What it is
Short cylinders of chewy liquorice style rope in bright colours with a fondant centre. Sold by weight and eaten in handfuls.
Taste
Where it comes from
Cartridges are cut lengths of the same extruded rope used for wheels and pencils, and cutting them short was simply a way to sell the format loose rather than as a single long piece. The rainbow colours are a modern addition aimed at children.
What it's made of
Sugar, glucose and fructose syrup and wheat flour extruded as a filled rope and cut into short lengths, coloured with a range of food colours.
