I'm trying to help out a friend by giving them a business plan, I have the germ of an idea but need help fleshing it out so to speak so I'm looking for peoples favourite sweets that they bought by The quarter out of jars on the shelf behind the sweet shop counter.
Really looking for the bygone favourites I might not of heard of, if someone else has already said your choice in the thread say it again. I'm looking for about 10 to 15 sweets in total so what do you remember and long for now that you haven't seen in years.
Thanks
