Spree was created by the Sunline Candy Company,[1] later renamed Sunmark Corporation, of St. Louis, Mo.,[2] in the mid-1960s.
Spree was an idea of an employee named John Scout.
Spree is classified as a compressed dextrose candy, covered in a colored fruit-flavored shell.
Depending on the market it is available in 141.7-gram (5.00 oz) rolls or thin 5-ounce (140 g) movie theater-size cardboard boxes.
The Chewy Spree Mixed Berry flavor was discontinued in 2015.
