    Too Yumm! chips away at hangovers with world’s first party snack twist

    MUMBAI: Hangovers just got out-snacked. Too Yumm!, India’s self-styled “disruptive snacking brand”, has unveiled what it calls the world’s first anti-hangover chips, a bold innovation that promises to let partygoers munch, dance, and wake up fresh.

    Branded party harder chips, the snack takes inspiration from Livitup, Vaidya’s trusted anti-hangover supplement. Packed into every crunchy masala bite are natural ingredients clinically known for recovery support turmeric, ginger, black pepper, and green tea antioxidants. The idea: you snack through the night while your body gets a head start on tomorrow.

    The launch was led by hindi movie livewire Varun Dhawan, who unveiled the chips in typically high-energy style. A campaign film sees him deliver cheeky twists on blockbuster dialogues while declaring the snack the “game-changer every party needs.”

    “Too Yumm! has always been at the forefront of snacking disruption,” said Too Yumm! CMO Yogesh Tewari  “With Party Harder Chips, we’re bringing a world-first product designed especially for celebrations. Partnering with Livitup meant we could create a snack that doesn’t just taste bold but also genuinely supports a better next day.”

    Currently available on Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart, the party harder chips are being positioned as the ultimate late-night companion whether at weddings, festivals, or house parties.

    For a brand that has built its identity on cheeky innovations, this one takes the cake or rather, the chip. With Varun Dhawan fronting the campaign and India’s youth as the target, Too Yumm! is betting big that the next morning after every party will finally taste as good as the night before.

  • Too Yumm! adds new K-Bomb flavours and signs Ananya Panday as brand face

    Too Yumm! adds new K-Bomb flavours and signs Ananya Panday as brand face

    MUMBAI: What do you get when you mix Korean noodles, rapid-fire banter, and Ananya Panday? A slurpy, spicy, sass-loaded campaign that’s anything but instant. After making a fiery splash in India’s instant noodles scene last year, Too Yumm! K-Bomb is back for a second serving with bold flavours, bolder content, and a brand ambassador who brings both heat and humour. Actor Ananya Panday has joined hands with the snack brand in a bid to stir the pot further and cement K-Bomb’s street cred among Gen Z.

    Known for its punchy Korean-style variants like Hot n Spicy and Tom Yum, K-Bomb now gets a triple upgrade with Kimchi, Korean Chicken, and Sichuan Pepper Corn, a flavour bomb that aims to tantalise a taste-obsessed, trend-tracking youth market. There’s also an OTG (On-The-Go) cup noodles pack for those who want their K-spice with convenience.

    The centrepiece of the campaign is ‘Slurp n Spill’, a rapid-fire podcast hosted by Panday, where noodles are slurped, secrets are spilled, and snack culture takes centre stage. The series combines cheeky questions, celebrity chatter, and slurpy sound effects, making it less brand plug and more bingeable content. As Yogesh Tewari, CMO at Too Yumm!, puts it, “It’s not just about being seen, it’s about being enjoyed.”

    To match the energy of its new host, the rollout went full throttle. Think QR code activations across metros like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Kolkata, leading fans to snackable digital content. Add in Manga-inspired OOH installations and meme-led amplification across social and fan communities, and the campaign feels more like a K-pop comeback than a noodle ad.

    But the real flavour lies in strategy. With Indian consumers growing weary of conventional ads, Too Yumm! is betting big on what it calls entertainment-as-experience. The podcast format, backed by a strong digital-first push and cultural fluency, taps into Gen Z’s craving for authenticity with noodles in hand.

    As Tewari sums up, “K-Bomb isn’t just about filling you up, it’s about firing up your taste buds.” With Ananya Panday in the driver’s seat, it looks like Too Yumm! isn’t just riding the K-wave, it’s steering it.

    On launchingToo Yumm ! Bhoot Chips. What instigated you to associate with Naagin sauce? What kind of specific nuances were kept in mind during the creation of BHOOT chips?

Our partnership with Bigg Boss was the perfect fit for Too Yumm!

  • This exam season, beat exam blues with SNICKERS

    This exam season, beat exam blues with SNICKERS

    MUMBAI: SNICKERS, the nougat, caramel and nuts filled chocolate bar from Mars Wrigley urges students to beat all kinds of exam blues and wishes them the very best, with an innovative twist to the regular bar.

    With the global brand proposition, ‘You are not you when you’re hungry’, the new campaign builds on how hunger makes people act out in unexpected ways, especially when there is additional stress due to exams. The new campaign has been launched with a simple message that, ‘Exams can be stressful, don’t let hunger add to it’. While students across the country are putting in their best efforts to prepare for the upcoming exams, stress and nervousness are likely side effects that are hard to avoid, and this stress coupled with hunger can be a detrimental combination. SNICKERS, famous for its quirky and humorous brand persona, has come to the rescue with SNICKERS Exam Bars, giving an innovative spin to the proposition with “Stress mat lo, Snickers lo”.

    The limited-edition Exam Bars will be available with good luck greetings for the students such as ‘Do Well’, ‘Rock On’, and ‘Shine On’. The brand has also launched a comical film that offers respite to help battle the deadlines and stress of the fast approaching examinations, and a message that while stress and hunger can get to the best of us, one can always grab a SNICKERS.

    Talking about the launch of the SNICKERS Exam Bars and the video, Mars Wrigley, marketing director Yogesh Tewari said, “With the examinations approaching fast, our strategy was to use our signature tongue-in-cheek sense of humor that has become synonymous with SNICKERS to engage with our primary target audience by offering much-needed relief from exam stress. The launch of SNICKERS Exam Bar comes at the back of the insight that exams can be extremely stressful, and that hunger along with stress get manifested through various behaviors. We are reiterating our commitment to our loyal consumers by offering a bar of delicious chocolate with a positive and fun message to lighten up these taxing times.”

    On the campaign, BBDO India chief creative officer Akashneel Dasgupta said, “Every classroom is a microcosm of society. We find all kinds of characters, almost stereotypes. But two things that are common is that they all get stressed during exams and hunger aggravates it. It manifests in their behavior and everyone behaves in a way that’s a typical of them. SNICKERS address their hunger pangs, so that they can give their best. And one can be at their best only when they are themselves and not hungry. SNICKERS have also introduced exam-specific packs in the market which carry wishes like Keep Calm, Shine On, etc. in place of the regular branding.”

    The film features characters that we are all too familiar with – ‘the topper’, who having revised the entire syllabus several times, makes everyone around him nervous with doubts and questions, or ‘the  Gambler’, who seems to have the undoubtable insight into which questions will appear in this year’s question paper. The 2.43-minute  film features many more such humorous characters that one encounters around examination halls. With a comical take on the proposition, ‘Stress Mat Lo, Snickers Lo’, the film offers a much-needed respite to students from the stress that accompanies exam time and guarantees a nostalgic walk down the memory lane for the rest. SNICKERS Exam Bars are available in traditional and modern outlets across the country.

  • Snickers introduces all new almond variant

    Snickers introduces all new almond variant

    MUMBAI: Mars Wrigley Confectionery India today launched a new variant of its much loved chocolate brand SNICKERS®. The all new SNICKERS®  ALMONDS offers a base of nougat and crushed almonds, topped with a layer of diced almond mixed with caramel and enrobed with chocolate.

    Traditionally associated with boosting brain power, Almonds have always been a favourite of every Indian home. SNICKERS® ALMOND builds on this and highlights that hunger leads to forgetfulness which further leads to all kinds of irresponsible behavior. Therefore for every hungry brain SNICKERS® ALMOND is the answer.

    The tagline ‘No Bhook. No Bhoolna’ takes a spin on the brand’s global proposition of ‘Who Are You When You Are Hungry? and urges people to step up and take responsibility in their respective spheres of daily life. 

    The launch of the new variant will be supported by a television, digital & outdoor campaign, each of which will resonate with the idea of ‘You Become Forgetful When You Are Hungry’. The campaign reaches out to the brand’s millennial audiences by addressing everyday situations that are relevant to them. Whether it is reaching out to post on social media when someone is in trouble, or people not owning up to their responsibilities, the new campaign reflects how hunger causes forgetfulness leading to irresponsible and irrational actions and behaviors.

    Talking about the launch of SNICKERS® ALMOND, Mr. Yogesh Tewari, Marketing Director, Mars Wrigley Confectionery, said, “As a brand, SNICKERS® has always built on the proposition of ‘You Are Not You When You Are Hungry’ and this time, we wanted to bring in the angle of responsible behavior with SNICKERS® ALMOND. The campaign focuses on the goodness of almonds for hunger satisfaction and talks about stopping all kinds of irresponsible behavior. The product is a new, delicious twist to an all-time consumer favorite, and we are confident that SNICKERS® ALMOND will be well received by consumers across the country.”

    Two new thirty second TVCs have been introduced as part of the campaign, that will also be amplified digitally through online video bumpers of six seconds each. Each TVC focuses on a real life situation where people have forgotten their basic responsibilities as good citizens, because hunger has taken over their minds.

    The first TVC sees a man in a gym running on a malfunctional treadmill while everyone around him is capturing his plight on their smartphones. ‘When people are hungry, they forget how to behave’ he claims and gives the people standing by a SNICKERS® ALMOND to satiate their hunger, followed by the adage ‘No Bhook. No Bhoolna’.

    The second TVC is set in the context of a TV news show where politicians with differing views are seen throwing shoes at each other, while one of them  hides under the table to save himself. A chaiwallah appears and asks him ‘Are you hungry?’. When the politician replies in the affirmative, the chaiwallah hands him a SNICKERS® ALMOND and parts with the advice ‘No Bhook. No Bhoolna’.

    MUMBAI: Mars Wrigley Confectionery, the company behind Snickers bars, known for its quirky, tongue-in-cheek personality has found a partner in the charming and dynamic cricket icon, MS Dhoni. He is the new brand ambassador.

    Since its launch in India, the filled chocolate bar has established itself as a solution to hunger cravings and has developed a strong base of loyal consumers. As the cricketer gets set to join the Snickers family, fans will get a chance to see a side of him that has so far remained undiscovered, that of a Drama King.

    Conceptualised by creative agency RK SWAMY BBDO, the TVC captures a humorous locker room conversation between captain cool and his team. MS Dhoni is seen in a completely new avatar, dressed as a warrior. Channeling his inner king, in full gusto, he calls upon his teammates to take a pledge to beat the opposing team. This uncharacteristic tirade is finally brought to an end when one of the players reasons that hunger makes even captain cool lose his cool and offers him a bar of Snickers to satiate his hunger.

    The new TVC gives a new spin to MS Dhoni’s otherwise calm personality and successfully reiterates that ‘hunger ache achhon ko badal deta’ and India’s favorite cricketer is no exception!

    Talking about the association, Mars Wrigley Confectionery marketing director Yogesh Tewari says, “We are honoured to have MS Dhoni join the Snickers family and with this association, we are beginning the next chapter of our journey in India and strengthening our relevance amongst Indian consumers.”

    Cricketer MS Dhoni adds, “I am extremely excited to be associated with the brand. It breaks away from the monotony and resonates with the quirk in everybody. It has the capability to curate emotions that redefine one’s personality the best. It has always been one of my favourites not only because of its delicious taste, but also because it is a perfect solution to hunger pangs.”

    The campaign that went live on 5 March on television, will be supported by an extensive 360-degree marketing approach including digital, in-store and OOH.
