Yeah I agree with that. There are no cherry cream fillings out there!

Wow thanks for your help! Thanks for wishing me luck oldspice , you never know u mite see my miXbar bar in a shop sometime in the future im very proud of my idea!! Im going to use as many fillings as i can so there is more variety. Do u think i should have the name of the fillings on each bar or let the buyer find out once they buy it? What kind of shops do u buy your chocolate from? x X x

Is that not a bit risky not to say what the fillings are?Just incase anyone has an allergy or a dislike to one particular flavour. I don't think I would like the surprise of biting into chocolate to find something like a coffee filling.

I buy my chocolate from woolworths and Asda. I like to get a whole load when I am shopping and hope they pass through the cashout without the cashier thinking I am greedy. If I go into a newsagent or a sweet shop to buy choc i tend to only buy 1 or 2 bars and never buy a big bar.

Be careful about putting too many fillings in. Don't forget, someone has to manufacture the bar. This was a problem for Cadbury with their Milk Tray Bar. It was a strong feature of their range for years, but when they came to replace the machinery that made them they ran into difficulties.

I buy my choc from whereever i am when i fancy some, although I have been dieting recently so I have tried to avoid it! Woolworths is best for variety but M&S and Thorntons win hands down for innovation.

Think you need to say what the fillings are. In Australia they have a bar called Snack. It has 6 different fillings. Its hard to describe how they make it but there is a picture on the cube of choc to show whats inside. See if you can find a picture of that. It might help.

I love chocolate but I hate being ripped off. Woolworths and Supermarkets are good for reasonabley priced bars and special offers. Corner shops seems to be dearer.

Good luck x

hey =)

i remember doing my Product Design last year - very similar to graphics, only covers wider areas, but equally as annoying and time consuming. in terms of what makes a good wrapper, bright, clearly recognisable, and words like 'improved' on a corner somewhere will always attract customers.
i was gonna add showing the brand name, but some companies like to 'play down' their brand name, sometimes it works just as well that way

hope that little utterance proved to be of use =)

Hiya!! Its treacle fairy!!

Thanks for all your great ideas! i love them all if any more pop into yor head plz let me know! What colours on wrapers do you like? What fillings would u love 2 c in a mixbar? Do u prefer milk white or dark chocolate? thanks xxx

my GCSE product design brain says milk choc, as its the most popular, my ALevel business studies brain says market a whole range lol. Colours - dark background with light text, high contrast, always works best. my favourite is actually the turkish delight wrapper and also i like the white/silver ones

[treaclefairy14]

Hi thanks for your help can you think of any other unusual flavours to put in a mixbar? Or would any of you prefer the heavenly bar? It has milky chocolate with a flaky filling which whisps of soft cream?Would you buy the mixbar? Any ideas on how I can insure there is a tleast one bar with different flavours in and the public will like the whole bar-they might not like one of the fillings. thank x

HI  I AM DIBATING ON WETHER TO CHANGE MY PROJECT AND INSTEAD CREATE A SELECTION OF CHOCLATES IN A CHOCOLATE BOX SIMILAR TO CELEBRATIONS BUT INSTEAD EITHER USING THE MIXBAR IDEA AND HAVING UNUSUAL FILLING CHOCS OR THE HEAVENLY IDEA WOT DO U THINK? WRITE BAK XX

[smurfboy]

I don't know how realistic you are supposed to be making this, but my feeling is that a company launching a Celebrations style box of assorted chocs would have to contend with the fact that Celebrations and Mini Heroes are already very popular - the firm would be offering nothing particularly new, as well as contending with the fact that those chocs are backed by famous brand names. Mixbar, on the other hand, is unlike anything else available in the UK at the mo, and would have an instant market in the nostalgia junkies who miss Fry's Five Centre and Milk Tray Bars (i.e. me and Paulham!)

[chocolate chick]

And people who were not around back then i.e me!

Similarity in chocolate already on the market is not as important as brand focus.   You need to convince a top maker, i.e Nestle or Cadburys that your invention will fit into their portfolio.  Don't worry about marketing, they are already budgeting for that by millions of pounds a year.

To get good marks in this assignment, you must really believe in it.  Smell the chocolate.

Good luck

Hi thanx for yor help .note:this is only a school graphics gcse project I am not actually inventing a chocolate selection. I need to make the box for some chocs so I am creating a box similar to celebrations but with my own chocolate with different fillings. Should I call these Mix chox or do you have any better ideas?

I know, but you need to think realistically, and that will come out in your work.

Mix Chox doesn't sound good.  How about Chocolate Bonanza!
