History

In 1971 Galle & Jessen were looking for a name for their new candy. They came across the name "Spunk" in the Pippi Longstocking book Pippi in the South Seas, in which Pippi invents a word for which she can find no use. The boxes bear the name Spunk and a drawing of a "fantasy animal" made by an 8-year-old girl. As with the Danish Ga-Jol pastilles (also produced by Galle & Jessen), the boxes have a little saying or word of advice on the inside of the box lid.

Spunk comes in three versions:

  • pastilles made from salty liquorice and sold in a black box
  • wine gums of four different flavours and colours--red, yellow, green, and orange--sold in a green box
  • brown cola-flavoured wine gums sold in a brown box

Each box contains 20 or 23 grams of candy.
