Very brings back Woolworths Pic’n Mix to benefit Coram Beanstalk

Just in time for Christmas, our charity partner Very.co.uk is bringing back Woolworths’ famous Pic’n Mix, with 100% of the profits being donated to Coram Beanstalk!

Woolworths Pic’n Mix jars are available now exclusively from Very.co.uk priced at £15.99 and include some of the nation’s favourite sweets, including Black Jacks, Fruit Salads, Anglo Bubbly, Cola bottles, Dolly mixture, Twin cherries, Pear drops, Jelly snakes, Kola cubes and Liquorice allsorts.

“So many of us have fond childhood memories of Woolworths’ amazing selection of sweets. The launch of this much-loved product is a fun and nostalgic way to support our charity partner, Coram Beanstalk, to help them raise much needed funds for the great work they do.” Jeremy Stevens, Very category director.

To accompany the launch, Very commissioned research exploring Britain’s love of confectionary:

Cola topped the favour charts with a staggering 37% of us placing Cola bottles in our top three sweets, closely followed by 29% for Kola cubes. Boiled sweets remain popular, with 40% choosing them as their preferred type of sweet, followed closely by a third favouring a foam sweet, such as fried eggs, foam bananas and shrimps.

“Coram Beanstalk is as happy as a child in a sweet shop to be receiving 100% of the profits from Very’s launch of Woolworths Pic’n Mix. The money raised will go towards helping those children who need extra support to catch up after this year of disrupted schooling.” Ginny Lunn, MD Coram Beanstalk.
