Introducing A New Boldly Sour Tropical Swedish Candy Inspired by the Strongest Girl in the World
NEW YORK, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BonBon, America’s Swedish candy pioneers and purveyors since 2017, is thrilled to unveil its latest confectionary creation inspired by Pippi Longstocking, a childhood hero known as the strongest girl in the world. This exciting new candy, inspired by Pippi’s resilient spirit, is a tangy, sour tropical delight available nationwide starting today just in time for Pippi’s official 80th birthday on May 21, 2025.
Pippi Longstocking, the iconic character created by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren, has captured the hearts of readers for generations with her fearless independence, playful mischief, and unwavering kindness. As a tribute to her adventurous legacy, Pippi’s Gold Coins combines bright flavors of pineapple and apricot with an electrifying sour kick—just as daring as Pippi herself.
“Pippi has always been a symbol of girl power, courage, and imagination. It is an honor to create a candy that embodies her strong spirit and brings a taste of her unique world to fans everywhere,” said Selim Adira, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of BonBon Swedish Candy Co.
The limited-edition candy will be available in 4.2 oz bags at all BonBon locations, online at www.bonbonnyc.com, through BonBon’s TikTok Shop, and at select retailers nationwide. In addition, exclusive Pippi Longstocking wigs and Astrid Lindgren’s beloved books will be available at all BonBon stores and online. A portion of the proceeds from BonBon’s sales of Pippi books and candy will be donated to the World Childhood Foundation USA, founded by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden, to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation.
