Vidal has made sweets in Spain since 1963, and its tongue painter lollies are the range's best-known line — a sour or fruit-flavoured lolly with a colouring layer that tints your tongue as you eat it. We stock the full lolly range, including the blue Vidal lollies shoppers search for most: single tongue painters, Lotta Lollies tubs of around 150, and the Mega Zoom bubble gum lollies.
If you just want the flavour without the novelty, the Lotta Lollies tubs (Blue Raspberry, Assorted Fruit, Strawberry and Cream) are the straightforward option. If you want the sour hit and the tongue-colouring effect too, look for anything with "Tongue Painter" or "Zoom" in the name — Mega Zoom adds a bubblegum centre under the sour shell. For blue lollies specifically, the Lotta Lollies Blue Raspberry Tub is our only vegan and halal-friendly option, while the Tongue Painter and Zoom blue raspberry lollies add the sour, tongue-colouring effect on top of the same flavour; most of the others are gluten-free (checked ingredients) but contain gelatine.
