Blow up the balloon in the new Ballooncar and watch the racing car go |
In addition, the Ballooncar contains a balloon which, when blown up, sends the racing car on its way, in addition to two lollipops.
A souvenir gift tin is also to be launched next year with various travel-related images, containing 16 different flavoured lollipops. It is designed to be a memento or gift.
Sugar-free Mentos chewing gum
Perfetti van Melle believes there is “massive potential” for chewing gum in travel retail and 2012 sees a fresh focus on this area with new five- and ten-stick packs and an innovative three-layer gum two-pack in fresh mint along with fruity fresh flavour combination strawberry, green apple and raspberry.
Mentos chewing gum is ideal for sales at the cash till point, according to the firm.
