The operational release strategy behind this snack caught several industry watchers off guard. Instead of competing inside the crowded frozen novelty ice cream aisle alongside ice cream sandwiches and popsicles, Mars Inc. chose to position the product directly inside the Walmart bakery freezer bunker. This subtle merchandising choice places the treat right in front of shoppers browsing artisan pies, frozen layer cakes, and thaw-and-serve pastries.
