Australian freezers are about to get a little stranger, with Peters Ice Cream brand, Maxibon, launching the limited-edition Upside Down Bon, in collaboration with Netflix’s global smash hit, Stranger Things.

Just in time for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, the latest Maxibon creation is flipping the script – featuring a white chocolate flavoured slab loaded with cookie crumbs, sandwiched between two choco biscuits on one end, and dipped in red choc with cookie crumbs on the other.

Peters head of marketing, Andrea Hamori, said the Maxibon brand has always embraced bold ideas and unconventional thinking, and the collaboration with Netflix’s Stranger Things is no exception.

“The Upside Down Bon is our largest launch to date, bringing together two cult favourites in a way that’s uniquely Maxibon. We’re excited to deliver an exclusive experience for Aussie fans that blurs the line between food and fandom,” said Hamori.

The Maxibon Upside Down Bon is available for a limited-time only in four-packs at Coles, Woolworths, and independent grocery stores for RRP $11.50, and in single packs at petrol and convenience stores for $5.60.

Packaging News

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.

A cross-sector open letter is urging national leaders to agree on a pathway for regulated producer responsibility schemes at the September Environment Ministers Meeting.
