A sweet nostalgic treat

Bonds Confectionery has unveiled its newest product offering, Sherbet Straws, which are now available to retailers across the UK.

Confectionery lines with a retro feel are currently very popular with UK consumers and the Sherbet Straws have been developed to make the most of this continuing trend. The 110g bags offer four vibrant flavours guaranteed to stimulate the taste buds and give a quick, refreshing burst of orange, lemon, cherry and lime sherbet. Each brightly coloured straw containing a small quantity of sherbet allows parents to regulate the quantity of sugar consumed by their children.

Sherbet Straws have been designed to appeal to a wide audience of both children and adults who enjoy a sugary treat.

Philip Courtenay-Luck, managing director of Bonds Confectionery said: “The Sherbet Straws are already proving to be very popular, and often with those who want a nostalgic treat.

“The initial motivation of the idea around the Sherbet Straws was to our vast range products to sit between our more traditional Sweet Shop range of bags and the 39p kids range and accompany our Retro Classic bag, which was our most successful launch of 2012.”
