The Lyle’s Golden Syrup Help for Heroes tin has been unveiled by the brand as a new limited-edition product for consumers that marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day and also supports veterans in need. The product will see 5p from each purchase being donated by the brand in the UK to veterans and their families who are wounded, injured or sick. The packaging has the same familiar green and gold design, and is accented by a secret Morse code on the bottom section.
The Lyle’s Golden Syrup Help for Heroes tin was boasted by Product Manager for Lyle’s Golden Syrup Lindsay Brown who said, "The 75th anniversary of VE Day is an important moment for Britain as we reflect on the huge sacrifices made by our servicemen and women during WWII. To mark this occasion, we are extremely proud to be partnering with Help for Heroes who do such meaningful work for veterans."
