Tunes (sweet)
Tunes is a popular brand of cough sweets, known for its distinct menthol and eucalyptus flavor. Originating from the United Kingdom, Tunes are produced by the confectionery company Cadbury, which is now owned by Mondelez International.
History[edit | edit source]
Tunes were first introduced to the market in 1932 by Cadbury. The brand was initially marketed as a medicinal product, with its menthol and eucalyptus flavor designed to help soothe sore throats and clear nasal passages. Over the years, Tunes have evolved into a popular confectionery item, enjoyed not only for their medicinal properties but also for their refreshing taste.
Ingredients and Flavors[edit | edit source]
The primary ingredients in Tunes are sugar, glucose syrup, citric acid, menthol, and eucalyptus oil. These ingredients combine to create a sweet yet refreshing flavor that is unique to Tunes. In addition to the original menthol and eucalyptus flavor, Tunes are also available in cherry and blackcurrant flavors.
Packaging and Availability[edit | edit source]
Tunes are typically sold in small, pocket-sized packs, making them convenient for on-the-go use. They are widely available in supermarkets, pharmacies, and convenience stores across the United Kingdom and Ireland. In recent years, Tunes have also become available for purchase online, expanding their reach to customers worldwide.
In Popular Culture[edit | edit source]
Tunes have made several appearances in popular culture, most notably in British television commercials. The brand's catchy jingle, "Tunes help you breathe more easily," has become a well-known phrase in the UK.
