A Note from the Development Team
The success of Rummy stems from its commitment to using exclusive special rum raisins, a quality that has made it a standout product since its inception. As the 60th anniversary arrives, the team expresses gratitude towards loyal customers, especially those who call themselves part of the "Rum Raisin Party".
Despite the challenges posed by rising costs, they are dedicated to providing products that bring joy to every customer who enjoys Rummy. Exciting developments and exclusive collaborations marked by this anniversary promise to offer unexpected delights for fans.
The Secret Behind Rummy
Interestingly, when Rummy debuted in 1965, it was originally branded as "Rumy." This innovation is a reflection of the founder's vision to create a chocolate tailored for adults, diverging from the child-focused confections that dominated the market at the time. Rummy quickly garnered interest, even from those who were not regular chocolate consumers, solidifying its timeless appeal.
Rummy’s striking magenta packaging, a unique feature since its launch, stands out as a landmark of its brand identity, maintained for decades.
As the launch date approaches, fans are encouraged to look forward to the delightful experiences these treats promise. Keep an eye out for extra surprises, including exciting collaborations with popular establishments as part of the celebratory festivities!
Celebrate with Rummy and Bacchus this October and indulge in a sophisticated treat that's perfect for the season! Cheers!
