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…
we're a top e-boutique!
The Independent listed us as the 2nd best e-boutique on the web…and no, it wasn’t alphabetical. We were totally over the moon!
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!
whatever happened to texan bars?

Remember the advert on TV? A Clint Eastwood style cowboy in a spot of bother, captured by some sombrero wearing outlaws. One asks the cowboy, "A last request gringo?"

The cowboy asks for a Texan bar. He chews on it laconically (love that word!) and it takes him so long to eat it that the baddies fall asleep and he escapes!

texan bars

"Texan... sure is a mighty chew."

Texans made a very brief, limited edition re-appearance in 2005 but we fear they have now gone for good.
