Fish and chips, pork pie and Wensleydale cheese are some of the flavors that capture the essence of Britain and National Express turned them into a range of limited-edition travel sweets. The tastebud tour of Britain was created to celebrate easing lockdown restrictions and the travel company created flavors inspired by British locations that can be visited by National Express coaches.
Alongside the aforementioned flavors that draw inspiration from coastal towns, Leicestershire and Yorkshire, the collection of travel-inspired sweets also pays homage to Cornwall with Cornish pastry, Manchester with Eccles cake and curry for Birmingham. The Tastes of Normal travel sweets are packaged in metal tins that look like regular candy packaging yet they contain flavors that are anything but ordinary and promise to inspire wanderlust and traveling in safety and comfort.
