Bing 1067 Wooden Character Skittles, Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Play, Includes 6 Skittles and 1 Bowling Ball, Ages 3+ Years

Product Information

The popular kids’ property and pre-school series, Bing is continuing to expand its UK licensing programme, building on the success the IP has seen across the toys and wider consumer product space to date. These Bing character wooden skittles are bright and colourful and can be used for both indoor and outdoor play All of these brands (Bud Light is a more complicated case) are still leaning into inclusion and the support of the LGBTQ+ community specifically.

Last year, demand for Bing products enjoyed an 11 per cent year on year increase, while this year, Acamar Films – the London-based studio behind the IP – has welcomed strategic new categories to the portfolio, dialing the UK licensing programme up to 25 licensees in total. Louise Simmonds, head of UK licensing and merchandising at Acamar Films, said: “It is wonderful to see steady growth across our consumer product programme for 2021 and the support from our partners during such tough times.Building on Bing’s 2020 success, Acamar Films are delighted to be expanding their UK licensing programme as appetite for Bing, the multi-award-winning hit pre-school show, continues to grow. Last year demand for Bing consumer products enjoyed an 11% year-on-year increase (Kidz Global, 0-6 years, Oct 2020 vs Oct 2019).

As a result, this year’s call for boycotts don’t change their support for the LGBTQ+ community. They aren’t abandoning the friends they’ve made and what they stand for because some consumers don’t like it.Both Target and Bud Light have had campaigns celebrating Pride month, partnering with organizations supporting LGBTQ+ causes, and even incorporating the community in their marketing for more than 10 years. Effective inclusive marketing is more than just about the marketing. While including more customers because you’ll make more sales may be a starting point for some brands with inclusive marketing, that mindset isn’t sustainable. Consumers, particularly those from marginalized communities can sniff out when brands are not genuine. Belonging can’t be faked over the long-term. A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles,” the authority said. “After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body.”

Mars is in the news today with the candy company facing a Skittles lawsuit and it has some consumers wondering if the sweet treat will be banned in the U.S.

But like Skittles, the brands that have been facing the ire of consumer groups for their inclusive marketing campaigns and advocacy this year specifically, are not new to inclusion on the whole, or their support of the LGBTQ+ community. Aykroyds and TDP continue to build their business year-on-year and Smiffys have introduced an additional girls’ dress up line to their range withSula,whichlaunchedexclusively with Tu at Argos/Sainsburys ahead of World Book Day 2021. Yes, these brands are businesses, and for-profit companies need to make money. But if their support was just about getting certain customer groups to buy their stuff, then a drop in sales would warrant a reevaluation of strategy and specific customer groups they are targeting. In publishing terms, Bing continues to perform well for HarperCollins, who witnessed a 62 per cent year on year net sales growth in 2020 and has nine new titles scheduled for release this year. Sports Illustrated has featured three transgender swimsuit models in their swimsuit edition over the past five years, and Adidas has also shown it’s support for the community for a number of years as well.

We are excited to see the growth of Bing across our girlswear, boys and unisex lines,” said Hannah Miles, joint managing director at Fashion UK. “The trend guide collections bring fresh opportunities to tailor creative to each retailer and offer gorgeous designs to our consumers and their Bingsters.” The skittles themselves are beautifully designed into some of the favourite characters from the show So then where does this Skittles candy lawsuit come from? The lawsuit was filed by San Leandro resident Jenile Thames who is seeking class-action status. The consumer is suing the company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Thames contends that Mars still sells candy in the US that contains titanium dioxide as an additive and is “failing to inform consumers of the implications of consuming the toxin”. (Ingredients lists vary, some saying they might or might not contain titanium dioxide.) Aykroyds and TDP continue to build their business year-on-year and Smiffys has introduced an additional girls’ dress up line to their range with Sula, which launched exclusively with Tu at Argos/Sainsburys ahead of World Book Day 2021.The Volvo Group of Sweden supplies equipment used to bulldoze Palestinian homes. They hold a 27% stake in Merkavim, whose buses are used to transport Palestinian prisoners to and from Israeli jails as well. Ben & Jerry’s has conducted business in Israel with a licensee partner since 1987. Its ice cream is sold by Shufersal supermarkets in Israeli settlements, which was listed by the UN as one of 112 companies profiting from Israel’s illegal activity and human rights violations.
