#32: Bottle Caps Candy

A classic in the candy world, Bottle Caps mimic the look of metal soda bottle caps and tantalize the taste buds with flavors like grape, orange, cola, cherry, and root beer. These candies, akin to Smarties, Runts, and SweeTarts, combine sweet and sour in a delightful way. They are a nostalgic treat from the Willy Wonka Candy Company, a branch of Nestle.

The evolution of Bottle Caps candy includes a shift from a lemon-lime flavor to cherry and the introduction, then discontinuation, of the fizzier variety that intensified the taste experience. In a notable change in 2009, the candy’s traditional shape was altered by flattening the bottom, although the packaging retained its classic look.
