About Bottle Caps
Bottle Caps are soda-flavoured pressed tablets shaped like crown caps, launched in 1972 by the maker of SweeTarts. The brand came to Ferrara with Nestlé's United States candy business in 2018. The flavours imitate cola, root beer, orange, cherry and grape, and the product sits in the same tart candy family as SweeTarts and Nerds.
