I’m working on a series of poster/images for !buyoceanian@quokk.au - A comm for promoting NZ/Aus goods.

While I have a wide range of taste experiences with the Australian made side, I plan on making some for NZ brands as well. Can I please get some of your recommendations and suggestions. Thank you

    For some direct replacements:

    • Coke range/Pepsi range -> Foxton Fizz or Pete’s
    • Hershey’s/other chocolate -> Whittiker’s or for fancier stuff Wellington Chocolate Factory.
    • I don’t know US biscuit (cookie) brands -> Cookie Time (NZ Family Owned and NZ made), there are others NZ made but not sure of others NZ owned
    • Starbucks -> Mojo is Wellington’s starbucks, it’s on every corner. Not sure about ownership though. Ark Coffee is probably my favourite owned and roasted in NZ coffee bean source, but it’s expensive so I only drink it occasionally. Lots of NZ coffee roasters though. There’s also Ikarus which roasts imported coffee but also has NZs (as far as I know) only commercial coffee plantation, so you can drink NZ grown coffee (if in season), and also will make the previous mentioned coffee look cheap.

    I have trouble thinking of things so if you have other US products then I can try to suggest some NZ owned and made alternatives!
