Note From a World Champ!
Thank you so much for my order of sweeties.

Unfortunately, I can`t tuck in QUITE yet, as I am in training for the World Natural Bodybuilding Championships in New York this Saturday, (I hope to defend my title).

However, I am really looking forward to tucking in when I get back, especially the liquorice fudge, which I have never seen before.

Please be happy to know that you are endorsed by the current World Natural Professional Women`s Bodybuilding Champion!

PS Cheryl won- again! Hurrah!

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…

Black Jacks

 
 

Black Jacks - One of the best classic British sweets EVER - we love them! They're aniseed-flavour chewy black rectangles with a delicious and unique taste, and they make your tongue go black - so not to be munched just before you go out on that hot date!

I wonder where the name comes from?  Well the answer comes from superstar customer Mike.  Are you sitting comfortably?  Then we'll begin....

Black Jacks were called Black Jacks because the original 1920s labels pictured a grinning gollywog - unbelievably, back then images of black people were used to advertise Liquorice. However, by the late 1980s manufacturers Trebor quite rightly scrapped the Black Jacks golly logo as it was racially offensive, replaced the logo with an image of a pirate with a black beard and eye patch and re branded the sweets as Black Jack. And by the early 1990s Trebor disbanded the pirate logo altogether in favour of the current black and white swirl design.

Mystery solved... hooray!  Thanks Mike.

Blackjacks - in a jar

Or... even better... would you prefer a "Whopping Jar of Blackjacks"? A great big jar rammed full with Blackjacks.... the perfect gift for someone who just can't get enough of the little black sweets! We chose these jars because they look just like the big jars you used to get lining the shelves of the local sweetshop. Brilliant!

Each jar measures a whopping 30cm (height) x 15cm (width) and weighs at least 2.45kg... it's brilliant!

  £16.47 for 1 whopping jar
