usual orange variety. The result is a delicious treat that targets Gen Z shoppers who might not otherwise reach for a Jaffa Cake, but will be intrigued by the cola candy flavor profile.
Marketing Director - McVitie's at pladis UK&I Adam Woolf commented on the McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes Cola Bottle flavor saying, "Inspired by the enduring popularity of both McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes and Cola Bottle sweets, McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes Cola Bottle Flavour is tailormade for those who’ve got the bottle to branch out and give bold new flavour combinations a go. We’re also very confident this will appeal to shoppers, having come out on top as the best-performing flavour amongst 18–34 year-olds in our pre-launch testing.”
