    Those were the days before Quality Street got the cheap and nasty paper wrappers to be 'environmentally friendly' but are then put in plastic tubs that could hold four times the contents, meanwhile Cadbury attempt to get five treat size bags and bars in the largest selection box possible hoping the consumer doesn't notice 😂

      I lived in the sweet shop, quite literally. It belonged to my parents. In those days we had a kids' sweet bar at the end of the gondola where all the adult stuff was kept. Cadbury was big in those days, of course, and on the kids' section we had three Cadbury Dairy Milk bars on offer - the 1d, 2d and 3d bars. The standard adult one was 6d in 1961. There were a whole host of other favourites including the Waggon Wheel (much bigger than the more recent iterations of that product) and cost 6d. The Jamboree Bag was there along with Sherbet Dabs/Fountains and Swizzles. The biggest sellers however were the chews. Fruit Salad, Black Jacks and MoJos were all 16 for a penny (the old penny!). These sat alongside the Bazooka and the Chewing Gum packs that contained collectors cards and Sweet Cigarettes. The Loose sweets that you bought for an eighth or a quarter of a pound were kept in jars close by - including Cadbury Buttons, sold loose.

      Mostly gone are ACTUAL sweet shops. There is one in my city that hasn’t changed in decades and does well because their stock is well made quality and the store is a bit of a time warp. Other than that, only sweet shops I ever see these days are those tax-evading, money-laundering American candy stores that have INVADED the UK. Was in the news in the last couple of days that a lot of the sweets they’re selling are actually illegal in our fair nation due to the ingredients. Don’t know how they’re even importing them. All I know is they need to go. I went in once purely to marvel at the extortionate prices and the staff were angry I was taking photos. They are even open on Christmas Day…like, why?!

    Terry's All Gold were of a much higher quality than the other boxed chocs from Cadbury or Rountree's. However since Kraft (Mondalez) got hold of Cadbury and Nestle got hold of Rountree the quality of products has dropped sharply. Milk Tray are now basically Roses chocolates differently packaged, Black Magic and Dairy Box are cheap imitations of what they used to be, and obviously they are no longer sold in half pound and pound boxes, they are stupidly small things. I think the biggest box now is just over 12 ounces. Absolute garbage. This metrification lark was a complete con trick. Its interesting to note that the Bounty Dark has remained at ONCE OUNCE per bar, i.e. 2 ounces per pack, so that is probably why they stopped production because they can't sell the 2 ounce pack and still make money. Mars dark chocolate is actually really good, so they probably want to find a way of reducing costs, so preserving profits.

He went through the bars and sold me the ones which I needed. I remember the lion fish being the rare one. I ended up paying a friend 10p for his card. Probably buy a quarter of sweets for that.

    I liked Terry's All Gold and Black Magic. Cadbury's Milk Tray was good back in the 1960s when it had the lime barrel, then they got rid of it and changed the contents. Dairy Box, frankly was and still is not very nice and I'm surprised you can still get them. All of the chocolate boxes and bars taste totally different to what they did in the 1960s when I was growing up. Too much chemicals and artificial sweeteners in them now so I seldom buy any. The likes of Bounty Bars are really easy to make yourself. There are good recipes on here for a lot of sweets. I've made Bounty Bars. Got 30 big, chunky ones (really need to get some moulds). Cost less than £3 to make them. All you need is a tin of condensed milk, dessicated coconut and chocolate. Shaziya's recipes on here are really good and she takes you step by step on how to make things.
