Which classic British sweet shop treat deserves the top spot in your memory?
Before meal deals and Deliveroo, there was a paper bag of pick 'n' mix and a Saturday morning sugar rush. Which old-school confection still makes your heart (and teeth) ache the most?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Sherbet Lemons
A hard boiled sweet with a fizzy surprise centre that made every Nan's handbag a treasure trove. Still going strong in glass jars nationwide.
B
Flying Saucers
Feather-light discs that dissolved on your tongue before unleashing a puff of sherbet. Peak 1980s tuck shop energy.
C
Black Jacks & Fruit Salads
The dynamic duo of the old-school penny tray, staining tongues and jaws alike. A proper taste of playground economics.
D
Sherbet Fountain
A yellow paper tube that inevitably went soggy halfway through, but nobody minded. Bonus points if you just tipped it straight into your mouth.
E
Parma Violets
Divisive little discs that taste exactly like a floral bath bomb, and yet we keep buying them. A true Marmite of the sweet jar.
