Retro sweets are getting to be big business again in the UK, after all who could possibly forget the fun they got from their first gobstopper or how they kept examining its rainbow colour changes? Popping into the corner sweetie store for a quarter or even 2 oz of sherbert pips, rhubarb and custards or pineapple cubes used to be the highlight of any kids’ school day, and those days seem to be returning as the rise of retro sweets within the UK reaches fever pitch.
It’s hard to say whether this rise in retro sweet popularity is due to the grandparents of our current generation educating their loved ones on sweets from their childhood, or if it’s the parents. One thing is for sure, kids of today (and their parents!) are spoilt for choice when it comes to indulging their taste buds with the sweets of yesteryear.
The delight and pleasure achieved from dipping lollies into sherbert or sucking chewy Refreshers is something nobody forgets, and these childhood joys can be recreated any time you choose to buy retro sweets from popular sweet shops and websites. If you’ve really missed wearing candy necklaces and popping the sugared beads into your mouth at whim, why not buy yourself a bag full of them?
Wine gums, Love Hearts, Fruit Salads or Black Jacks and fizzy fruit bottles or cola bottles are available to buy in bulk bags from a number of retailers within the UK. You might prefer to buy your own jar filled with the retro sweet mix that used to float your boat. Alternatively, hampers, boxes and sweet bouquets make great gifts for friends or family.
Traditional boiled sweets or toffees that used to be sold by the quarter ounce are now available in jars or bags. You could even indulge your loved one with a personalised sweetie jar that’s full to the brim with their sweet shop favourites - we used to have a jar full of Kola Cubes in our kitchen.
Anybody preferring quick sweet snacks on the run might wish to opt for candy cans, with handy ring pulls and realistic tin can packaging to take you on a trip down memory lane.
Even corporate clients and businesses can get in on the sweetie action! With sweet carts, Victorian sweetie jars and hampers or tuck boxes available, you can gift the ultimate unusual sweetie gift to business contacts and employees.
No matter what the occasion, you’re sure to find the best retro sweets to suit your budget and excite friends, colleagues or family. These historically popular sweets will arouse fond memories in everyone, and our modern generation of kids will find them just as entrancing.
