27/08/2008

We constantly get asked for historical information: 'It's my aunt Hilda's 60th, can you tell me what sweets were around when she was young?' Well fret no more, 'cos aunt Hilda's in for a treat - hoorah!

'A Quarter Of...' have put together an enormous wooden chest full of all the classic sweets from the nostalgic 50s era, so it's bound to get them reminiscing about the good old days!

It weighs a WHOPPING 3.3 kg (that's 7.3lb for anybody actually from the 50's!) and it measures 28cm x 18cm x 18cm (11in x 7.1in x 7.1in).

It contains all these lovely goodies that will make the lucky recipient go all misty-eyed:

  • Pontefract Cakes, 250g
  • Sherbet Lemons, 250g
  • Black Jacks, 250g
  • Fruit Salads, 250g
