When it comes to product rotation and customer loyalty, nothing beats the power of family-driven shopping. And if there’s one segment that consistently influences what ends up in the cart, it’s the kids. For Latin American families, snacks and treats with nostalgic value and kid-approved flavor are must-haves—week after week.
At Fedenico, we understand this. That’s why we’ve built a portfolio that’s not only rich in culture, but strong in sales potential. Today, we’re highlighting products that fly off the shelves because they do exactly what they’re supposed to: delight children and bring peace to shopping parents.
Whether you’re a supermarket, convenience store, or distributor looking to build your kid-friendly selection, these are the essentials.
Su Sabor Snacks: Crunchy, Salty, and Always in Demand
When it comes to Latin snacks, Su Sabor hits all the right notes—familiar textures, bold flavors, and the comfort of home.
Top-performing options that kids love:
- Achiras – a cheesy, crunchy baked snack rooted in Colombian tradition
- Rosquillas & Besitos – light and sweet treats that feel homemade
- Papas de Limón / Papas de Pollo – salty, punchy chips that balance flavor and crunch
- Plátano Chips (Green, Ripe & Lime-flavored) – healthier alternatives with that satisfying crisp
- Pandeyuca & Mixtos – chewy, cheesy, and delicious
These snacks aren’t just popular with kids—they’re often chosen by adults who grew up with them and want to pass that taste along.
Retail tip: Create bundle displays with mixed snack packs and offer “school lunch favorites” sections to increase basket size.
Colombina: Candy That Sells Itself
In the world of Latin American candy, Colombina is a name every family recognizes. Known for combining fun with flavor, Colombina products have been childhood staples for generations.
Kid-favorite must-have:
- Bombombun (Strawberry and Assorted) – the iconic lollipop with gum inside that keeps kids happy and coming back for more.
Retail tip: Great for checkout counters, candy aisles, and snack bundles.
Nestlé Deditos: Soft, Sweet, and Unforgettable
Rounding out the perfect kid-friendly offering: Deditos by Nestlé. These finger-sized wafer treats are a classic lunchbox item, snack-time favorite, and after-dinner sweet.
- Easy to eat
- Shelf-stable
- Strong brand recognition
These treats perform well in both supermarkets and foodservice environments, and they’re perfect for school vending machines, grab-and-go fridges, or checkout points.
Yupi: Salty Snacks with a Twist of Fun
Yupi has carved out its space as one of the most playful snack brands in the Latin market. Bright packaging, fun shapes, and bold flavors make their products irresistible to children (and nostalgic adults).
Top-selling favorites:
- Tozinetas Fred – bacon-shaped, puffy corn snacks that are as fun as they are flavorful
- Yupi Salados – lightly salted corn snacks with unbeatable crunch
Placement tip: Feature them near other kids’ snacks or school lunch sections.
These candies and chips aren’t just great for individual sale—they’re perfect for end caps, checkout counters, and variety displays.
Retail tip: Stock these near school supplies or near cold drinks for impulse buys.
Pony Malta: Energy, Tradition, and That Unique Flavor
No kid’s snack section is complete without Pony Malta. This sweet, malty soda is a classic among Latin American households and has a huge emotional pull for parents and kids alike.
- Sold in convenient cans
- Non-alcoholic, with vitamins and energy-boosting properties
- A refreshing alternative to soda with a nostalgic edge
Parents love that it feels “healthier” than soft drinks, and kids love the taste.
Placement tip: Stock Pony Malta with snacks, or offer bundle deals with cookies, achiras, or school treats.
Why Focus on Kids’ Favorites?
Because kids are some of the most powerful influencers in retail.
Products like Su Sabor snacks, Pony Malta, Yupi chips, and Colombina lollipops bring together three things every store wants:
- Fast rotation
- High customer return rate
- Low marketing effort—brand nostalgia does the work
These products move because they’re tied to culture, routine, and joy. They’re also great for bundling, promotions, and end-of-aisle displays.
