Perky Nana
Perky Nana is a popular chocolate bar produced by Cadbury, a British multinational confectionery company. The Perky Nana bar is primarily sold in New Zealand, where it has become a cultural icon and a beloved treat for many Kiwis.
History[edit | edit source]
The Perky Nana was first introduced in the 1950s, making it one of the oldest chocolate bars in New Zealand. The bar was originally produced by J.H. Whittaker & Sons, a New Zealand-based confectionery company, before being acquired by Cadbury in the 1970s.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Perky Nana consists of a chewy banana-flavoured centre, coated in a layer of milk chocolate. The banana centre is made from a type of taffy known as nougat, which gives the bar its distinctive chewy texture. The milk chocolate coating is made from Cadbury's signature recipe, which includes a blend of cocoa, milk, and sugar.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The Perky Nana has become a cultural icon in New Zealand, with many Kiwis growing up with the bar as a staple treat. The bar's distinctive banana flavour and chewy texture have made it a favourite among both children and adults. The Perky Nana is often associated with nostalgia, as it reminds many New Zealanders of their childhood.
