This is a question we get asked alot in Bah Humbugs Sweet Shop so i thought it would be a good idea to list some of the most popular requests we get, and let you know what's happened to them.
Spangles - a popular square fruit boiled sweet from the 1960's made by Mars. They did begin to re-make them in the early 1990's but demand was not strong enough to ensure their survival. There is a Facebook page devoted to these sweets!
Jap Deserts - a candy covered coconut cube-sized sweet. Similar to those ones found in Dolly Mixture, but these used to be available to buy on their own. No longer being made today. Apparently coconut used to be known as Jap?
Pacers - a particlar favourite of ours. A chewy spearmint flavoured mint with three green stripes running through each sweet. They used to come in square green packets particularly popular in the eighties, but died a death at the start of the ninetys so we believe. Spearmint flavoured Mojo's are a good substitute though!
Texan Bars - a chewy nougat bar covered in milk chocolate. This bar made by Nestle came back into circulation at the beginning of 2006 as a limited edition bar, but unfortunately it remained just a limited edition, and we can't get any more! This is a real shame as we sold out of our supply really quickly.
Cremola Foam - this was a fizzy powder that you added to water to make a fizzy drink. Originally made by Nestle, it died out sometime in the 80's we believe. Apparently there is a similar product in Germany, but we are as yet to try it.
Is there a particular sweet that you can't find? Email us and we will do our best to look for it for you.
