SAMIA Bottle Pep's are jelly sweets shaped like small bottles, pink and blue, coated in tangy sugar. The bag describes them as "tangy, tutti frutti flavour", with natural flavourings and colourings. 200 g bag, made in Spain.
What do Bottle Pep's taste like?
A tutti frutti flavour, a mix of fruits, with a sharp tang that tingles on the tongue: that is the meaning of "tangy" on the bag, not chilli. They should not be confused with Cola Pep's from the same brand, brown bottles with a cola flavour.
