Poland: Energising Caramels

Tuck in to Odra Energy's Energising Caramels and you’ll get more than just a sweet hit of flavour. Designed to reduce tiredness and balance out the effects of intense muscular exercise, these sweets contain caffeine and vitamins.

Germany: Fruit Gummy Bears

Made with real fruit juice, Beauty Sweeties Fruit Gummy Bears (€1.95/£1.66) could be the tastiest way to a good complexion. These fat-free bears contain coenzyme Q10, collagen and hydrating aloe vera, which beauty brands swear by for smooth skin.

Australia: Quinoa & Cranberry Dark Chocolate

With superfood staple quinoa all the rage and coconut the current miracle food, Pico Quinoa & Cranberry Organic Dark Chocolate (AUD5.49/£3.09) is ideal for health-conscious consumers in need of a treat. This 63% cocoa bar is vegan and sweetened with coconut nectar.

China: Cucumber Chewing Gum

Combining two refreshing flavours in one stick of gum, Wrigley’s Doublemint has launched 12-packs of its Cucumber Flavoured Sugar Free Chewing Gum (CNY5.00/£0.57). Besides its unusual flavour, the gum’s long-lasting fresh formula and sugar-free credentials make it good to your mouth too.

Japan: Lactic Acid Chocolate

Lactic acid is great for many things in the human body including providing energy and aiding metabolism. So Lotte Sweets Days has created Lactic Acid Almond Chocolate (JPY324.00/£2.38) to deliver these benefits in delicious form.

US: Fig Balsamic Truffle Chocolate

With rich, chewy Californian figs, velvety Côte d’Ivoire cocoa and a hint of aged Italian balsamic, Bissinger's Fig Balsamic Truffle Dark Chocolate ($5.99/£4.55/85g) is unique and truly luxurious. Its ingredients are also Rainforest Alliance certified and non-GMO.

France: Coffee Chewing Gum

With its sleek packaging, all-natural ingredients and of-the-moment flavours, Simply Gum is a gum for the 21st century. Their coffee variant (€3.85/£3.23) joins Mint and Liquorice & Fennel, and contains natural chicle, organic cane juice and coffee flavour.

Netherlands: Chardonnay Gum

Can’t wait for that glass of after-work wine? Or perhaps you’re off the alcohol for a while? This Real Wine Gum (€7.95/£6.78) gives you the delicious taste of a crisp Chardonnay without the alcohol content.

USA: Pancakes & Maple Syrup Jelly Beans

Famed for their wacky range of flavours, Jelly Belly has launched yet another bold variety. This time it’s an American classic: Pancakes & Maple Syrup Flavoured Jelly Beans ($2.49/£1.92). Now how about a bacon flavour with that?

Germany: Popcorn Tic Tac

While we’re on the theme of outlandish American flavours, Tic Tac has joined the party with new Popcorn Flavoured Dragees (€0.99/£0.84). This limited edition variety retails in a 49g pack featuring a striped popcorn box design.
