Ik heb geen idee, ik heb nooit echt van dat soort snoepjes gehouden en vond de biggetjes als kind al niet lekker 
Maar ik vind net wel dit: (origineel uit een artikel uit the independent over het succes van Percy Pig maar daarvoor moet je ingelogd zijn om te kunnen lezen, dus van een blog gehaald)
Mega interessante informatie over Percy Pig/Biggetjes/Fred Frekel die iedereen zou moeten lezen en uit het hoofd leren
The idea for a foamy sweet came from a German manufacturer called Katjes , but it wasn’t until the original product team led by Julia Catton came up with the Percy character that it could be manufactured in the kind of volume that would keep Katjes and Marks & Spencer happy.
Catton, remembers that time well. "It was the mid-1990s, we’d already made a few yoghurt gum and licorice products with Katjes but nothing had really worked in the UK, so a team of us went out to Germany to thrash around some ideas. We sat around a table and drew a blank. Eventually, the Katjes people said, ‘We’ll leave you here for an hour and see if you can come up with anything.’ I looked up and saw a licorice panda sweet with different coloured ears. Next thing I knew, I had drawn Percy Pig on a piece of paper. "
