Sports Mixture
Sports Mixture is a confectionery product manufactured by Maynards in the UK, formerly by Lion Confectionery. The Lion brand has since been adopted by Tangerine Confectionery who manufacture Sports Mixture to the original Lion Confectionary version. Maynard and Lion are both owned by Cadbury UK, formerly Cadbury Trebor Bassett.
It consists of fruit-flavoured hard gums in the shape of sports equipment such as sailing boats, tennis raquets, rugby balls, cricket stumps, jerseys, cricket bats and footballs. The gums come in five different colours - red, orange, black, yellow and green. The product used to contain liquorice flavoured pieces, but this has now replaced by blackcurrant. The Maynard's Sports Mix contains only completely natural colours.
It is not suitable for vegetarians because it contains gelatin. [1]
