From Tuck Shop to Top Seller: Why Retro Sweets Are Making a Comeback
There was a time when 20p could buy you a bag of joy — Wham Bars, Rainbow Drops, Candy Watches, and Melody Pops. These weren’t just sweets. They were moments. Moments shared in playgrounds, corner shops, and that sacred after-school run.
Today? They’re back. And they’re flying off the shelves.
🧁 Nostalgia in a Wrapper
There’s something powerful about a sweet that takes you straight back to your childhood. A lot of our customers tell us they’re not just buying for the kids — they’re buying for themselves. It's comfort food for the soul. A simpler time, now delivered to your door.
🎉 Party Bags & Pop-Ups
Retro sweets have found a new home in party bags, wedding favours, and even company gift boxes. They’re playful, fun, and instantly recognisable. Kids love them, adults love them — it’s the sweet spot.
