Tangy Fruits were a round, brightly coloured fruit-flavoured confection, manufactured until 2008 by New Zealand company Pascall and mainly sold in cinemas.[1]

They were packaged in 160 gram plastic lidded pottles, which made less noise than other types of plastic packaging.[1] Tangy Fruits were made under license by Pascall, an Australian and New Zealand confectionery company owned by Cadbury's, who ceased production in 2008 citing a lack of consumer demand.[2] This was protested at the time, and the company has been petitioned to reinstate them along with several other "iconic" confections that were also discontinued.[1][3]
