Swizzles Squashies DrumChick - 120g

Squashies are a fixture of the British sweet aisle: soft, bouncy, slightly chewy, and gone faster than anyone means them to be. They sit in the same Swizzels family as Love Hearts and Refreshers, the sweets that turned up in party bags and school tuck shops for decades.

People in Canada go looking for these for one simple reason. The Drumstick flavour is tied to being a kid in Britain, and a flavour like that does not pack itself in your suitcase when you move.

The 120g bag is a sharing size, in theory. Kept sealed in the cupboard it holds up well, and once it is open it tends to live in a bowl on the coffee table until it quietly empties. It also does a good job filling out an Easter basket or hiding round the garden for an egg hunt.

People who buy DrumChick often add other Swizzels favourites while they are at it, such as Drumstick lollies or a roll of Love Hearts, and end up with a small, very British pick and mix.
