New-Stalgia: Consumer Insights and Flavor Trends: June 25, 2024 at 11AM CST (40 minutes)
Nostalgic flavors are gaining momentum as consumers continue to seek out comforting and familiar foods and beverages. Brands are getting creative with how they deliver nostalgic flavors in a reimagined way, satisfying the child within, while delighting the tastes of today’s adults—enter new-stalgia. From throwback flavors reminiscent of happy memories to vintage product reintroductions and more, Stephany Peña, Associate Marketing Product Manager, will explore top flavors, feelings, and behaviors associated with nostalgia broken down by age and gender in this webinar.

Please note at this time FONA does not accept applications to attend Flavor University classes from employees who work solely with e-cigarette/e-juice products. Knowing that the flavors we sell are not approved for use in these products, we do not feel it’s appropriate to educate you on their use without creating a possible conflict of interest..
