Giant versions of the buttons have also been produced.[3] They are known for their circular design and feature animated animals on their packaging with their eyes being two buttons.
In 2022, the Giant Buttons packets in the UK have been rebranded, retiring the old Cadbury logo that the packets had used since their launch 14 years earlier. The new style featured a new Buttons logo that is transparent, lacking the word "Giant" on the packaging in line with the 2020 Cadbury logo. In the same year, Mega versions of the buttons have also been produced,[4] which are even bigger than the Giant Buttons and the treatsize Buttons, as the Mega Buttons are gigantic in size. In 2024, a white chocolate variant of the Mega Buttons have been produced.[5]
