Retail Confectioner

I have not yet sampled the latest introduction from Big Sky Brands’ Jones Soda Carbonated Candy line … but I don’t have to. If previous offerings are any indication, this new product is going to be as fun (the proof is in the packaging) and flavorful as the last. The collection will include three special-edition varieties, inspired by new Jones Jumble Sodas from Jones Soda Co. Each Jones Jumble tin will contain a mix of three flavored candies: Fufu Berry, Grape and Green Apple; Berry Lemonade, Orange & Cream and Fufu Berry; or Root Beer, Cream Soda and Cola. Retailers, take note: The product will be merchandised in 8-ct. open stock trays as well as 24-ct., 3-tier counter displays.

Ingredients (Fufu Berry variety): Sugar, dextrose, citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, malic acid, natural and artificial flavors, maltodextrin, calcium stearate, colors (red #40 lake).

S.R.P.: $1.99 per tin
