What it is
A soft pastel gummy unicorn in mixed fruit flavours. Bought almost entirely for the shape and the colours, which is exactly why it works.
Taste
Where it comes from
The unicorn became a commercial phenomenon in the mid 2010s, spreading from social media into food, drink and confectionery. Sweet makers were quick to mould it, and the unicorn now sits alongside far older shapes in British pick and mix as a permanent fixture rather than a fad.
What it's made of
Glucose syrup, sugar and gelatine deposited in pastel colours into a detailed mould, dried and glazed.
