A History of Sweets
We love history and we love sweets, so treat this site as a kind of fusion of the two.
Firstly, there is a 'A funny thing happened on the way to the sweet shop' - a series of regular blog posts covering the lighter side of the history of sweets,
To date we have covered:
Fishermen's Friends
Victory V's
Jelly Babies
Black Jacks and Fruit Salads
Secondly, the media industry - where I worked for over 30 years - has devoted its creative juices to the confectionery sector like no other. We are compiling a list here of some of the most memorable advertising slogans and taglines in history.
Thirdly, we are building a timeline of key events in the history of sweets over the last 200 years.
