Help!
« on: June 02, 2005, 08:50:37 pm »
I'm just doing a project-type thing and want to know from you, the forum members:


     
  • If you could make any new chocolate bar, what would be in it? (Be as detailed as you like!)

     

  •  
  • What would you call it?


Thanks very much in advance for the responses!

You know, a hell of a lot of people come on with this line.


How many of you "project-workers" are employed by manufacturers?

I hope some of these project workers are doing market research - I don't mind doing it for free if I get to eat the results!

If i believed that anything would come of someone in the industry actually listening to us I might be tempted to reply.


First, why don't you answer a question Mr Gilbert - who is your client and what are the chances of us getting what we ask for??

Er...right, well, this wasn't the response I expected.



I'm currently doing my GCSE in Business Studies - this is coursework. I
have about 7,000 words under my belt and to finish it off I need to
come up with some ideas for name and a product.



My idea for the product is either a Crunchie bar but with a different
type of chocolate (maybe dark or orange or even white?) and call it
Crunchie Twist, but I don't know if this will work or not.



I should have expected this question has been asked many times before
and anticipated the response, but this is due in in a few days time and
I want to get it finished as soon as I can! :D



Apologies for not explaining myself fully.

Raisins, biscuit pieces, coconut, cherries, milk chocolate and plain chocolate, caramel, mallow and rice crispies.


I'd call it "You Fat B*stard, you!"

I'd go for something very different to what's around now - something fruity instead of caramel and nuts?

Whoops! Sorry Mr Gilbert. yes, you're right, we have been asked this many times before by business studies students. i think it's about time they changed the curriculum!!


The Crunchie with dark/orange chocolate has been done before. White chocolate would not go with the honeycomb. Crunchie is perfect as it is. What I think would work would be a bar filled with malt honeycomb like Maltesers.


Another idea is to combine chewy marshmallow with turkish delight and cover it in rich dark or milk chocolate. I would call this a Valentines Bar.


At all costs avoid the ubiquitous biscuit/toffee.nougat combinations. be original but sensible. Go for the luxury end of the market. Combine ginger and fondant cream with an oriental name? Or raisins and ginger. What about rum-soaked raisins in cherry fondant with an exotic name - exotica? Does that sound too porno?

I'd like something nutty covered in marzipan.

I would like some orange flavoured milk chocolate, but the British public just isn't ready for such a radical, far out idea.
