                                First launched in the UK in the 1950s by Swizzels Matlow, the iconic Refresher sweet quickly became a staple of British confectionery. This beloved treat is a fruit-flavored candy distinguished by a chewy texture or compressed tablet form, containing a hidden, tangy sherbet center that creates a fizzing sensation on the tongue. This unique combination of sweet, fruity flavor with an unexpected burst of fizz is what defines the experience of eating a Refresher sweet.
