🎃 Pumpkin Rock

Posted 3 years ago by the Penpol Pumpkins

We’ve heard from other teams who have been in International Finals that it’s quite common to bring a sweet treat from your country to share with all the other teams.  We really hope this is true (who wouldn’t want to try 80 different sweets?!) so the Pumpkins got to thinking about what a typical British sweet might be.

After some thought, they settled on the idea of pieces of Rock.  A lightbulb went off and we realised that perhaps we could even get our own, personal, rock made!  A few emails later and thanks to the incredibly kind Sue at Promotional Candy, the Pumpkins had commissioned their very own Union Jack coloured sweets!

Don’t they look absolutely awesome? And so cool to see them being made too.
