Extra gives mind and body a boost with Reading Festival tickets, experiences

Mars Wrigley has launched an exciting competition for Extra gum, where consumers can win tickets to Reading Festival, alongside other experiences at the event, which runs over the August Bank Holiday weekend*.

“To further supercharge gum category growth and increase penetration with Gen Z, we have partnered with Reading Festival to offer shoppers the chance to win festival tickets and experiences,” said Hannah Lee, Senior Brand Manager, Wrigley’s Extra.


“Our research shows that when out-of-home and chewing gum, 42 per cent of consumers are working, studying or emailing, followed by listening to a podcast or music (22 per cent). Up to 98 per cent of Gen Z and students say music plays a great role in their overall happiness, and 70 per cent say going to live music events is part of their mental wellness plan.

“Extra gum is there for when consumers want to work hard and when they want to play hard – it’s all about balance! The legendary Reading Festival attracts an array of fans including those looking to relax post-exams, and what better way to follow all the months of revision, but with three days of the very best music? All for just the price of a packet of gum.”

Shoppers need to simply scan the QR code on pack and enter the last four digits of the on-pack barcode for their chance to win.

Extra gum, Extra Refreshers and Extra White are all sugar-free. Extra gum is available in Strawberry, Apple, Blueberry, Cool Breeze, Peppermint and Spearmint. Extra Refreshers, with a crunchy exterior coated in tiny crystals and a chewy centre bursting with flavour, is available in Tropical, Bubblemint, Peppermint and Spearmint. Extra White, an easy and effective way to help maintain the natural whiteness of teeth and support a good dental hygiene routine, is available in both Bubblemint and original varieties.

Wrigley’s Extra is available at retailers nationwide, and the competition runs until midnight on Sunday 26th March**.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
