About Prince Polo
Prince Polo is one of Poland's best-selling candies. It is also sold in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, and Ukraine. In these countries, it is sometimes called Siesta. In Iceland, it is known as Prins Póló.
This chocolate bar has been the most sold chocolate bar in Iceland for many decades. For a long time, it was one of the only chocolate bars you could find there.
History of Prince Polo
Prince Polo was first made in 1955. It was created by a company called Olza S.A. in a Polish town called Cieszyn.
The original Prince Polo is a chocolate-covered wafer. It has four layers of wafer. These layers are joined by three layers of chocolate-flavored filling. You could easily spot it by its shiny, metallic gold wrapper.
In 1993, a big company called Kraft Jacobs Suchard bought Olza S.A. Two years later, in 1995, the Prince Polo packaging changed. The bar was no longer wrapped in paper. Instead, it was sealed in plastic.
New Flavors and Sizes
After the packaging change, new types of Prince Polo started to appear. In 1996, the Hazelnut flavor was introduced. Later, other flavors like milk chocolate and coconut were added. There was even a "Premium" version, which was said to be more fancy.
A larger size, called XXL, was also made available. This bigger bar weighs 52 grams.
