Kit Kat and Fruit Pastilles voted UK’s favourite treats

Kit Kat chocolate bar and Fruit Pastilles are the nation’s favourite Rowntree’s treats according to a survey done recently by UK visitor attraction, York’s Chocolate Story.

The survey which was carried out to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of Rowntree’s in York sought to find which of the brands products still tickled people’s tastebuds today. The survey found that 56% of people said Fruit Pastilles were their favourite Rowntree’s sweet and 28% of people said that Kit Kat’s are their favourite chocolate bar. 14.8% cited Aero as their favourite.

The poll also asked what sweets and chocolates originally created by Rowntree’s they thought would be around in 150 years time. 52% of people said that they thought Kit Kat would still be around with only 24% saying that Smarties would still be produced and 45% said that Polos would still be available in 150 years’ time.

Michael Constantine, general manager of York’s Chocolate Story says,“The Rowntree family made such an impact on the lives of so many people in York and we are pleased to be able to tell the story of this celebrated family and of the role that the chocolate industry played in York at York’s Chocolate Story. It therefore comes as no surprise that Kit Kat and Fruit Pastilles are the nation’s favourite.”
