Why Do FUNDAY Sweets Cost More Than Other Lollies?

Why Do FUNDAY Sweets Cost More Than Other Lollies?

You might be wondering why a packet of FUNDAY Sweets costs a bit more than your usual lollies. The answer is simple: FUNDAY is made with high-quality ingredients that support a healthier lifestyle, making them worth every cent. We don’t compromise on quality or taste. 


Keep reading to find out why FUNDAY is worth it for a tastier and healthier sweet experience.

 

What Are FUNDAY Sweets?

FUNDAY Sweets are just like the ones you enjoyed as a kid, just a whole lot healthier (and tastier dare we say).

Most traditional lollies are full of inexpensive ingredients like glucose syrup, cane syrup and other refined sugars. At FUNDAY, we said screw that! You’ll never find glucose syrup or any refined sugars in our sweets. Instead, our lollies contain up to 91% less sugar than regular lollies and are instead made with premium ingredients like tapioca starch and chicory root fibre, and sweetened with a dash of natural stevia.


 

Why Are Regular Lollies Cheap?

When you buy a packet of regular lollies, the reason you pay so little is because they tend to use inexpensive ingredients. Here’s why:

 

1. Using cheaper ingredients

The price of sweeteners is a huge factor in the overall cost of lollies. Many lolly companies use cost-effective sweeteners like glucose syrup and cane sugar, which keeps production costs low.


At FUNDAY Sweets, we believe in quality. We replace refined sugars with premium ingredients like tapioca starch and chicory root fibre, and sweeten our sweets with a dash of stevia. These ingredients not only taste delicious but also have some pretty rad benefits for your health. The added fibre can be great for your gut health and can help ward off those unpleasant sugar crashes that often accompany traditional sugary lollies, ensuring you feel satisfied longer.


2. Natural vs. Artificial Colours and Flavours

Sweets get their taste and look from either natural or artificial flavours and colours. Artificial flavours and colours are made in a lab, which can make them cheaper to produce. On the other hand, natural flavours and colours come from real food sources. For instance at FUNDAY, we use real food ingredients like strawberries, carrots, and spirulina to colour and flavour our lollies. This natural approach costs a bit more, but it ensures you're enjoying wholesome ingredients.

 

What Makes FUNDAY So Sweet?

1. FUNDAY Sweets Are Lower in Sugar

With up to 91% less sugar than regular lollies, FUNDAY Sweets are a great choice for those looking to reduce their sugar intake.

 

2.  FUNDAY Sweets Support Your Gut Health

Our lollies contain prebiotic fibre, which can help feed the good probiotic bacteria in your gut. This can aid with digestion and overall gut health.

 

3. FUNDAY Sweets Use Natural Ingredients

We’ve said see ya later to artificial ingredients! Instead, we use natural sweeteners, colours, and flavours.

So, Why Are FUNDAY Sweets More Expensive?

FUNDAY Sweets may remind you of the lollies you loved as a kid, but they’re a whole new kind of treat. Our lollies can help support a healthy lifestyle. Our commitment to using high-quality ingredients means they're a little more costly, but hey, we think your body (and tastebuds) deserve the best!
