KP Snacks debuts new look for Pom-Bear, launches new flavours

KP Snacks' iconic bear-shaped snack, Pom-Bear, is back with two new flavours- Cheese and BBQ. Hitting shelves in August, the new flavours are non-HFSS and will debut in Pom-Bear’s new modern packaging, supported by a brand new TV, radio and social campaign.

Back on TV for the first time since 2018, the new advert launches on 9 September and showcases a playful and charming interaction between father and daughter as they share a bag of Pom-Bear. The creative narrative uses Pom-Bear as a reminder to parents to tap into their inner child and connect with their kids in spontaneous playful moments.


The campaign's tagline, "Put a little Pom in your Day" is designed to resonate with consumers and highlight the brand's playful spirit, while driving awareness of the classic crisp brand and its new range.

Emma Smith, Pom-Bear Marketing Manager says. “At Pom-Bear we’re passionate about bringing joy and fun to lunchboxes with our adorable potato bears. That’s why we’re so excited not only to be launching our brand new above the line campaign but also our two new flavours, adding variety and excitement to lunchboxes and family snacking occasions.”

Both new flavours, BBQ and Cheese, will be available in multipack formats, with the Cheese also available in single packs. They join the already popular Original flavour in multipack format, with Pom-Bear now having products in the top three flavours across the family multipack segment. The perfect addition to any lunchbox, late summer picnic or mid-afternoon snack, these tasty new flavours are non-HFSS, vegan, gluten free and contain no artificial colours or flavourings.

Multipack is the second largest segment in the CSN category, worth £1.4 billion and growing at +5.5%. Pom-Bear is worth £32.7m and growing at +8.1% and is one of KP Snacks’ most popular family snacking brands.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
