Mars Wrigley launches M&M’S Pretzel in Australia According to the brand, the new product is soft, juicy, and stretchy, like the original Snakes Alive lolly, but surprises taste buds with a “sensational sour twist”. Allen’s Sourz Snakes Alive (RRP $2.95) feature the “much-loved” Snakes Alive flavours of Zesty Lemon, Luscious Strawberry, Juicy Blackberry, Tasty Pineapple and Sweet Apricot. Washable and reusable Australian made face masks My Medical Supply releases an innovative product in response to the current demand for face masks. All masks include a soft 100 per cent cotton inner layer. The Premium mask (RRP $24.99) comes in seven layers with a five-layer filter. The Aussie (RRP $18.99) and the Tradie (RRP $19.99) come in five layers with a three- layer filter. The range of Australian made reusable washable masks come in “eye-catching” packaging and include free display stands. Protective face masks for children Developed to help protect children’s health, Protech Kids Face Masks are released with the offer of a smaller size for smaller faces, ensuring a “comfortable and protective fit”. Said to be lightweight, hypoallergenic, and breathable, Protech single- use masks have three layers to effectively reduce the risk of spreading germs, Chemcorp International Marketing Manager Erica Galea says. “Perfect for use whilst on public transport or in crowded places,” she said. Protech Kids Face Mask 10 Pack is available with a RRP of $8.99. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Mars Wrigley Australia’s investment of more than $300,000 to bring new technologies to its chocolate factory in Ballarat, Victoria enables the company to produce M&M’S Pretzel locally, bringing the “salty and sweet treat” to Australia for the first time. “We’re thrilled to be introducing a new variant into our bite-size portfolio with our locally produced M&M’S Pretzel for chocolate lovers in Australia to enjoy,” Mars Wrigley Australia General Manager Andrew Leakey said. Additionally, the company says, the latest investment expands the capability for the Ballarat factory to create filled M&M’S and explore more Australian-made innovations for the brand. SEPTEMBER- OCTOBER A ‘sensational sour twist’ on an Allen’s classic Allen’s turns its “iconic” Snakes Alive lollies sour with the launch of Allen’s Sourz Snakes Alive. “Snakes Alive are a long-time favourite with lolly fans,” Nestlé Head of Marketing Confectionery Joyce Tan said, “so we’ve combined this with the power of sour to blow Aussies away with these tasty new lollies.” NOV/DEC, 2020 CONVENIENCE WORLD 17
