A Supermarket and Squash Crossover
Brand crossovers are a constant feature of the UK snack landscape, but they usually happen within the same category. Confectionery meets biscuit, or crisps take on the flavour of a table sauce. This concept, however, bridges two very different supermarket aisles: the in-store bakery and the soft drinks section.
The mockup proposes a four-pack of classic jam doughnuts under the M&S Bakery branding. The packaging is the standard clear plastic bag familiar from supermarket shelves. The point of difference is the filling. Instead of a generic raspberry or strawberry jam, the concept specifies a jam made with the flavour of Ribena.
The Jam & Cream Filling
The Ribena brand brings a very specific flavour profile. It’s a name built on a particular blackcurrant concentrate taste that is distinct from a standard fruit jam. The idea here is to inject that familiar cordial flavour directly into the centre of a doughnut, alongside a traditional cream component.
This isn’t just a blackcurrant doughnut. It’s a *Ribena* doughnut. That distinction is the entire premise of the product, leveraging decades of brand recognition for the drink. The pairing with cream suggests a classic doughnut format, using the drink’s flavour as the core fruity element rather than reinventing the entire product.
In-Store Bakery Format
Presenting this as an M&S Bakery item is a key choice. It frames the product not as a high-end, single-purchase patisserie item, but as an everyday multipack treat. This format is about convenience and familiarity. It’s the kind of thing you’d pick up with a weekly shop.
The clear bag and simple branding are consistent with existing M&S Bakery lines. It suggests a product that would sit alongside their existing range of doughnuts, yum yums, and vanilla slices, using the Ribena co-branding as the sole point of interest on the pack.
