Freeze Crunchy Sweets at Spar!

On 1st November, we officially launched our Freeze Crunchy sweets in SPAR stores, and what better way to celebrate than with an exciting sampling session at SPAR Myatts Field on 8th November? It was the perfect opportunity to introduce people to these innovative sweets and show them why everyone’s talking about them!

If you’re not familiar with freeze-dried sweets, let us explain. The process involves freezing the sweets and then using a powerful vacuum to remove all moisture. This creates a light, crispy texture that’s hard to resist. Fun fact: this technology was originally developed by NASA to preserve food and reduce its weight for space travel. Amazing, isn’t it?

We are so proud to say that we are staying ahead of the game by owning a Freeze Drying factory. This gives us the freedom to offer Freeze Crunchy sweets at a much more affordable price compared to other brands.

Now, let’s talk about our Spar sampling event, because it was a success!

At the event, we invited everyone to try our Freeze Dried sweets and provided flyers explaining how the sweets are made. They also had a chance to win a £50 Spar voucher by signing up to our newsletter and get some feedback about our new product. People expressed their love for the sweets, suggesting new flavours and highlighting how affordable they are compared to other brands.

Velayuthapil Kumarathasan, Store Manager at SPAR Cromwell Rd., shared his excitement: “we are very happy to be the first to stock Bebeto Freeze Crunchy sweets; it’s such a great product and so many people bought packs straight after tasting them”.

Hundreds of sweets were given out, and sales went up during the event, proving the buzz around these sweets is real.

The Buzz at Liverpool Street
On the 27th of August, we decided to go out to Liverpool Street in London to host an exciting sampling campaign for our latest launch and we are pleased to say it was a success! Liverpool Street, one of London’s busiest and most iconic locations, was the perfect backdrop for our campaign. With hundreds of commuters, tourists, and locals passing through, we saw a prime opportunity to share the magic of Weenie Worms. Our amazing team was positioned at key points around the station, ready to put smiles on faces with every delicious bite.

Engaging with The Crowd

Our goal was simple: get people to experience the electrifying fizz of Weenie Worms and offer them a chance to win a £150 voucher to use for an experience of their choice. We are happy to say we managed to connect with a lot of people and put the Bebeto brand out to locals and tourists.
