In 1971 Galle & Jessen were looking for a name for their new candy. They came across the name "Spunk" in the Pippi Longstocking book Pippi in the South Seas, in which Pippi invents a word for which she can find no use. The boxes bear the name Spunk and a drawing of a "fantasy animal" made by an 8-year-old girl. As with the Danish Ga-Jol pastilles (also produced by Galle & Jessen), the boxes have a little saying or word of advice on the inside of the box lid.
Spunk comes in three versions:
Each box contains 20 or 23 grams of candy.
