Fresh Del Monte’s Post

What better way to honor #nationalpotatoday than to highlight the importance of flavor and potato chip variety! Right now, there is a lot of interest in regionally-inspired and spicy flavors! Did you know that that 56% of Gen Z and 67% of Millennials prefer innovative flavors over traditional flavors and that 43% of consumers usually have more than one type of chip on hand? (Source: Mintel) So, keeping chip products fresh for consumers is a must – especially to protect brand image and product safety. What flavor chips are you eating today?

Elements. Singularly, okay. Like strawberries. Like chocolate. But TOGETHER, elements blend flavors and strengths and colors and textures, to produce something totally unique, preferred, powerful, and transformative! Value those elements, but treasure what they transform to be, when vulnerably and thoughtfully together! #purposedrivenleadership #culturetransformation #changehealthcare #healingtogether

🎃✨Ever wonder how a simple flavor can become a cultural phenomenon?  Look no further than Pumpkin Spice! 20 years ago, Starbucks introduced their Pumpkin Spice Latte, and since then, the fervor for pumpkin products has grown exponentially.  In just a year, pumpkin products amassed a whopping $802.5 million in sales — that's a 42% rise from two years ago! 🚀  But it's not just about the flavor. It's the strategic marketing, the nostalgia, and the seasonal vibes that brands tap into.  As businesses race to be the first to release their pumpkin treats, we see the power of the "first-mover advantage." Yet, it's a balance: launch too early, and the novelty might wear off.  A lesson for all small business owners: with the right marketing, even the simplest ideas can turn iconic. Harness that power!💡🔥 #b2bmarketingstrategy #contentmarketingstrategy #socialmediastrategy #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing

Age influences coffee preferences, especially when comparing the appeal of fermented coffees to traditional dark and medium roasts. This is a standout insight from the #mavencoffeechallenge. Younger age groups, especially those between 25-34 years old, show a strong preference for Coffee D (fermented coffee), with a 40% favorability rate. This preference diminishes significantly in older age groups, with those over 65 years old showing only a 21% preference for Coffee D. In contrast, older consumers show a stronger preference for dark roast Coffee C, with the 55-64 age group leading at 28%. Younger coffee drinkers are more open to exploring new coffee flavors, while older coffee drinkers tend to stick to the classic, richer profiles of dark roasts. If Frank Costanza was here, he'd surely let out a frustrated, "What's the deal with this new coffee? In my day, we didn't need our coffee to be a science experiment. We drank it dark, we drank it strong, and it worked, dammit! Serenity now! #excel #powerbi #dataanalytics #datascience

Beauty (and taste!) are on the inside Why loving ugly fruit and vegetables is good for the environment, the economy and a Zero Hunger world It is often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But when it comes to fruit and vegetables, one third of them never even make it to our grocery store shelves because they are rejected on their way from the farm to the store. While supermarkets have a part to play in this, we must also examine our own consciences. Would we choose the oval-shaped, matte-colored apple or the perfectly rounded shiny one? One of these would definitely make a nicer Instagram photo than the other, but in the end, both would taste equally as good and would satisfy your hunger. https://lnkd.in/fxbv5JF
