Manufacture

The sweets were formerly made by Terry's of York, and more recently by Kraft Foods (1993-2008) and Smith Kendon[2] in Lancaster (2008-2012). They are now produced by the company Tangerine Confectionery,[3] following its acquisition of Smith Kendon in 2012.[4]

Sweets

The box contains 200g, or 22 sweets, about the size of chocolates. The sugar-coated jellies are manufactured in circular, half-moon, teardrop and diamond shapes and are flavoured lemon, raspberry, strawberry, mandarin, lime and cherry.[nb 1]
