A Drinks Aisle and Bakery Crossover
A new digital mockup brings together two very different, but equally familiar, UK brands: Marks & Spencer and Rubicon. One is a high-street fixture for premium groceries and baked goods; the other is a long-established name in tropical soft drinks. This concept proposes a direct fusion of the two.
The format is a clear plastic multipack of four ring doughnuts, the kind typical of the M&S bakery aisle. The packaging is simply co-branded, featuring the standard M&S logo and design cues alongside the classic red Rubicon wordmark, leaving no doubt about the intended flavour.
The Rubicon Mango Glaze
The flavour choice is specific. Not just ‘mango’, but ‘Rubicon Mango’, implying the distinct, sweet profile known from the carton drink. The doughnuts in the image are topped with a uniform, bright orange-yellow glaze that matches the colour of the drink itself. The glaze appears smooth, with no additional sprinkles or toppings.
It’s a straightforward execution of a novel idea. The caption that originally ran with the image kept things simple: “M&S Rubicon Mango doughnuts! That tropical sweetness looks incredible! Would you try these?”
Real Flavour Innovation
A banner across the top of the pack mockup reads “Real Flavour Innovation Editions”. This detail positions the product not as a one-off, but as part of a potential series of brand collaborations. The idea of supermarkets borrowing flavours from other fast-moving consumer goods brands isn’t new, but applying a specific soft drink profile to a fresh bakery item is less common.
It moves beyond generic fruit inspiration and into very specific, branded taste territory, suggesting a whole range of possibilities for future bakery experiments.
