Back in 2002 when AQuarterOf was born there were almost zero confectionery shops online where you could arrange for a pick and mix delivery to cure your craving for tubs or bags of the best rhubarb or licorice sweets... let alone 80s sweets classics like the Cadburys Old Jamaica Chocolate Bar - that name always reminds me of a treasure island!  So while we would never claim to be the oldest sweet shop in the World, when it comes to penny sweets or online pick and mix, we're not far off the English sweets World's oldest sweetshop, or the oldest sweet shop in England for cheap sweet box delivery, specialising in pick n mix online - all whisked to your door in boxes!

Everyone loves tuck shop sweet classics (we refuse to call them candy!), whether they are the old chocolate bars and lists of old sweet names of 1960s sweets - favourites like lions midget gems, kop kops, lolipops or the aforementioned Bourneville Old Jamaica Bar all the way through to the kids sweets of today - pick a mix is still as popular as ever and pick n mix delivery means you can enjoy your favourite retro chocolate bars
