Gummy & Jelly Candy — Mike and Ike, Jelly Belly, Nerds, Skittles & all the best gummies imported from the USA

Mike and Ike — the iconic fruity jelly bean since 1940

Mike and Ike by Just Born have been among the best-selling gummy sweets in the United States for over 80 years. These small oblong capsules with a thin shell and a soft jelly centre deliver pure, intense fruit flavours. The Original Fruits range (cherry, lemon, strawberry, orange, lime) is an absolute classic, but it's the sheer variety of spin-offs that makes the brand stand out: Mega Mix, Tropical Typhoon, Red Rageous, Berry Blast, and of course the Sour versions for those who like a tangy kick. Mike and Ike also offers Filled Ropes and the Mike and Ike Taffy format. A pillar of American confectionery that Pop's America imports directly from the United States in several sizes.

Jelly Belly — the gourmet jelly bean with 50+ flavours

Jelly Belly elevated the humble jelly bean to gourmet status. Made in California since 1976, these little jelly beans stand out for their flavour accuracy: each one is crafted to faithfully reproduce a real taste. From classics like Very Cherry, Blueberry and Watermelon to bolder picks like Buttered Popcorn, Toasted Marshmallow and Dr Pepper, the catalogue runs to over 50 varieties. Then there are the special editions: the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans under the Harry Potter licence, featuring surprise flavours that range from delicious to revolting. The Sours and Hot Cinnamon lines round out a flavour universe unlike anything else in the world.

Nerds Gummy Clusters & Big Chewy Nerds — Wonka's gummy phenomenon

Nerds started life as tiny crunchy sweets, but their evolution into gummy form changed everything. Nerds Gummy Clusters have become one of the most viral sweets of recent years: clusters of crunchy mini Nerds stuck around a gummy centre, creating an addictive texture contrast — crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Big Chewy Nerds take the concept further still with large gummy balls coated in a Nerds shell that cracks between your teeth. Available in Rainbow, Very Berry, Sour and even a Freeze Dried version for those after something completely new. A cult brand that has reinvented itself brilliantly.

Skittles, Swedish Fish, Jolly Rancher Gummies — the pillars of American gummy

Skittles need no introduction: these colourful drops with their crunchy shell and jelly centre are one of the world's best-selling sweets. "Taste the Rainbow" spans Fruits, Tropical, Wild Berry, Sour, Darkside, and the Giants versions at three times the size. Swedish Fish are the other unmissable classic: these little red jelly fish with their mysterious flavour — a red berry blend often described as "lingonberry" — have been an institution in the US since the 1950s. And Jolly Rancher Gummies bring the legendary Jolly Rancher fruit flavours — Green Apple, Watermelon, Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Grape — into a bouncy gummy format, available in original, Sour and Lemonade versions.

Gummies in American culture

The confectionery aisle of an American supermarket is a sight to behold — and gummies take pride of place. From the Theatre Box format sold in cinemas to the King Size bags at petrol stations and the resealable pouches lining the candy aisles, American gummy sweets are consumed everywhere, any time of day. What sets US gummies apart from their European counterparts is the intensity: bolder flavours, brighter colours, and a texture that is often firmer and bouncier than the jelly sweets found on this side of the Atlantic. With Life Savers Gummies shaped like life rings and Dots in their colourful geometric forms, every brand brings its own identity to this thriving category.
