Retro Sweets

Are you a child of the cultural explosion that was the swinging 60s?  If so, indulge yourself with our section dedicated to nostalging about the 60s.  You see, it’s not just about sweets here at A Quarter Of – for us, it’s all about remembering all aspects of the good old days!

Enjoy your trip down memory lane, and if you’d like to add comments about your memories of growing up in the 60s, or images, sweet-related or not, just drop us a line.  This is an ever-growing section, a continually evolving historical document, so we really would love to hear from you if you have any memories to contribute. Email us at sol@aquarterof.co.uk

For ease of browsing, we’ve divided everything into the following sections:

Music
Television
Magazines and Comics
School
Food
Style

As in the 50s section, we were given kind permission to use excerpts from a fab book published by Michael O’Mara Books.  The book is called ‘The 50s & 60s – The Best of Times’, and if you fancy reading more, you can buy the books directly from Michael O’Mara books by following this link:

brand new 60s boxes of nostalgia

We’ve really got into the spirit of things, and created a 60’s Decade Box of Nostalgia – so if you’re struggling to find a pressie for a child of the 60s, this is the gift for you.  We used one of our fabulous wooden boxes (our most popular gift product by far), and packed it with all sorts of 60s retro goodies. Original or what!!!

It contains the following mouth-watering (and very nostalgic) treats:
Strawberry Bonbons
Sweet Tobacco
Fruit Gums (as per the 60s classic ad: “Don’t forget the Fruit Gums, Mum” Remember?)
Brown Gems
Jelly Babies
Golf Ball Bubble Gum
Lions Sports Mixtures
Kola Kubes
Lemonade Fizzballs
Chocolate Sticks
Flying Saucers
White Mice
Parma Violets
Super Candy Whistles
Coconut Mushrooms
