A Famous Drinks Crossover
The Cadbury and Vimto brands share more than just a distinctive purple in their packaging. Both are historic Manchester creations, with Cadbury opening its first city-centre shop in 1824 and Vimto being formulated in 1908. This mockup for Vimto-flavoured Dairy Milk Buttons brings the two together in a single share pouch.
The design uses the current branding for Cadbury Buttons, a line which has existed since 1960. While Cadbury has produced numerous fruit-and-chocolate combinations in its bar formats, particularly in the Dairy Milk Inventor range, the Buttons line has remained focused on pure chocolate variants. A fruit-flavoured button would be a significant departure for the format.
The Extended Cadbury Range
The Cadbury brand name extends far beyond the confectionery aisle. Under licensing agreements with other manufacturers, the logo appears on a huge variety of cakes, biscuits, and frozen desserts that have little in common with a standard chocolate bar. This is a sprawling and often confusing portfolio.
The current licensed range covers everything from baked goods like the *Cadbury Fudge Cake Bars* and *Cadbury Caramel Cake Bars* to chilled desserts like the *Cadbury Pots of Joy*. In the freezer aisle, the branding is used for multiple ice creams, including *Cadbury Boost Ice Cream*, *Cadbury Flake Ice Cream*, and the classic *Cadbury 99 Flake Cones*. These products are made by companies like Premier Foods and Froneri, who use the Cadbury name and flavour profiles to create entirely separate product lines.
Core Confectionery
A Vimto crossover would bring this type of brand partnership back into Cadbury’s own territory: simple, bagged confectionery. It’s a different strategy from using the name to sell an ice cream or a shortcake slice. This concept imagines a flavour collaboration on a core product, rather than a licensed spin-off.
The caption that accompanied the image read, “Vimto Dairy Milk Buttons! The ultimate flavour combo. Who needs a bag?” This follows a common format for imagined product crossovers, which often pair a popular chocolate brand with a well-known soft drink or biscuit.
What the real range looks like
While this concept is for confectionery, the real Cadbury brand extends into many other categories. The current UK licensed range includes baked goods like Cadbury Fudge Cake Bars and Cadbury Caramel Cake Bars, as well as frozen products like Cadbury Boost Ice Cream and Cadbury 99 Flake Cones.
