Coles stocks Choc Tops for limited time as cinemas shut doors

Until now Aussies would have to go to the movies to get their Choc Top fix. But with cinemas shutting their doors the manufacturer supplying the iconic snack to major chains has struck a deal with Coles.

You may not be able to go to the cinema just yet, but there’s now a way to enjoy the best part of the experience at home.

Bulla Choc Tops will be sold at Coles Supermarkets from today, for a limited time.

The five flavours include vanilla, boysenberry, mint, cookies and cream and salted caramel.

Victorian Coles will only stock mint, vanilla, salted caramel and cookies and cream.

Bulla Dairy Foods changed its Choc Top distribution model when the COVID-19 lockdown forced the closure of cinemas across Australia.

The distribution shift saw Bulla reassign its factory staff to packaging the products to be sold in Coles.

Bulla chief executive Allan Hood said: “The Choc Top is synonymous with cinema outings and as Australia eagerly awaits their return, we are still working closely with our cinema partners to ensure there is plenty of product to supply once they are open again to the public.”

For two months Bulla has been delivering thousands of Choc Tops to health care workers Australia-wide in a show of support for their work during the pandemic.
