Mars Chocolate Drinks and Treats has today, February 13th 2023, announced the launch of Twix Ice Creams Cones, the first time ever that this popular confectionery brand has been developed into an ice cream cone format.

Across the overall ice cream market, Mars Ice Cream grew by £11.5m in 2022, equating to a 42 per cent share of the total ice cream market growth. Over the last five years, Mars has delivered more than six times the growth of the category average and more than any other manufacturer.

Michelle Frost, General Manager at Mars Chocolate Drinks and Treats says: “The brand familiarity and price point of Mars products have really allowed us to solidify our mid-market position, and for some of our core brands , the appetite for our classic products has still increased by a third. Developing the Twix brand into an ice cream cone format was a natural progression to give fans of the brands an alternative format to enjoy.”

Twix Ice Cream Cones are available as a four-pack-through convenience and wholesale channels from March. RRP £3.50.

Next Gen nicotine: will nicotine pouches replace disposable vapes?

As disposable vapes are set to be banned from June 1, will nicotine pouches become the newest alternative nicotine product for consumers? Here, Markus Lindblad, a nicotine pouch expert from Northerner, explains:

“Over the last number of years, there has been strong growth in the nicotine pouch sector in the UK. A recent study by King’s College London found that pouch use in the UK doubled between 2020 and 2024. It looks like the new legislation on disposable vapes could accelerate this growth. After the ban, some disposable vape users may return to smoking, and some may quit nicotine products, but many will seek alternatives and pouches could be a good option.
