The highly anticipated launch introduces a twist to the much-loved Coca-Cola Classic, by carbonating it with a small shot of helium. The new recipe keeps the same fizz and great taste but with added fun as, when consumed, the drinker\u2019s voice takes on a whole new pitch.<\/p>\n<p>The development of Coca-Cola Helium is in response to findings that consumers want to combine their drinking moments with entertainment. The research, conducted by Coca-Cola, found that over three quarters of people surveyed would enjoy drinks that offer surprise experiences other than quenching thirst. Created with sharing fun moments in mind, Coca-Cola Helium is the perfect addition to parties and gatherings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Burger King<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u87a2\u5e55\u5feb\u7167 2017-04-01 \u4e0b\u53485.02.21.png\" src=\"https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/FvkH9clseV_33OA-kh6R0iH5ksar?imageView2\/0\/format\/webp\/q\/75\" width=\"635\" height=\"356\" style=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>The Whopper, Burger King&#8217;s iconic burger, is so generous and tasty that its fans would do anything to make its unique flame grilled beef taste last longer.<\/p>\n<p>For an everlasting pleasure, Burger King created Whopper Toothpaste, the first toothpaste with active Whopper extracts.<\/p>\n<p>Burger King and agency Buzzman teamed up with experts to reproduce the iconic flavor of the Whopper and combine it with active ingredients for optimal teeth and gum hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>Whopper toothpaste is soon available in your restaurants and drugstores, you won\u2019t have to hesitate between enjoying a Whopper and brushing your teeth ever again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Auntie Anne\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"s3-image002_3--default--346.png\" src=\"https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/FnzW2B9aY9JtxYQRBnLirZp-D07i?imageView2\/0\/format\/webp\/q\/75\" width=\"346\" height=\"217\" style=\"\" title=\"\"><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In an effort to expand their audience and show Gen-Z that they are not your mom or auntie\u2019s pretzels, Auntie Anne\u2019s\u00ae, the world\u2019s largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise, today announced that they are officially rebranding with a new logo.<\/p>\n<p>After much consumer research, including brand executives spending time locked in an Escape Room with millennials and Gen-Zers to gain an understanding of their likes, wants and whims, Auntie Annie\u2019s will be replacing the saintly halo on top of its existing logo with a flower crown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to reveal a new look that\u2019s as fresh as our pretzels\u201d said Carol Pasquariello, Vice President of Marketing for Auntie Anne\u2019s. \u201cWe spent nearly two years developing, testing and tweaking our logo.
