The Sweet Return of Dweebs Candy – A Willy Wonka Classic Reimagined
If you’re a fan of nostalgic candy, then it’s time to celebrate the return of a 90s favourite—Dweebs Candy. This classic treat is making waves again, and we’ve got the inside scoop on its history, flavour, and where to get it in Canada.
What Are Dweebs Candy?
Dweebs are colourful, crunchy, sugar-coated candies that originally debuted in the early 1990s. They were introduced by The Willy Wonka Candy Company, the same creative minds behind Nerds, Laffy Taffy, Gobstoppers, and Sweetarts. Unlike Nerds, Dweebs were slightly larger in size, a bit softer in texture, and often came in dual or triple-flavour combinations in a single box.
Some of the popular flavour pairings include:
- Grape & Blueberry
- Watermelon & Cherry
- Sour Lemonade & Apple
- Orange & Cola
Dweebs offered a unique snacking experience with a subtle fizz and pop in every bite. They were a favourite among kids for their shareable design and punchy flavours.
The History Behind Dweebs
Originally produced by The Willy Wonka Candy Company, Dweebs were part of the whimsical branding that made Wonka candies a household name. In 1988, Nestlé acquired the Willy Wonka brand, continuing production of Nerds and other candies. However, Dweebs quietly disappeared from shelves in the mid-90s.
Fast forward to the 2000s—Ferrara Candy Company, a division of Ferrero Group, acquired most of the Willy Wonka candy lines from Nestlé. But Dweebs didn’t return immediately.
It wasn’t until American Continental stepped in that Dweebs were revived. Now proudly owned and distributed by American Continental, Dweebs are available once again across Europe and North America. This exciting revival means fans can once again enjoy the candy they grew up loving—and new generations get to discover it too.
Dweebs vs Nerds: What’s the Difference?
While they may look similar, Dweebs and Nerds offer different experiences:
- Size: Dweebs are noticeably larger and have a slightly more pillowy crunch.
- Flavour Profile: Dweebs are less tangy, offering a more subtle sweetness.
- Packaging: Nerds typically come in dual-flavour boxes, while Dweebs often come in multi-flavour packs with resealable lids for freshness.
Both candies have their own cult followings, but if you’re into trying something new with a nostalgic twist, Dweebs might just become your new go-to.
