The idea
Better-for-me regional snacks. Explicit brand-building opportunity in the Gen X chapter; the slide does not specify a business model or validate demand.
Why this is interesting
- Regional snacking offers a familiar base for premiumisation, but health improvements must remain compatible with taste and household habits.
- The source identifies an opportunity area rather than a validated customer problem. A useful first step is to choose one actor, workflow and measurable failure.

Questions to answer
