Show Notes
The end of an era for one of our most iconic sweets.
Levin confectioner RJ's has discontinued production of Jaffas, due to poor sales.
The orange-coated balls of chocolate were previously produced by Cadbury in Dunedin and have been on our shelves for almost a century.
Mike Hutcheson, former Managing Director of Saatchi & Saatchi, told Mike Hosking that a competitor would pick up Jaffas in a heartbeat.
He says it’s not just a sweet, it’s a symbol, and it’s possible to turn it around and make Jaffas a brand that means something.
