Playing on consumers’ memories and emotional connections to nostalgic flavors and products can spell success for food manufacturers, according to a new report from FONA International.

Trying products with unexpected flavors offers a moment of wonder, and the act of actually discovering it adds to the anticipation.

The colorful candy hearts are back on shelves after a yearlong hiatus, though in limited quantities. News reports also indicate they have fewer messages and a slightly different taste.

It looks like the UK is going to leave CBD products on the shelf — for now. The Cannabis Trade Association is hoping to keep it that way.

FONA International recently released a new report about this up-and-coming generation, "Consumer Insight: Gen Z." The report describes them as “perfectionistic, driven and globally connected.”

Fruity and floral food and beverage products continue to pop up on the market. There’s a reason for that, according to FONA International.
