Salty Licorice Crackers

Real Snacks' Salty Licorice Chips Bring the Candy Flavor to Potato Chips

— February 13, 2017 — Lifestyle
Real Snacks, a Finnish snack company that produces options like potato chips and oat-based crackers, has recently released its Salty Licorice chips as part of the company's 'Chipventures' line. Chipventures offers unique and outlandish flavors for potato chips, as the Salty Licorice chips show.

Real Snack's new Chipventure flavor shows the company's commitment to creativity. Firstly, licorice is far from the first flavor profile that one would readily associate with potato chips — in fact, the anise-like flavor is unique and peculiar even within the spectrum of candy. Further, black licorice and salt don't typically go together, with licorice more often getting sweetness added rather than saltiness. However, since salt and potato chips have such a strong connection, adding salt to the Salty Licorice chips makes for an oddly savory combination.
Trend Themes
1. Unusual Flavor Combinations in Snacks - Companies can innovate by combining unexpected flavors in snack products.
2. Creative and Unique Snack Branding - Brands that use unique and creative marketing strategies for their snack offerings can stand out in a crowded market.
3. Innovation in Snack Production Materials - Exploring alternative materials for snack production such as oat-based crackers can lead to healthier and more sustainable snack options.
Industry Implications
1. Snack Food Industry - Innovative snack companies can disrupt the market by offering unique and unexpected flavors that cater to adventurous consumers.
2. Marketing and Advertising Industry - Marketing agencies can work with snack companies to develop distinct branding strategies that differentiate their products from competitors.
3. Agriculture Industry - Developing new, healthier, and more sustainable snack options using alternative crops and production materials can lead to fruitful business opportunities in the agriculture industry.
