Matchmakers
Matchmakers is a brand of chocolate sticks currently owned and made by Nestlé. Thin, twig-like and brittle, they were first launched in 1968 by Rowntree's and were one-third of the length they are now - about the length of a match. For many years they were available in either orange, mint, lemon (from the brand's 25th anniversary) or coffee flavour (from its 10th anniversary). In 2003 Nestlé attempted to raise brand awareness by changing the names of the flavours to ''Cool Mint'' and ''Zingy Orange'' and adding ''Brilliant Blackcurrant'' and ''Sizzling Strawberry'' flavour – which counted 'black pepper flavoured sugar pieces' among its ingredients. Similarly, the packaging was altered in an attempt to appeal to 15- to 35-year-olds, and a new slogan was adopted – 'The manic munch that packs a punch'. Brandysnap, Cappuccino, Coconut, Christmas Orange Spice, Nutty, Coffee, Lemon and Irish Cream varieties have been produced – sometimes as anniversary special editions – ...
