The Haribo Awesome Axolotls are being added to the brand's product portfolio as a charming, amphibian-inspired treat perfect for consumers of all ages to enjoy.
The candy will come in 160-gram packs and feature a variety of flavors to choose from in the mix, which are each shaped with the friendly face of a cartoon axolotl in mind. The flavors include blackcurrant, strawberry, apple, pineapple and raspberry. The product is being launched in the UK later this month at Poundland, B&M, Iceland and a variety of high street retailers where shoppers can pick it up for £1.25.
Marketing Manger Peter Robinson commented on the Haribo Awesome Axolotls saying, "We’re pleased to announce the launch of our limited edition Haribo Awesome Axolotls this summer, offering something new and exciting to try from Haribo."
