Food & Entertainment by Benedict Brook 18th May 2021 5:47 AM A big chunk of Australians are shunning newfangled snacks and have instead embraced traditional sweets and lollies, reports the owner of confectionary giant Cadbury. And there's one 80-year-old brand that is now going "gangbusters" as we search for more treats during the pandemic. The State of Snacking Report, produced by US firm Mondelez which is behind Cadbury as well as Oreo biscuits, Toblerone bars and the Natural Confectionary Company lollies, found that nine-in-10 Australians had been snacking more or the same during the pandemic. For all the talk of taking up jogging, it does not appear the virus has encouraged Australians to indulge any less.
