So what is a Retro Sweet?

Well for anyone around in the ’80’s and ’90’s you’d remember these sour, fruity and colourful sweets for sure. Flying Saucers are a Retro sweet favourite with their sour sweet centre and colourful outer layer that gets stuck to the roof of your mouth when you suck them… remember? ‘Penny Sweets’ focus largely here too, remember those brilliant Friday afternoons after school spent filling stripy sweet bags with delicious choices from Fruit Salads and Black Jacks to Candy Sticks, Super Shrimps and Bananas, there was always space for a few Alphabet Letters in those bags too!

And then there’s the retro packets of sweets… oh my… Sherbet Fountains, Dip Dabs and awesome Popping Candy to tantalise those taste buds were and are fabulous options and who could forget Refreshers? Whether you remember the hard fizzy sweets in rolls or the chewy sweets with the sherbet centre best, their taste and fizzy flavour is sure to bring a smile.

Such is the popularity of traditional sweets that we have enjoyed recently creating a Retro Sweet Jar.

Lots of tasting and memories involved in the design of this sweet jar treat too . Someone has to do it! Filled to the brim with awesome retro sweet choices, they’re a firm favourite with our customers. Both in our Award Winning UK Sweet Shop and with customers wishing to buy sweets online. Filled to the absolute maximum with Sweet favourites, Anglo Bubbly (anyone else remember pulling that out of their hair after a particularly enthusiastic bubble attempt!). Fizz Whizz, Dip Dabs, Refreshers, Love Hearts, Flying Saucers, Black Jacks and Fruit Salads all play a key role in this fab Retro Sweet Jar to name but a few. You’re sure to be taken straight back to your childhood with these favourite sweets. Who could resist sharing the sweet love and happy memories with the next generation too?
