Transcript excerpt

Hi, I'm Catherine, Director of Product Development at M and S Food, and I'm here today with Francesca from our brilliant trends team. And a lot of people have asked, how do we track trends and how do we come up with new and innovative ideas? So it all starts with the trend book. Yeah. And what we looked at for summertime six was a number of trends, but two key ones that we'll talk about today are kid opting and nostalgia. And we've picked a couple of products that, have just recently launched that we can talk about and Okay. Okay. So let's make some ice cream. Okay, Francesco. What do you have on yours? I'm gonna have some of our s'mores sauce. So chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, biscuit bits. Wow. Yum. Look at that. What are you gonna have? When I grew up, which was a little bit before, when he hot water just before you sell it because it's got to go all runny. But the idea being that you squeeze it on top of freezing cold ice cream and it actually rank, keeps it all going solid. No it's, like, stopped it in its drippy magic. And then when you bite through it, it's solid chocolate. I've got a cup of cream as well. Cheers.
