Display cubes
This has nothing to do with the product - it is referring to the point of sales materials for window displays etc - they are probably cardboard cubes advertising the slimming product in question.

slimming toffees
You might want to ask the customer - but I have recently worked on a slimming brochure for a well-known French brand and their 'carrés minceurs' are translated into slimming toffees in English. They are, in fact, appetite suppressants.
I have no idea if this is what they are referring to, but thought it might help you to know...!
Good luck
