There were numerous flavours; each had a hard boiled exterior and a soft or sherbert centre, hence the name 'Double Agents'.


Double Agents - raspberry flavour

Double Agents - lime & chocolate flavour

Double Agents - strawberry & cream flavour

The above flavours - orange, raspberry, lime & chocolate, and strawberry - formed the first series of Double Agents Spy Hints. There then followed a second series of Jungle Juice flavour.

Double Agents - jungle juice flavour


At least, that's what the present writer thought. Later, a friend presented this yellow pineapple wrapper.


The pineapple wrapper was produced before the others; it has a block logo for Trebor, as opposed to the curvy logo above, and refers to Trebor Sharps Ltd (top left) rather than Trebor Ltd (Trebor Sharps became Trebor Ltd in 1978). It is numbered 002, so presumably preceded the raspberry flavour (this might explain why raspberry has a red wrapper, and strawberry pink; usually, it is the other way round).

The following image, taken from eBay, shows the first series all marked Trebor Sharps Ltd and featuring the block logo.


Regarding the second series of Spy Hints, this image shows Jungle Juice was not the only flavour (presumably, not all varieties were sold in all areas). Jungle Juice evidently replaced the orange drops.



There are rumours that there was a Toffee Apple flavour; other sources suggest this is being confused with Blobs, sweets made from the same moulds as Double Agents. If a visitor to this website does have a Toffee Apple wrapper, get in touch via the email on the homepage and I'll add it.
