A History of Sweets
We love history and we love sweets. The media industry, in which I worked for over 30 years, has also devoted its creative juices to the confectionery sector like no other.
This site offers a fusion of all of this.
Firstly 'A funny thing happened on the way to the sweet shop' is 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, we are compiling a timeline of key events in the history of sweets over the last 200 years, along with some of some of the most memorable advertising slogans and taglines in history.
This will be available here as a downloadable PDF which will also be updated on a regular basis.
