Swizzels Triple Dip Sour candy product has been debuted as an expanded version of the brand's signature Double Dip to help celebrate its 50th anniversary. The product features its signature powdered candy composition in three flavors including strawberry, apple and blue raspberry, and comes with the signature Swizzelstick for dipping. The candy product is priced at 50p in the UK and builds on the aforementioned anniversary of the product line, but also responds to the popularity of sour candy experiences.
Trade and Shopper Marketing Manager Clare Newton commented on the Swizzels Triple Dip Sour candy product saying, "Double Dip has been loved for generations and this timeless treat is just as popular today. With sour confectionery in high demand, creating a Triple Dip that leans into this trend felt like the perfect way to mark 50 years since Double Dip first launched. Both products are vegan-friendly and affordable, appealing to a wide range of consumers and enabling retailers to bring something new to their novelty offerings."
