Another Heritage Flavour
Swizzels has built an entire confectionery universe on a handful of core brands. Drumstick Lollies, Refreshers, Love Hearts, and Parma Violets are the bedrock. Alongside them sit the classic penny chews, Black Jacks and Fruit Salads. The latter, with its distinctive raspberry and pineapple flavour in a yellow and pink wrapper, has been a sweet-shop fixture for decades.
This design concept takes that heritage flavour and applies it to one of the company’s most successful modern formats: Squashies. The mockup positions the product as part of a ‘Real Mix Innovation’ series, suggesting a deliberate strategy of converting the entire classic Swizzels portfolio into this newer, softer form. Given that the original Squashies already feature a mix of two legacy products, this seems like a logical, if unrealised, extension.
The Current Squashies Range
Since their launch in 2012, Squashies have become a significant brand for Swizzels, moving far beyond their initial novelty. The original variant combines the flavours of two other Swizzels lollies, the milk-and-raspberry Drumstick and the lemon-and-strawberry Refresher. It established the format’s core principle: familiar flavours in a new, foam-like texture.
The range has expanded considerably since. It now includes single-flavour editions like Bubblegum and Strawberry Cream, as well as a Sour Cherry Apple variant for a different kind of tang. The brand has also branched into frozen treats, with products like Squashies Ice Cream and Splits Lollies, demonstrating how far the format can be pushed. A Fruit Salad edition would bring the range back to its roots, adapting another iconic chew from the company’s back catalogue.
What the real range looks like
The real Swizzels Squashies range includes Original (Drumstick & Refresher), Bubblegum, Ice Cream, Splits Lollies, Strawberry Cream, and Sour Cherry Apple. An invented Fruit Salad flavour would sit alongside the Original variant as another edition based on a classic Swizzels chew.
