Spangles
Spangles are small, flat, disk-shaped candies that are typically made of sugar and flavorings. They are often brightly colored and have a shiny, metallic appearance due to a coating of edible glitter or other reflective materials. Spangles are commonly found in the United Kingdom, where they have been a popular confectionery item since the 1950s. The original spangles were produced by Mars, Incorporated, and were marketed as Opal Fruits in the UK. They were initially available in four flavors: lemon, lime, orange, and strawberry. In the 1970s, Mars rebranded the candies as Starburst and introduced additional flavors, such as cherry and grape. However, the original spangles remained a beloved treat among British consumers. Today, spangles are produced by a variety of confectionery companies and are available in a wide range of flavors, including cola, blackcurrant, and tutti frutti. They are often sold in small, resealable packets and are a popular choice for snacking or as a decorative element for cakes and other desserts.
