The festive fast-mover built for margin: Sour Torpedoes 1kg
Posted on: 21/11/2025
For value that actually moves, Sour Torpedoes 1kg delivers bright colour, full-throttle tang and a price that makes tills sing. We’re talking a full kilogram for just £1.50 Ex VAT, the kind of headline that turns browsers into basket-fillers and gives resellers a clear path to profit. If you’re building a festive bay, they’re a natural companion to your Christmas display — and if you’re hunting for great value Christmas Sweets this Christmas, look no further.
Why they sell out
- High impact – neon-bright pieces, big sour hit, family-friendly fruit notes.
- Value that stacks – 1kg format priced to move, ideal for bulk buyers and gift builders.
- Display dynamite – eye-catching in stacks, irresistible at counters, perfect for multi-buys.
Turn stock into a seasonal product range
Don’t just sell the kilo. Repackage and multiply your margin:
- Rebagging: use our sweet bags for pick-and-mix sweet cones or 150–300g “movie night” packs.
- Gift jars: fill and finish with our empty sweet jars for an instant stocking-filler or Secret Santa gift they’ll actually want.
Worked example: hit a 70% POR with a 630ml Christmas Tree Sweet Jar
Here’s the simple maths using the 630ml Christmas Tree Sweet Jar at £0.85 Ex VAT and Sour Torpedoes at £1.50/kg Ex VAT (kilo price derived from £2.99 inc VAT):
- Estimated fill weight (630ml jar): ~450g of Torpedoes*
- Candy cost: 0.45kg × £1.50 = £0.68
- Packaging cost: jar £0.85
- Total cost (ex VAT): £0.68 + £0.85 = £1.53
- Target POR: 70% (profit ÷ selling price)
- Required selling price (ex VAT): £1.53 ÷ 0.30 = £5.08
- Suggested shelf price (inc VAT @20%): ~£6.10
*Typical jelly density puts a 630ml fill around 430–470g; 450g gives a tidy, brim-full finish without stressing the lid.
What that means for you
- Unit profit (ex VAT): ~£5.08 − £1.53 = £3.55
- POR: ~70%
- Rate of sale: gift-ready format + bright sour profile = fast repeats.
Merchandising that works in the real world
- Build a value ladder: Sour Torpedoes 1kg as the value anchor; upsell into gift jars for bigger baskets.
- Create bundle logic: “Movie Night Sour Jar” (630ml) + two 200g rebag packs at a sharp bundle price.
- Livestream-ready: weigh, fill, ribbon, price on camera — quick, visual, and persuasive.
At-a-glance
- Product: Sour Torpedoes 1kg
- Price: £1.50 Ex VAT
- Use cases: rebagging, cones, hampers, 630ml Christmas Tree Sweet Jar gifting
- Seasonal tie-in: Christmas range + value Christmas Sweets
Shoppers want colour, crunch and keen pricing; you want velocity and margin. Sour Torpedoes 1kg gives you both — and when you repackage into a 630ml Christmas Tree Sweet Jar at a ~70% POR, the numbers speak for themselves. Strictly whilst stocks last: load up now and let the sour sparkle do the heavy lifting.
