Gummy "Pint Pots" (also called Beer Bottles) are non-alcoholic novelty sweets shaped like a pint of beer, offering a beer-like flavor and scent without the alcohol. While a consistent ingredient list isn't universal due to variations by manufacturer, common components include glucose syrup, sugar, a gelling agent like gelatin or pectin, corn starch or wheat starch, flavourings (often caramel-based), and vegetable oils for glazing.
