The thrill of surprise

Human beings are inherently curious creatures, and products having mystery flavours appeal to that curiosity. The allure lies in the anticipation, as consumers are left wondering what taste sensation awaits them. It adds an element of surprise, turning a simple act like enjoying a snack or beverage into a captivating experience.

“By keeping consumers in suspense, brands create a sense of intrigue 
and generate excitement around their products.”
