Frooties

Frooties — America's Last Penny Candy, in Nine Fruit Flavours

 

Frooties have a distinction that no other American candy can claim: they are one of the last true penny candies still in production. Launched by Tootsie Roll Industries in the 1970s as a fruit-flavoured companion to the original chocolate Tootsie Roll, they've been individually wrapped, fruit-flavoured, and affordable ever since. Soft, chewy, bite-sized — the same format for over fifty years.
 

That longevity is the story. In an era where new candy formats launch and disappear in months, Frooties have outlasted thousands of competitors simply by being exactly what they are: a reliable, well-priced, individually wrapped fruit chew that customers keep coming back to.
 

Sweet and Glory stocks the Frooties range wholesale for UK retailers.
 

The Frooties Range

Frooties come in 360-piece, 1.1kg bags — each bag a single flavour, each piece individually wrapped. The nine flavours currently available are Sour Cherry, Watermelon, Fruit Punch, Strawberry Lemonade, Blue Raspberry, Green Apple, Strawberry, Mango and Grape. Stock a selection of flavours to give customers a full range to pick from.
 

Why Stock Frooties?

The 360-piece bag format makes Frooties one of the most versatile American candy lines for UK retailers. Each piece is exactly the right size for a pick-and-mix display — individually wrapped, consistent size, strong flavour, and a price point that works for impulse buys. The variety of flavours gives customers a reason to try several, and a reason to come back.
 

For retailers without a pick-and-mix setup, the bags work equally well as a take-home product in their own right — a kilo of individually wrapped fruit chews at an accessible price is a straightforward sell. Watermelon and Mango are the standout summer flavours; Sour Cherry and Blue Raspberry work year-round. The individually wrapped format also makes Frooties a reliable Halloween and party line.
