PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Kinder Bueno®, the crispy, creamy, light, and airy chocolate bar is celebrating #NationalSelfieDay on Monday, June 21 by introducing buenobot by Kinder Bueno, a celebrity-inspired Instagram filter to help consumers feel like stars in their daily lives. Developed by Current Studios in partnership with Publicis and filmmaker Cole Walliser, the unique filter was inspired by Walliser’s glamourous videos and his aesthetics for capturing red carpet moments.
The new buenobot by Kinder Bueno Instagram filter allows fans to savor and share the Kinder Bueno experience by snapping gorgeous, slow-motion selfies complete with the ability to zoom in for star treatment.
“I literally jumped at the chance to team up with Kinder Bueno and celebrate National Selfie Day with my favorite chocolate bar,” said filmmaker Cole Walliser. “I can’t wait for people to experience this cool new filter on Instagram. It adds an element of glam to selfies while slowing down to savor every bite.”

About Kinder Bueno®
Kinder® is just one of the confectionery brands owned by Italian company, Ferrero Group. Kinder Bueno is a unique chocolate bar with a taste experience that defies expectations. Beneath a blanket of smooth milk chocolate lies a thin, crispy wafer filled with a creamy hazelnut filling, all topped with a delicate, dark chocolate drizzle. Kinder Bueno is satisfying but not heavy, with a texture that is anything but expected. Launched in 1990 and now available in 60 countries around the world from Brazil to Hong Kong to South Africa, Kinder Bueno originated from a desire to provide consumers with a premium, sophisticated chocolate experience. Its introduction to the U.S. market in 2019 follows the incredibly successful launch of Kinder Joy in 2017.
