Here we recall the end of 10 popular chocolates that have said goodbye in Brazil, evoking nostalgia and memories of sweeter times.
End of 10 Popular Chocolates from Lacta, Nestlé, and Garoto
To start the list that brings the end of 10 popular chocolates, we have Chocolate Mania from Garoto. This was a huge sales and fame success in the 90s; however, its end arrived, being discontinued after years in production.
Next, we have the chocolate cigarette Pan, a brand that unfortunately had its bankruptcy declared, with chocolates shaped like cigarettes for children. It was discontinued in the 90s after an anti-smoking campaign, causing a drop in sales.
Continuing the list of the end of 10 popular chocolates, we have the Turma da Mônica chocolate, a favorite from the 80s and 90s, launched by Nestlé in 1993, which also said goodbye in Brazil. It was a great success among children; however, it eventually went out of production. Additionally, Nossa Turma from Lacta also marked a generation of young people and adults.
However, it is no longer produced, remaining in the memory of Brazilians. The Croquete from Nestlé was also another famous name in the 1980s. Unfortunately, after 30 successful years, it was also discontinued, leaving all the shelves of the markets.
Is Garoto’s Box of Chocolates on the List of the End of 10 Popular Chocolates?
There was also the farewell of the famous and acclaimed Box of bonbons personalities from Garoto. It was a hit in the 90s, featuring characters from Looney Tunes, such as Tweety Bird, Sylvester, Taz, Daffy Duck, ‘Gaguinho’, among others. Another major sales leader on the list that brings the end of 10 popular chocolates was Kri from Nestlé, launched in 1971. Unfortunately, in 1992, the sweet saw its end arrive, after the unification of the brand in Brazil.
Another notable name on the list was the Surprise Chocolate from Nestlé launched in 1983. To everyone’s dismay, it was on the market for only 20 years, bidding farewell to Brazilians in the early 2000s. Finally, on the list of the end of 10 popular chocolates, we have Garoto’s fig bonbon and Nestlé’s Surprise Animals, which were other chocolates that left nostalgia, with their sad end marking many lives significantly.
Thus, many chocolates left thousands of Brazilians feeling lost and desolate with their departure from the markets. With that, only memories of sweets that marked an entire generation of young and adults remain.
How is the Chocolate Market Doing in Brazil?
The size of the Brazilian chocolate market is estimated at US$ 3.38 billion in 2024, and it is expected to reach US$ 4.15 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.22% during the forecast period of 2024-2029. The chocolate market was impacted by low sales volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including supply-side issues related to quality and certification.
Thus, the disruption in the supply chain of raw materials, followed by lockdowns, resulted in a growing number of specialty stores that remained closed for a long time and a reduction in the volume of premium chocolate consumption.
According to data from the Brazilian Chocolate Industry Association, over 75% of the Brazilian population consumes chocolate, and 35% of the Brazilian population prefers chocolate over any food or beverage.
