Chew for Victory 2’ had the Muncher stomping about in London trying to sneakily get hold of Chewits by eating the Piccadilly Circus Eros statue and then disguising himself as it.) Chewie’s presence in later years gave a more modern feel to the adverts: one showed an animated Chewie bopping along to the strains of ‘I Like to Chew It, Chew It’ (instead of ‘I like to move it, move it’ of course).

The original adverts used Claymation special effects, similar in style to those made famous in the movies of Ray Harryhausen. They also included a voiceover style reminiscent of a 1950s radio serial. We’ve also seen a whole bunch of initiatives aimed at making us think about what we eat too, from Veganuary to Meat Free Monday, which encourages people to go meat-free one day per week to help the environment, reduce animal suffering and boost health. So what does it mean to be vegetarian?Just a decade or two ago, being vegetarian might have been seen as being ‘fussy’ and often meant missing out at mealtimes, but attitudes have changed – it’s now a popular choice and you should be widely catered for if you eat out.

A second advert saw the Muncher being taken around the world to take bites out of famous buildings such as the Taj Mahal and the Empire State Building but none apparently compared to the taste of Chewits.

Chewie the Chewitsaurus was re-introduced in two popular adverts from this time. In the first, which aired in 1999, Chewie roller skates on two buses through a busy city scene. The second, which went out a year later in 2001, shows Chewie waterskiing at a popular seaside resort.

There are many chewy sweets of note from my childhood: Mojos, Fruit Salads, Pacers etc. but Chewits always stand out in my memory because of their really fruity flavours. And they’ve been a firm favourite of children (and adults) for the entirety of their existence as well for, as one of their former slogans went: "No fruit chew chews chewier"! When the popularity of these Chews grew, they went international and expanded even more. And from time to time, there are even limited edition flavours on sale, too. When Chewits first appeared, there was originally only one flavour: orange. Soon after, this one flavour expanded to another 3 flavours. One of which is now perhaps the most iconic of all the Chewits Chews – Strawberry.
