With a name like ROCKIT™, you know this apple is out of this world. To keep consumers’ best eating interests at heart, Chelan Fresh is blasting its sweet, crunchy, and blush-colored star into a larger packaging size option. Available now in the new 3 lb Shuttle Pack, Chelan Fresh is ensuring shoppers get the most bang for their buck with this new packaging appropriately nicknamed The Millennial Moms’ Cookie Jar. Chelan Fresh is also encouraging retailers to take ROCKIT apples on an adventure outside of the produce aisle and into the fresh grab-and-go aisles as well. No matter where it sits, Chelan Fresh’s ROCKIT Apples Shuttle Pack is sure to fly off shelves.
My favorite kind of grab-and-go item is a fruit or vegetable that is its own container. With the tagline, “cut, scoop, enjoy!”, Zespri’s SunGold™ Kiwifruit is not only giving me the sweet tropical realness I start to crave when summer hits, but also the convenience of enjoying golden kiwifruit, which has less seeds than traditional varietals, anytime, anywhere. Available in 1 and 2 lb clamshells, the bright gold packaging is a beacon in the grocery store, drawing all shoppers to the produce aisle.

And with a Flav-O Meter and a Crisp-O Meter, Double Diamond is engaging shoppers’ taste and texture wants and needs and creating a product that is truly adorable and unique.
