Sno-Cone Machines In 1967, Hasbro introduced its little icy treat factories to sweaty summer cities and suburbs everywhere. The Frosty Sno-Man Sno-Cone… It is not a challenge they have shied away from, says Fretwell. They have already switched to all natural colours and flavours – a change undertaken without anyone really noticing. And the reduction in sugar is ongoing. Last year the sugar content in Fruit Salad Softies – a modern twist on the classic Fruit Salad of years gone by – was reduced by 21 per cent, while the dip dab Softie lolly, not on the market yet, will be 38 per cent lower in sugar content than similar products. Not so sweet In medieval and Victorian times, sweets were treats for adults, but somewhere along the way the focus shifted to children, says Charrington-Hollins. Thanks to our memories of crunching Kola Kubes and feasting on toffees, our love for certain sweets continues even when we leave childhood behind, she says. “People get very protective about products remaining the same because it’s part of their childhood.” Nothing will ever beat the classic Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts! In 1899, a confectionary sale representative dropped a tray of the liquorice delights and mixed them all up (when scrambling them off of the floor to save them). Intrigued by the jumbled-up colourful creation, Bassetts started manufacturing their allsorts on a mass scale and they've been around ever since! Are you a fan?

One of the things we always recognised is that people do buy with their eyes so we need to make sure that what they see tastes as good as they expect,” Fretwell tells me – something my attempt at Dolly Mix, purple with an overpowering mango flavour, doesn’t quite achieve.

So there are our best traditional English sweets. perhaps we've reminded you of a retro childhood favourite or we've introduced you to a new favourite? Some are confused over which products come under the tax. McDonald’s has added 12p to the price of a medium Coca-Cola, which contains 42g of sugar. But Fanta – which has recently changed its recipe – and low-sugar Coke Zero, Diet Coke, and Sprite, remain the same price. On top of impressing an eclectic audience of adults on a trip down memory lane and children on the hunt for the next on-trend treat brands such as Barratt also have to make sure their sweets are appropriate in our sugar-conscious era. That involves a delicate balance between doing their bit to lower sugar content while still making sure people feel they are having a treat. Balancing nostalgia and people’s reluctance to let go of their childhood favourites with the need to win over a brand new audience is a task for Fretwell and his team. Yet that challenge has not stopped them trying twists on tried and tested classics, such as a new Sour Apple dip dab that riffs on the old-school version, to mark the relaunch.

Runts – the candy sweet that looks like fruit, making some kids feel like they are getting their 5-a-day whilst rotting their teeth. Well that’s what the tagline should have been. Another of Willy Wonka’s creations (actually Nestle, but they obtained the Charlie and the Chocolate factories rights).

These morish mice will always be a fun one to eat! Space Dust Nobody ate Space Dust because it tasted nice. In fact, most people probably couldn't tell you what it tasted like. It wasn't… Wine Gums have been a household name for years and were first invented over 100 years ago! In contrast to their name, Wine Gums contain no alcohol, but each coloured sweet is named after a type of wine. Wine Gums are traditionally made in 5 shapes: kidney, crown, rhombus, circle, and oblong (and also in a variety of colours). Which is your favourite shape and colour?
