From Pharmacists to Vending Machines: The Story of the "S"
The origins of Toms trace back to 1924, founded by Danish pharmacists Hans Trojel and Victor Hans Meyer. The brand name is an acronym of their surnames: Trojel Og Meyer. However, a clever linguistic adjustment was required for the brand to thrive. In Danish, the word “tom” translates to “empty.” During the early 20th century, when the company expanded into the burgeoning vending machine market, the founders realised that a machine labelled “Tom” might discourage customers who thought it contained no stock. By adding an “s” to create Toms, they established a legendary brand identity that has become a staple of the Swedish “lördagsgodis” (Saturday candy) tradition. Today, the brand sits alongside Nordic giants like Fazer and Cloetta as a pillar of Scandinavian confectionery excellence, delivering premium treats across the bridge to candy lovers in the UK.
Iconic Classics: From Rum-Filled Turtles to Witch Scream Licorice
Toms is celebrated for its vertical integration, producing its own chocolate, caramel, and marzipan from scratch to ensure “Royal Quality.” One of their most famous exports is the Toms Skildpadde, a dark chocolate turtle shell filled with a decadent blend of rum cream and caramel. For those who prefer the bold, salty profiles typical of Swedish pick-and-mix, the Pingvin (Penguin) sub-brand offers the legendary Heksehyl (Witch Screams)—intense licorice sticks that are a must-try for fans of Malaco or Bubs. Another historical heavyweight is the Yankie Bar, a nougat and caramel chocolate bar originally developed for American soldiers in Germany after WWII. Whether you are enjoying a solid Guld Barre (Gold Bar) or exploring their diverse licorice range, the brand’s commitment to high-quality raw materials makes it a standout choice for any sweet tooth.
Modernist Design and Royal Quality: The Arne Jacobsen Factory
The prestige of Toms is reflected in its physical home and its official status. Since 1962, the company has operated out of a headquarters in Ballerup designed by the world-renowned modernist architect Arne Jacobsen. This architectural masterpiece is a protected site, mirroring the precision and clean lines found in their product packaging. The brand’s dedication to excellence has earned it the title of “Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court,” a mark of distinction that resonates with quality-conscious UK customers. While they maintain traditional standards, they also look forward; the company uses RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil and invests in cocoa farming education. This blend of historical prestige and modern responsibility ensures that every piece of Toms candy meets the high expectations of the growing Swedish candy trend in the UK market.

Toms FAQ
Founded in 1924 by pharmacists Hans Trojel and Victor Meyer, the name "Toms" is an acronym for Trojel Og Meyer. The "s" was famously added to prevent Danish customers from thinking their vending machines were "tom" (empty). Today, the company is owned by the Gerda and Victor B. Strand Foundation and is a cornerstone of the Swedish "lördagsgodis" (Saturday candy) tradition, known for high-quality chocolate and licorice.

Currently, Toms products are not certified Halal or Kosher. Regarding dietary preferences, Toms does not label its range as vegan; many gummy products contain gelatin (derived from pigs or cows), and their chocolates contain dairy. Additionally, while some items may not have gluten-based ingredients, the brand does not carry a blanket "Gluten-Free" certification due to the potential for cross-contamination in their BRC-certified production facilities.
