Retro Sweets Blog from Chewbz© The world's favourite retro sweets!

This week, our retro offering is sure to take you back to the days of best friends birthday parties… and the best part of musical chairs and pin the tail on the donkey? Well, the party bags of course!

It was almost guaranteed that all good party bags had a few of these classic treats thrown in, along with all our other tuck shop faves.

These mini rolls of fizzy, pinkness are often considered the sweeter sibling to the Parma Violet.

Yep, you guessed it… Fizzers!

How many of you love these just as much now as you did way back when?
Did you prefer these to Parma Violets, or were the floral rolls more to your fancy?!

If you’d like to win a haul of Fizzers, simply leave a comment on this post and declare your love for this fizzy favourite!

The winner will be the comment that makes us smile the most, and will be chosen by us here at Chewbz HQ.

Competition closes at 9am next Monday 14th May, so get typing .

It’s Monday, it’s been raining all day outside the Chewbz HQ window, so we reckon it’s time for a well deserved retro treat.

We’re sure our choice this week is going to cheer you right up on this soggy afternoon, as this is a proper, British classic!

This boiled sweet is red, it’s square, comes coated in sugary delightfulness and has a real iconic taste. Err, guessed it yet?

Our retro sweet of the week is obviously…

Kola Kubes!

Now, who feels oh so nostalgic?!
Classic Kola Kubes have to be up there with the all time British boiled sweet greats. That taste is unmistakable, and will take you right back to your favourite sweetshop with the classic glass jars all lined up behind the counter.

We know you love these too, as you’re always telling us these are one of your favourites!

This week we have three of our Small Jars of Kola Kubes to giveaway (maybe a couple more, if we’re feeling extra sweet).

All you need to do to be in with the chance of getting your sticky fingers on a jar, is to leave a comment on this blog post. Tell us why you’re the biggest Kola Kube fan around, declare your love for this boiled sweet, or tell us all about your sweetest Kola Kube memory.

The comments that make us smile the most, will win the jars!

So get typing, and make sure you enter before the competition closes at 9am next Monday the 30th April .

*** WINNERS ***

Thanks for so much Kola Kube love, Chewbz fans!

Kate Davies, Mike Ambler and Mellissa Williams.

Hooray! All three jars are now in the hands of our Postie, so will be with you lucky winners very soon .

Sherbet fans rejoice, we’re back with another chance for you to win… FREE SWEETS. What better way is there to cheer up your Monday?!

Our choosing this week has been brought into our warehouse especially for you Chewbz fans . If you tell us you love them, then we might just add these to our retro sweet offering.

This week you could win a collection of bright and brilliant Sherbet Straws!

How sweet do these look?
We always remember picking these straws up from the corner shop and seeing how much sherbet it was possible to pour into your mouth at once!

Is sherbet a favourite of yours too?

If you fancy the chance of winning this rainbow of fizzy stuff, then all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. So tell us your sweet sherbet memories, or just let us know why you reckon you deserve to win some.

The comment (or comments- if we’re feeling extra sweet) that makes team Chewbz smile the most, will win the sweets!

Make sure you enter before the competition closes at 9am next Monday the 23rd April .

*WINNERS*

Oh lovely Chewbz fans, we love each and every one of you who comments on our little blog!
We wish we could send you all a sherbet treat, but sadly we could only choose four winners.

Our favourite comments came from:

Congratulations you four! All Sherbet Straws were sent with our Postie earlier in the week, so should be in your sticky fingers very soon .
