Two Icons, One Bag
Swizzels has built an entire sub-brand on a single, effective idea: what if their classic hard sweets were soft? The Squashies range takes established products like Drumstick lollies and Love Hearts and reworks them into a foam gum format. It’s been a huge success, spawning a whole new line of confectionery that now exists independently of its source material.
This concept, however, proposes a direct crossover. The bag imagines a mix of Squashies based not on a boiled sweet or lolly, but on another iconic Swizzels chew: Refreshers. The original Refreshers chew bar is famous for its sharp lemon or strawberry flavour and, most importantly, the core of fizzy sherbet powder that runs through the middle. A Squashies version would have to replicate that sensation, presumably embedding sherbet inside the soft foam sweet.
The Squashies Range Today
The current Squashies lineup is surprisingly broad. It began with the Original mix, featuring the milk-and-raspberry of Drumstick lollies and the fruity flavours of Love Hearts. From there, the range expanded into single-flavour bags and more inventive concepts. Today, you can find Swizzels Squashies Bubblegum, Sour Cherry Apple, and Strawberry Cream.
The brand has also looked to other nostalgic treats for inspiration. The range includes Squashies Ice Cream, which features flavours based on ice cream parlour classics, and Squashies Splits Lollies, mimicking the iconic fruit-and-ice-cream lolly. A Refreshers edition would be the first time the brand has ‘squashed’ another major Swizzels chew bar, marking a new direction for these hugely popular sweets.
What the real range looks like
The genuine Swizzels Squashies range includes Original, Bubblegum, Ice Cream, Splits Lollies, Strawberry Cream, and Sour Cherry Apple. A Fizzy Refreshers Mix would be the first to incorporate another major Swizzels chew bar into the lineup, sitting alongside the other flavour variations.
