From chicken to condoms, marketers cash in on royal wedding
If British marketers are to be believed, nothing is a better royal wedding tribute than a limited-edition bucket of fried chicken chased with a bottle or two of Royal Wedding pale ale.
Estimates are that consumers will spend between 40 million pounds to 70 million pounds ($54 million to $94 million) on royal wedding-related merchandise, including commemorative mugs, plates, coins and posters.
If you’re tucking in to watch the wedding from home but want to feel “part of” it you can enjoy a bowl of “Wedding Rings” cereal, featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the box and sold online for only 35 pounds ($47). It promises to be “royally good.”
There’s also “Harry” and “Meghan” Marmite, if you can choke that down.
