A Flumps (sing. & pl.) is a British sweet made of marshmallow. The sweet is a combination of pink, yellow, white and blue marshmallow, which has the appearance of a long, twisted helix. Flumps are sold in the United Kingdom and are made by the confectioner Barratt.

They consist of glucose-fructose syrup, sugar, gelatin, cornflour, natural flavouring, and natural colours (Riboflavin, Cochineal). Flumps are sold as individual "cables"[1] and in packets of “Mini Flumps”.[2]

Flumps have been sold since 1981 or earlier.[3]
