Nobody ever eats just the one they wanted. You reach in, you get whatever comes out, and you pretend that was the plan all along.
Rowntree's Randoms Festives take that same lucky dip and give it a Christmas jumper. It is the familiar Randoms pouch, full of chewy jelly shapes, only this time the shapes have gone festive.
It is the bag that gets opened on Christmas Eve "just to try one", then found on Boxing Day, folded over and suspiciously light. A small taste of a British Christmas, even when home is an ocean away.
Frequently asked questions about Rowntree's Randoms Festives
Q: Is this the proper UK version of Randoms Festives?
A: It is. These are the British Rowntree's Randoms Festives, brought over to us and shipped from within Canada.
Q: How big is the bag?
A: It is a 130g pouch. Enough to share round the family, or not, depending on how generous you are feeling.
Q: Do they make a good stocking filler?
A: Very good. They are light, they squash into the toe of a stocking, and they make a nice Christmas gift for someone who misses home.
Q: Do you carry other Rowntree's sweets?
A: We stock other Rowntree's sweets alongside Randoms, so it is worth having a look around the confectionery section while you are here.
More about Rowntree's Randoms Festives
Randoms sit in the jelly sweet aisle of every British corner shop, between the Fruit Pastilles and the Jelly Tots. They are the bag people buy for the car, the cinema and the long afternoon in front of the telly.
Here in Canada, people go looking for them because the shapes are half the fun, and nothing else in the sweet aisle at home quite does that same game of guessing what you will pull out next. At Christmas the festive pouch is the one people remember seeing in the shops back home.
The pouch is resealable in the loosest sense: you fold the top over and promise to come back later. Kept somewhere cool and dry in the cupboard, it stays ready for the next raid. It slips into a stocking without anyone noticing the shape, and it fits on the arm of the sofa during the Christmas film.
Rowntree's makes a whole family of British sweets, and people tend to pick up a few together: Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums and Jelly Tots all sit very comfortably next to a bag of Randoms in a box of British Christmas food.
