MAYNARDS Bassetts Wine Gums have been given an adult twist and now come in mocktail flavours too, including Pina Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri.
The sweeties - that are a necessity for every long car journey - don't actually contain any alcohol, but they do replicate the flavours of some of our favourite cocktails.
There are three flavours in all, including a Cuba Libre one too. The confectionery firm launched them earlier this month and we're not sure why people aren't making a bigger fuss about them.
They're slowly being rolled out to newsagents and some shoppers have even spotted them in Morrisons for £1.
Even though they were released almost a month ago, people with a sweet tooth are only just noticing them.
One shopper pointed out that the sweets would be the "closest [she's getting to a cocktail in 2018" explaining that it's because she's pregnant.

This is the first time they've branched into the mocktail flavours. We've not tried them yet but one taste tester said they were "".
