Tunes (confectionery)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Tunes (sweet))

Tunes are a brand of lozenge, manufactured by Mars Wrigley Confectionery in the United Kingdom. It is marketed as a cough sweet, or anti-congestant lozenge, containing eucalyptus oil and menthol. It is a relative of the now discontinued brand of Spangles, and shares the same packaging and dimensions of that brand.

In the United Kingdom, Tunes no longer have the style packaging of Spangles.[1]

Mars Wrigley Confectionery discontinued the Tunes brand in 2017, the last available flavour of the product was Cherry Menthol, in a sugar free format. No new Tunes products have been made since then. [2]

There was a memorable television advertising campaign for the product with the slogan "Tunes help you breathe more easily". The commercials featured the actor Peter Cleall, who would perfectly enunciate the word "Tunes" after taking the anti-congestant.
