Reliving the 80s and 90s, One Sweet at a Time

Imagine the look of delight on his face as he unwraps a pack of Barratt Dip Dab, the sherbet and lollipop duo that defined many a childhood. Or the excitement of revisiting the tangy, fizzy pleasure of Swizzels Double Dip. These aren’t just sweets; they're capsules of joy from a simpler time.

But the nostalgia doesn't end there. With the Barratt Dip Dab 3 Pack, the Swizzels Double Dip 3 Pack, and the explosive fun of Fizz Wiz Popping Candy in Cola and Strawberry flavours, the trip down memory lane gets even sweeter. Each pack evokes a sense of wonder and excitement that he likely hasn't felt since those childhood days.

Retro Sweets Mini Selection Box

A Cornucopia of Childhood Favourites

The 80s and 90s were a golden era for sweets, and our collection includes all-time favourites like Fruit Salad, the fruity chews that danced on the tongue, and the iconic Freddo and Chomp bars from Cadbury – simple, yet timeless chocolate treats. But why stop there? The joyous bubblegum pop of Barratt's Anglo Bubbly Bubblegum, available in a generous 240-piece pack, is sure to bring a smile.

And the list of nostalgic treasures continues: the zingy Black Jacks, the chewy Wham Bars, the uniquely flavoured Parma Violets, and the classic Love Hearts with their sweet messages. Remember the fizzy fun of Sherbet Fountains, the tangy Rainbow Drops, and the chewy delight of Tooty Frooties? Or how about the thrill of opening a packet of Starburst (once known as Opal Fruits), the milky goodness of Milkybar, and the irresistible appeal of Caramac bars?

Don't forget the Cola Bottles, the gummy Bears, the Jelly Babies, and the Liquorice Allsorts, each a classic in its own right. For a bit of whimsy, there's the Curly Wurly, the Fizzers, and the Drumstick Lollies, all guaranteed to evoke memories of simpler times.
