These satisfyingly chewy 50g gummies contain 89% less sugar than conventional sour cola bottles, with no added sugar and 7g of plant-based prebiotic fibre. Pair them with bourbon or dark rum for a playful riff on an iconic drinks combination, or simply enjoy them straight from the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes \u0026amp; Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lively sour tang hits first, quickly opening into familiar cola flavours with notes reminiscent of citrus, caramel and warming spice. A juicy thread of lemon brightens the centre, cutting through the deeper cola character before a sweet-tart finish brings everything neatly together. Chewy and mouth-watering without becoming cloying, these bottles deliver that unmistakable nostalgic cola experience with an extra flash of citrus freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e FUNDAY Natural Sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sour Cola Gummy Bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sour Cola \u0026amp; Lemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soluble fibre from tapioca, chicory root fibre, halal beef gelatine, rice flour, citric and malic acids, natural flavour and colours, carnauba wax and stevia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified gluten-free, no added sugar, no sugar alcohols, natural colours and flavours, GMO-free ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergen Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gluten-free and independently gluten tested; no major allergens are highlighted in the listed ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gifting, dark-spirit pairings, entertaining and everyday indulgence\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a cool, dry place between 16–20°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFUNDAY's approach to confectionery is rooted in nostalgia, but the Australian brand rarely leaves the classics untouched. Its Sour Cola Gummy Bottles came about after the FUNDAY community asked for a better-for-you interpretation of one of the world's most recognisable gummy sweets. The team worked through extensive taste testing to find the right balance between cola sweetness and tangy sourness, eventually introducing a touch of lemon to sharpen the finished flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formulation itself is characteristically FUNDAY. Soluble fibre derived from tapioca and chicory root fibre provide the foundation, while stevia helps balance sweetness without adding sugar. Halal beef gelatine creates the familiar gummy-bottle chew, and citric and malic acids deliver the lively sour character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNatural concentrates of apple, carrot and hibiscus provide colour, while the cola and lemon flavour combination gives these gummies an identity all their own. The result is recognisably nostalgic yet brighter, tangier and considerably more contemporary than the traditional cola bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFUNDAY Sour Cola Gummy Bottles contain 89% less sugar than comparable sour cola gummies, without relying on added sugar or sugar alcohols. Instead, their formulation uses tapioca-derived soluble fibre, chicory root fibre and stevia, delivering 7g of plant-based prebiotic fibre in each compact 50g pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavour profile is particularly distinctive. Rather than straightforward sweet cola, FUNDAY adds a juicy lemon note and a deliberately tart edge, giving the gummies greater freshness and making them surprisingly effective alongside spirits. Natural colours derived from apple, carrot and hibiscus maintain the brand's preference for naturally sourced ingredients, with no artificial colours or flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCertified gluten-free, made with GMO-free ingredients and carrying a 5 Health Star Rating, these little bottles also happen to be exceptionally well suited to COVE 27 gifting. Their cola-and-citrus profile has a natural affinity with bourbon, dark rum and spiced rum, turning a nostalgic sweet into a clever accompaniment to premium spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRecognition \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese sour cola bottles combine FUNDAY's award-winning approach with strong product-specific nutritional and formulation credentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinner – Best Food Product\u003c\/strong\u003e – Naturally Good Awards 2022, FUNDAY Natural Sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 Health Star Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e – FUNDAY Sour Cola Gummy Bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e89% Less Sugar\u003c\/strong\u003e – Compared with conventional sour cola gummy bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7g Plant-Based Prebiotic Fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e – Per 50g pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertified Gluten-Free\u003c\/strong\u003e – Independently gluten tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Added Sugar\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sweetness balanced with fibre and stevia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Sugar Alcohols\u003c\/strong\u003e – Made without commonly used polyol sweeteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Colours \u0026amp; Flavours\u003c\/strong\u003e – Including apple, carrot and hibiscus-derived colour concentrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a clever reinvention of a familiar favourite, retaining the fun of cola bottles while giving the recipe a distinctly FUNDAY makeover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLiquor Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSour cola and lemon make these gummies natural partners for oak-aged spirits, where caramel, vanilla and spice create an elevated riff on the timeless combination of cola and dark liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBourbon:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perhaps the ultimate match.
