Sports Mixture: Firm Fruit and Liquorice Gums with a Sporting Spirit

Few classics bring more competitive character to Pick and Mix Sweets than Sports Mixture. These traditional hard gums combine assorted fruit flavours with rich black liquorice, all formed into playful sporting shapes that make identifying the event almost as entertaining as eating the sweet.

The texture is deliberately firm, giving every piece a long, satisfying chew and allowing its flavour to develop gradually. Bright fruit gums provide sweetness and gentle tang, while the liquorice pieces contribute a deeper, more aromatic note. It is a balanced team, although the black ones continue to provoke selection disputes of international seriousness.

The assortment of boots, balls, rackets and other sporting designs gives every handful variety, while the natural colours and flavours preserve its traditional appeal.
