The new chocolate bars come in four different flavours and will be sold by retailers in the US and Europe.
A few of you might not know that Maria Sharapova, the world's richest female athlete with a net worth of $29.5 million, runs a booming candy business as well. Her candy brand, Sugarpova (established in 2012) combining Sharapova and her love for all things sweet, is popular among candy-lovers on both sides of the Atlantic. Now the Russian tennis star's brand has launched a new line of chocolate bars.
Sharapova and her team have been posting photos and videos on social media to promote the chocolate bars, and it is quite evident that she was actively involved at every stage of creating the new line. The photos indicate that she even indulged in a bar of chocolate before making her sizzling appearance at the Met Gala in New York earlier this month
According to a CNN report, Sugarpova's chocolate bars come in four different flavours--Milk, Dark, Milk with Strawberry and Dark with Toasted Coconuts--and will be sold by retailers in the US and Europe at the end of this month. The bars will be priced between $4.99 and $5.99. While the launch is being criticised for its bad timing (Sharapova was provisionally banned from playing in March 2016, and global concerns about obesity, especially in North America, make the new line controversial), it's doubtful that the chocolate bars won't do well in the market.
It's a bit disappointing to find that Sharapova fans in India won't be able to have these chocolates (unless they get their NRI friends and family to send some from abroad). We hope Sugarpova starts retailing in India soon so that we can bite into one of these delicious chocolate bars
