| random trivia |
| In the first 3 weeks of selling Wispa bars at the end of September 07, A Quarter Of sold 12,000 bars… even though for the first 2 weeks we had to restrict each customer to 1 order (5 bars)! It was a Wispa FRENZY! |

special offer turkish delight
This is the best Turkish Delight we have ever ever tasted. I used to think that you could only get plain old Rose Turkish Delight. How wrong I was!
|
 |
|
We've Hazelnut, Chocolate, Pistachio, Lemon, Rose (of course!)... Sultan Delight and Pasha Delight (no... I'd never heard of them either... but they taste amazing... take a look for yourself!). And all are covered in coconut... to make them even more irresistible
We had this made especially for us - by a proper Turkish Delight maker in Konya, Turkey... and it's proper good!
And it's just got better... because we've just taken 30p off the price of every 250g bag. But stocks really are extremely limited... so treat yourself while you can! |
| check out the brand new a quarter of decade pages |
Do you just love to reminisce about the good old days?
The days when life was simpler... when the highlight of the week was a trip to the local sweetshop, or the delivery of your copy of the Beano, or the triumph of successfully slipping a whoopee cushion under your Auntie Rita? |
|
If so, then come and visit our new Decade Pages: we've started a bank of reminiscences from the 50s and 60s covering all aspects of life then, from food to books, to television to toys.
The aim is to develop it into an ever-growing bank of people's memories. And don't forget - everyone is welcome to contribute their very own piece of history... how cool is that?
To see them, click here for the 50s, and here for the 60s! |

| 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... 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. |

| 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… |
