As sales grow, Pepsi Beverages denies split from Frito Lay

2/28/2014

 
Indra Nooyi
Whatever Pepsi Beverages and Frito-Lay accomplish from here on out, they'll do it together. That was the unequivocal message of PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi in the company's fourth-quarter earnings report. 
She acknowledged pressure from activist investor Nelson Peltz for the company to spin off the dwindling soft-drink business from the robust snack business; Peltz also has said he'd like to see Frito-Lay combine with Mondelez but recently dropped that idea after getting a seat on Mondelez's board. 
Nooyi said that she even had external consultants and bankers look at the possibility of dividing beverages from snacks. But she said that the company would remain integrated after all in part as a matter of scale. "Decoupling our beverage and snaCk businesses in North America would significantly reduce our relevance to our customers," Nooyi said, according to Reuters.
"Within most of our largest grocery-channel customers, we [would] fall from being the top supplier to a top four or below supplier, and the mass merchant drug channels, we would drop below the top 10."

Designer Anya Hindmarch launches £995 Crisps packet inspired handbag

2/28/2014

 
Picture
It’s no secret that in the fashion industry, crisps just aren’t de rigueur. Never have been. Despite being one of the most tempting inventions to date, you just never see a fashion editor or model munching on a pack of prawn cocktail backstage. Haribo sweets? Yes. They’re colourful and cute. But crisps? Non.
So it is no small miracle that Anya Hindmarch has created this season’s most-wanted bag out of an old packet of Walker’s salt and vinegar crisps. Fashion editors have been lining up to shoot the Crisp Packet clutch, many of them “accidentally on purpose” keeping hold of it to wear to industry events, such is the cache of this bag.
The waiting list ahead of the first delivery was so long that by the time the clutch arrived, it sold out in three hours. Stock was replenished but several colours still remain sold out. The next drop, expected mid-March, already has a waiting list.

Cape Cod Waffle Cut Buffalo Cheddar
Snyder's of Hanover is responding to the growing popularity of sweet and salty flavor combinations, by introducing Korn Krunchers, a new line of bite-sized corn snacks which will be available in three flavors baked and seasoned to deliver big taste and a light, crispy texture. 
Korn Krunchers is designed to appeal to a broader range of consumers than traditional pretzels. The brand also has expanded its line of gluten-free pretzels to include new options: Honey Mustard & Onion and Hot Buffalo Wing. The gluten-free pretzels are dairy-free, casein-free and egg-free.
Launches will be supported by an integrated advertising campaign, including TV and digital that feature Snyder's "flavor scientists" working their magic at the Snyder's flavor kitchen, as well as sponsorship of "Mike and Mike" on ESPN radio. 
"Our newest product innovations and increased marketing support demonstrate Snyder's-Lance's commitment to meeting the snacking needs of consumers from bold flavor experiences to better-for-you snack options," said Rodrigo Troni, chief marketing officer for Snyder's-Lance. "We are very proud of our expanded line-up for brands as we continue to reinvent consumers' snacking experiences at the forefront of consumer taste and wellness trends."
