A sweet idea by a nine-year-old schoolboy from Co Antrim has become a new product sold in SPAR stores across the UK.
Archie Barr, who hails from Ballygally, has seen his imaginary packet of sweets being made into a reality by the local retailer.
After being presented with Archie’s drawing, which featured a sweet-eating monster, owner of SPAR Ballygally, Chris Todd, shared the idea with Henderson Group, which owns the SPAR franchise in Northern Ireland and the rest is history.

Archie’s ‘Wobbly Jelly’ monster drawing has inspired the packaging design of SPAR’s newest confectionery product, Fizzy Fangs, which arrived in-store in recent weeks, with Archie on hand to help stack the shelves and sell to shoppers.
