Waitrose launches bubblegum berries

Friday 2 May 2014



UK supermarket brand Waitrose has launched the Bubbleberry, a berry that looks like a strawberry and tastes of bubblegum, for a limited-edition run of five weeks.

The berry's breed, fragaria moschata, is described by Waitrose's berry buyer Nikki Baggott as having "an incredibly strong perfume which will take you straight back to your childhood."
