Penny Sweets

Activity 01
Read the introduction information below. What are penny sweets? In the 60s , 70s and 80s it was common for sweets to be sold individually in shops, each sweet costing a penny or two, hence the name penny sweets. Many sweet shops had a tray on the counter displaying all the different kinds of sweets - maybe up to 20 different kinds of sweets on view. The sweets often had interesting sounding names and shapes and many became playground favourites. Pocket money was often spent on a careful selection of penny sweets and many a shopkeeper was irritated by the length of time it took the youngsters to make their choices.

Examples of penny sweets

Black Jacks: aniseed flavoured chews which would stain your tongue inky black Love Hearts: a packet of fruit flavoured sweets each with a romantic message written on it such as Kiss me, Hug me, Forever yours

Flumps: vanilla flavoured marshmallow strips Flying Saucers: shaped like a flying saucer and filled with fizzy sherbet Traffic Light Lolly: a round candy on a stick that would change colour from red to yellow to green as you licked it. Sherbet Fountain: a cylinder filled with sherbet with a stick of liquorice. To eat the sherbet you would need to lick the liquorice stick, dip it into the sherbet, then lick it again.
