The sweetshop range which inspires nostalgia – perfect for car rides and adventures (and even games! Ever heard of the Strawberry Lace challenge?). Chewits Juicy BitesIn 2009, Chewits launched a programme to help young sporting hopefuls ahead of the London Olympics in 2012. The Chewits Young Sporting Ambassador programme provides financial support and coaching to sponsored athletes. [20] In 1989, a new, exciting flavour was introduced to the range. That flavour was Ice Cream Chewits. Perhaps it’s one of the more fondly remembered flavours for those who enjoyed Chewits in the nineties. Though it was discontinued in the early noughties, Ice Cream Chewits were actually relaunched in 2009 due to a popular campaign. In the late 1990s, Chewits experimented with ads showing multiple newscasting dinosaur puppets. The catchphrase advice at the close of each 'broadcast' was to "do it before you chew it". This style of ads was relatively short-lived for Chewits. Cola then extended the range of flavours even more, Chewits introduced a Sour range and now, there’s a whole variety of flavours. And not just for the Chews, but also for the Juicy Bites, and the Xtreme Range.

Along with Ice Cream Chewits came the introduction of other newer flavours, Cola, Rhubarb & Custard, and Blue Mint. Originally launched as limited edition flavours, Cola became an ever-popular Chewits choice so it’s been in our range ever since. It is often found in gummy sweets as it is a great way to give their sweets some bite and chew to them. Chewits have been involved in a range of promotional activity over the years including the Chewits log flume at Pleasureland in Southport. More recently, Chewits have sponsored several sport and activity-related programmes for children in the UK. In 2003, after a further shift in advertising agencies, a new ad was aired showing a wide range of animals auditioning to be the new face of Chewits. The ad announced the return of the iconic dinosaur Chewie mascot, now dubbed 'Chewie the Chewitsaurus'. [12] When Chewits first appeared, there was originally only one flavour: orange. Soon after, this one flavour expanded to another 3 flavours. One of which is now perhaps the most iconic of all the Chewits Chews – Strawberry.

Chewits are not made with gelatine, so you can be sure that the chewy texture you know, and love is completely pork-free and completely dinolicious. In late 2019, a new design was introduced for Chewie, with a mottled paint effect on the colours, and more exaggerated mouth and teeth.

Here is a comprehensive list of all our products and the flavours they’re available to buy in: Chews Core Range It’s because of this use of animal-based gelatine that some sweets are not suitable for vegetarians, vegans or those who follow halal or kosher diets. Are Chewits Halal? We’ve all got the one sweet that was our favourite during childhood. And now, thinking about it brings nostalgia but also disappointment that we can’t have it again. Quite a lot of the sweets we enjoyed during our childhood have since been discontinued.Chewits Sports Courses, in partnership with children's coaching organisation Premier Sport, run daily during school holidays and provide sporting activity courses to approximately 125,000 children in the UK.
