Sweets are always a big hit in our house as they are in most houses with children I am sure. That being said I like to keep their sweet in take to a minimum and go for a better option so to speak to when Rowntrees sent me through their new Fruit Bottles I couldn’t wait to try them out.
The packaging is bright and looks like fun, the sweets themselves look like retro cola bottles, but are a little more squishier. The packets have just enough sweets to hit the spot as an adult and aren’t too many to spoil a child’s appetite.
We were sent them through in retro style bottles which had little fun eyes stuck to them. The boys loved these and have been drinking their water and juice out of them.
There are five juicy flavours in each pack and they are made from 25% fruit juice, don’t contain any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. They also don’t contain any gelatine so as far as I can see are suitable for vegetarians too. They do have some strange ingredients, like black carrot, Hibiscus, Nettle and Spinach. Healthy but tasty.
Lucas gave them a big thumbs up.
Over on the Rowntrees Facebook page you can play around with their Retro app which lets you view all things Retro through the ‘Bottle Goggles’. There are also themed prizes and sweets to be won.
