BonBon Unveils 'Pippi's Gold Coins' Candy for Pippi Longstocking's 80th Birthday Celebration

BonBon Celebrates Pippi Longstocking's Legacy with New Sour Candy

As we approach an important milestone, BonBon Swedish Candy Co. is gearing up to celebrate the 80th birthday of the beloved character Pippi Longstocking. This celebration comes with the launch of an exciting new confectionery treat, ‘Pippi’s Gold Coins.’ Inspired by Pippi, who is celebrated as the strongest girl in the world, this new candy brings an adventurous twist to a classic favorite.

A Tribute to a Timeless Character

Pippi Longstocking, created by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren, has captured the hearts of countless readers across generations. Known for her fierce independence, adventurous spirit, and kind heart, Pippi represents a unique blend of courage and playfulness. The new candy, launching just in time for her official 80th birthday on May 21, 2025, aims to embody these very qualities.

BonBon’s 'Pippi's Gold Coins' features a zesty combination of tropical flavors, specifically pineapple and apricot, which are further enhanced by a lively sour punch—reflective of Pippi’s daring personality. “It is an honor to create a candy that embodies her strong spirit and brings a taste of her unique world to fans everywhere,” states Selim Adira, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at BonBon.

Details of the New Product

Available in 4.2 oz bags, the limited-edition 'Pippi’s Gold Coins' will be distributed widely. Candy lovers can find this exciting product at all BonBon retail locations, online through BonBon's website, and via the BonBon TikTok Shop. The launch is timely, coinciding with the celebrations surrounding Pippi’s big birthday, showcasing the joy and nostalgia that come with this character.

Additionally, BonBon will also offer exclusive Pippi Longstocking wigs and a selection of Astrid Lindgren’s legendary books. The company is taking the opportunity to give back by donating a portion of proceeds from the sales of Pippi-themed products to the World Childhood Foundation USA, which works to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

As part of the birthday celebration and the product launch, BonBon aims to not only bring sweetness into people’s lives but also contribute positively to the community. “This initiative underlines our commitment to not just celebrate our candies, but also raise awareness for crucial issues affecting children’s lives,” Selim Adira adds.
