What exactly is a Percy Pig?
Percy Pig has had a cult following for more than 30 years, often being a treat of choice for celebrities. Since it was introduced in 1992, it has transcended from a sweet treat to a cultural icon.
The iconic pig has appeared in beauty and fashion products, has an impressive TikTok following, and even auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent.
The chewy, vegan gums are made with real fruit juice and no artificial ingredients or flavourings.
