Pippi Longstocking is the strongest girl in the world, and even she can’t resist a candy craving! In honor of her 80th birthday, BonBon is releasing a new Swedish-style candy as bright and playful as the beloved character.Â
A treat inspired by the world’s strongest girl has a lot to live up to, but BonBon has mighty, mouthwatering flavor in the bag. Pippi’s Gold Coins blends juicy pineapple and apricot with a powerful sour punch, perfect for a midday pick-me-up. As a tribute to its fellow Swede, BonBon will also add Pippi Longstocking merch, wigs, and Astrid Lindgren’s timeless book series to its shelves — now that’s a sweet deal!

For every bag of candy and book sold, BonBon will donate some of its proceeds to the World Childhood Foundation USA, coincidentally founded by Sweden’s Queen Silvia! This nonprofit works tirelessly to protect kids from abuse and exploitation. A simple candy craving can become a beacon of hope and courage for kids around the world, just like Pippi has been for nearly a century.
The limited-edition candies are available now at all BonBon locations, online at www.bonbonnyc.com, on the TikTok shop, and wherever else you get your sugar fix.
