What Were Tangy Fruits?
Tangy Fruits were little, colorful candies. They had a sweet and tangy fruit flavor. People often bought them in small containers called pottles. Each pottle usually held about 160 grams of these tasty candies.
Perfect for the Movies
The way Tangy Fruits were packaged made them great for cinemas. Their special containers meant there was no noisy rustling when you reached for a candy. This was good because it didn't disturb other people watching the movie! Also, if you accidentally dropped one, they were round and rolled easily down the aisles. Some people even thought they were fun for gently tossing to friends.
Who Made Tangy Fruits?
These popular candies were made by a company called Cadbury. Cadbury is a well-known confectioner that makes many sweet treats. They owned the Pascall brand, which was responsible for selling and distributing Tangy Fruits.
Why Did They Disappear?
Sadly, the production of Tangy Fruits stopped in 2008. This happened because not enough people were buying them anymore. When a product doesn't have enough customers, companies sometimes stop making it. Even though they are no longer made, many people in New Zealand still remember Tangy Fruits fondly!
