    “Valentine’s Day marks one of the two top gifting seasons in the Philippines. And February has traditionally shown the highest sales for chocolates. Currently we hold the positions for #1 chocolate in Modern Trade with Cadbury Dairy Milk and #1 Gifting brand with Toblerone. This is because chocolates play a crucial role in the lives of Filipinos. We express our love through gifting sweet treats and chocolates are among the top gift choices during the love month,” said Aleli Arcilla, VP and Managing Director, Mondelēz International.

    This love month, Cadbury and Toblerone chocolates are enhanced with love-themed packaging.

    “For Cadbury, we have a limited edition ‘Pop Your Heart Out’ chocolate bars. When you open the chocolate bar, there will be a heart-shaped chocolate in the middle that you can pop out. Another unique way to share your love is through our 3D paper heart that you can give to your dearest one,” said Raf Baradas, Category Lead for Chocolates of Mondelēz International.

    For its Toblerone bar, it comes with a special packaging. “We did a play around its sleeves, wherein one can pull a tab and write heartfelt messages for an even more thoughtful surprise. You don’t need to wrap it anymore. You can already put your message on it,” Baradas added.

    “The design innovation is quite subtle, but it is very romantic and sweet,” Arcilla continued.

    The special, limited-edition Cadbury and Toblerone packs are available at leading supermarkets and while supplies last.

    On February 4, Cadbury will also hold a #PopYour HeartOut Valentine’s 2023 mall activation at Glorietta 2 Activity Center. There will be instagram-worthy displays, live music, and delicious chocolates at the mall event.

  • Get a Delicious Immunity Boost with Tropicana Twister

    There’s something special about oranges that lifts one’s mood. Oranges represent bursts of vitality to brighten one’s day, from the fruit’s vibrant color or its sweet-tart taste.

    Managing one’s exertion amidst significant weather changes contribute to the increased risk of catching the common cold and the flu. Medical professionals recommend making mindful lifestyle updates to boost immunity and prevent illness. Health journals also note the effect of adding oranges to the daily diet, as these fruits are packed with vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps lower the risk of cell damage and enhance the immune system. Oranges are also rich in B vitamins that help convert food to energy and regulate brain functions.

    Well-loved brands like Tropicana Twister makes getting one’s daily dose of vitamins easier. Available through Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the country’s exclusive distributor of PepsiCo beverages, Tropicana Twister is made with real orange juice squeezed from fresh-picked oranges.

    “Tropicana Twister is the ideal of taste and nutrition. Every bottle is packed with vitamins for a healthy immune system. Tropicana Twister helps keep us refreshed and well, especially during the rainy season,” said Frederick Ong, PCPPI president and chief executive officer.

    “Keeping ourselves healthy remains a responsibility we must uphold, especially with more people returning to their offices or attending in-person classes. It has become more crucial to nourish our bodies with vitamins to keep us strong. Adding orange juice to one’s diet is among the easiest ways to do this. With Tropicana Twister, we enjoin everyone to continue having the zest for life,” Ong added. Tropicana Twister is available in stores nationwide.

    PCPPI is the exclusive manufacturer of Tropicana and other well-known beverage brands like Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Sting, Gatorade, Lipton, Aquafina, Premier, and Milkis. For more information about PCPPI and its products, please visit pepsiphilippines.com.
