Barcelona-based art candy shop "Papabubble" has released a gummy inspired by the traditional Spanish good luck charm, the "Caganer." Its striking visual is sure to be a hot topic!

In Barcelona, the birthplace of Papabubble, the Caganer figurine is believed to bring good fortune and joy when displayed at Christmas. To convey this Barcelona tradition and offer a product that brings a smile to both giver and receiver, a sweet inspired by this figurine has been created.

The origins of the Caganer are ancient, dating back to the Baroque period of the 17th and 18th centuries. It is said to have originated from the belief that excrement enriches the soil and leads to a bountiful harvest the following year. In the Catalonia region, where Barcelona is located, there is a custom of displaying Caganer figurines during Christmas celebrations.

Inspired by these Caganer figurines, a poop-shaped gummy has been born. Made with apple-derived pectin, it is suitable for vegans. Seven fruity flavors are available, including mango, strawberry, Japanese pear, and Delaware grape. Its unique, chewy texture is the result of over a thousand trials.

These Caganer sweets are perfect for small gifts for friends or children. Invite good fortune with this traditional Catalan Christmas item.
