Dweebs were a larger version of the popular candy Nerds produced by The Willy Wonka Candy Company, now owned by American Continental.[1]
Dweebs are sugar coated candies introduced in the early 1990s alongside Nerds under the Willy Wonka brand. They were discontinued after only a few years on the market, before making a return to the European market in 2022. Dweebs are generally considered to be slightly softer than Nerds, although largely a very similar candy product.
They are currently available in 4 flavours. Grape & Blueberry, Watermelon & Cherry, Orange & Cola and Sour Lemonade & Apple.[2]
One notable difference from Nerds is that Dweebs came in boxes with three compartments, rather than two. This arrangement allowed for packing a third flavor in each box.
