Heinz Trade-Up in Dubai| From sachet clutter to ketchup upgrade

18-4-2025

---

---

Heinz Trade-Up in Dubai is tackling a common household dilemma: the overflowing kitchen drawer filled with unused ketchup sachets. A recent survey by Heinz revealed that 70% of UAE residents have unwanted ketchup sachets at home, with nearly half admitting to having 5–10 sachets scattered around. Over half of the respondents described this as frustrating, and 60% said they’d be more likely to use the sachets if they were Heinz.

We think a decluttering of ketchup sachets – or any other sachet – might work here in Europe as well! 😉 It’s a fun variation on the Heinz Pickle Switch that stood in Rotterdam.

Beet Great | Natural Energy Soda

23-1-2025

---

---

Beet Great is a natural energy drink made from red beetroot juice and pomegranate juice. Red beetroot provides more energy. Many (top) athletes have known this for years and drink beetroot juice to improve their performance. Research has shown that beetroot causes your muscles to acidify less quickly during exercise and that your body also recovers faster after exercise. Only benefits you would think, but even avid athletes often drink it with their noses turned up because they don’t like the flavour of red beetroot juice. Beet Great changes that! As they say: 100% delicious, the energy comes from the beetroot, vegan, gluten-free and no caffeine added.

The croissant craze | This is what 2024 brought us

16-12-2024

---

---

We discussed which products show up the most on social media, in all kind of shapes, flavours and colours, this year. The first product that popped up is the croissant. We think the croissant hype began with the Cronut by Dominique Ansel, back in 2013. Since this croissant-donut combination, we have seen endless variations. Last January we wrote an article with the question what 2024 was going to bring us? Well the year 2023 ended with a broissant and 2024 started with a brioche croissant loaf, which is kind of the same! We spotted the broissant in a pop-up in the Landmark hotel in December and the brioche croissant loaf in Amsterdam early January. Later this year we spotted, croissant cereals, potato croissants, the Onioissant, BallSsants, the Croicheese, the Cröner, a Cherry Crioche, Croissant Cones. And it ended with tasting the elongated croissant by François Perret at the Ritz Paris Le Comptoir.
