Genius
Hi,

Your site and business is pure genius.

Thanks

Ian

whatever happened to spangles?

One of our most requested sweets!

They had two types: one pack contained Assorted Fruit flavours and the other was Old English flavour.

They were also shaped a bit like Tunes with a circular dip on either side...

Sadly not even we can get hold of them anymore!

random trivia
Why are Lucky Tatties called Lucky Tatties? Easy – because in olden times, some Lucky Tatties would contain a hidden coin… sadly they no longer do (for obvious reasons!)
the best comic ever?

It was my favourite comic when I was young... and the inspiration for the look and feel of A Quarter Of...

random trivia
The best-selling sweetie at A Quarter Of is… Sweet Tobacco!
do you remember?
Space Dust was just totally awesome… remember pouring it into your mouth by the sachet-full to feel it explode away? If you closed your mouth, it kind of reverberated through your head, but if you opened your mouth, it was extra loud…
