Cadbury set to change 'Fruit & Nut' recipe
What's the story
Cadbury has decided to give a twist to its Fruit and Nut bar after 90 years As a part of the change, Cadbury has decided to add sultanas for the first time to bring in variety to the classic flavour. Along with it, the almonds and raisins will stay too. However, the 'Fruit and Nut' enthusiasts took to Twitter to express their outrage.

New Coke a marketing failure
Coca-Cola was reformulated as New Coke in the spring of 1985. This was done to counter the rising popularity of Pepsi. However, the New Coke was a marketing failure with the American public not being receptive; in fact, it was hostile to the new flavour. This led to the subsequent reintroduction within three months later of original Coke flavour re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic".

Maggi's new flavour fails to impress consumers
In 2008, Maggi introduced the new Beef, Oriental, and Curry flavours in New Zealand. This flavour contained a package of dehydrated vegetables. Maggi claimed that flavour contained "88% less total fat and 86% less saturated fat" than its average competitors. However, it had a 31% increased salt content which became the reason why it failed to impress the consumers who wanted the original back.
