It's not a recent 'invention. In the 1950's (after sugar stopped being rationed) we used to go to the wonderland that was out local sweetshop. Glass jars full of wonderful stuff like barley sugar, liquorice root, highland toffees, coconut mushrooms, sherbet dips, to name but a few, tempted us to spend our theepenny bits (sixpence if we were very lucky)
We could choose from different sweets and if we were willing to have them all in the same bag, we got them for a halfpenny less. Happy days.

Imagine the little kids sticking their hands in the different compartments

Tew overpriced to fully enjoy

I've kind of gone off sweets as I've got older.

Chocolate and crisps.

I suppose nostalgia always makes things seem better than they were, although I swear ice cream today doesn't taste nearly as good as it used to do when I was a child.
They were hard times, but that made the good moments even better.

The fact pick and mix allows you to get strawberry tarts, foam bananas and bubblegum bottles all at once

[Niamh.]

These are the best ones (plus they have wrappers)
