About Cosby
Cosby is Kervan Gıda's toy candy brand, selling sweets packaged with small toys, plus chocolate, at shelf prices low enough to be stocked by chain supermarkets and corner shops alike. Kervan's booklet presents it within the story of Uçantay Gıda, a toy candy company the group bought, and says Cosby was the first brand in its sector admitted to Turkey's Turquality branding programme. The company plans to use it to carry dried figs, dried apricots, lokum and akide sugar into the world toy candy market.
