Spree (Candy)[edit | edit source]

Spree is a popular candy brand that is produced by the Nestle company. It was originally introduced by the Sunline company in the 1960s and was later acquired by Nestle. Spree candies are known for their unique disc shape and their hard yet chewy texture. They come in a variety of flavors, including cherry, orange, lemon, green apple, and grape.

History[edit | edit source]

Spree was first introduced in the United States by the Sunline company in the 1960s. The candy was initially marketed as a "kick in the mouth" due to its intense flavor. In 1986, the Nestle company acquired Sunline and the Spree brand. Since then, Spree has become a popular candy choice among consumers worldwide.

Product Description[edit | edit source]

Spree candies are small, disc-shaped candies that are hard on the outside and chewy on the inside. They come in a variety of flavors, including cherry, orange, lemon, green apple, and grape. Each candy is coated with a thin layer of shellac to give it a shiny appearance. The candies are typically sold in a roll, but they can also be found in larger bags or boxes.

Varieties[edit | edit source]

Over the years, Nestle has introduced several varieties of Spree candies. These include Chewy Spree, which has a softer texture than the original, and Sour Spree, which features a sour coating on the outside of the candy. There is also a version of Spree that is made with no artificial flavors or colors, known as Natural Spree.

In Popular Culture[edit | edit source]

Spree candies have made appearances in various forms of popular culture. They have been featured in movies, television shows, and even video games. For example, in the video game The Sims 4, players can purchase Spree candies from a vending machine.
