Where it comes from
The crocodile is one of the older novelty gummy shapes, arriving in the wave of animal moulds that followed the bear in the 1980s. Its length makes it feel like better value than a small sweet, which is part of why it sells.
What it's made of
Glucose syrup, sugar and pork and beef gelatine deposited in two colours into a long mould, set with pectin, dried and glazed with carnauba wax and beeswax.
