This is the only bon bon I use in my machines as they are so very popular, they were first introduced in 2013 when as a branded product, it is made by French manufacturer Verquin who supplied the bon bons for the Tango Brand. These bon bons are of very good quality and consistency, far better than any other imitations from CIC, Hancock's or Bristow's so good that others copy us and now use them or possibly imitate this product but, why pay more?
