evilmanic Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Please help me, I've been trying to locate sweets from the 80s/90s - used to buy them by the 1/4lb. I'm positive they were called Mini Fruits, but Google can't find anything like it.The looked a lot like: https://www.hancocks.co.uk/millions-sweet but weren't chewy, but they were that size and were multi-coloured.

evilmanic Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Sadly not :(These sweets were smaller, spherical, maybe 1.5mm in diameter.

se22cat Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 It'll be nice to see this place open, I remember the wonderful smell you'd get when entering the sweet shop that I think was where the St Christopher's charity shop now is and the sound of sweets hitting the weighing machine was oddly pleasing too, had me salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs!

Ontherun Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 `best of luck with your new venture Dara.There was a sweet shop on North Cross Road that used to sell ration books which my kids loved getting as presents or in their stockings. They were always so excited to take their ration books to the shop, choose their sweets and have their tokens stamped. They would then count up how much was left for the next visit! Will you be doing anything similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still miss their salted caramel ice cream, much nicer than other local options (in my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alice Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Some of these people got so excited over sweets perhaps you could charge say ?20 for a 4 hour Sweetshop Experience. There?s potential here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se22cat Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hmm, asking for *free* labour to help you make money from your business? Forget the bon-bons and white mice, I'm readying a bowl of popcorn and some root beer to see how this thread turns out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
