I’ve already ended up at the Co-op and bought (amongst various other food items) 2 packs of Haribo Starmix, there were some “traditional” type sweets as well (albeit in plastic packs) but they were 99p!

I’m sure that even taking into account 20-25 years of inflation plus imperial/metric conversions thats a big rip off.

you can still buy most of the original sweets on line, although I have avoided this for health reasons…

Unfortunately I think they are too much hassle for modern shops to sell in the traidtional form (from those big jars on the back counter), they can’t be sold as barcoded single unit items so take up more time on the checkouts, and I suspect that adult customers are far too impatient to wait for kids selecting and buying sweets these days.

When did you all last see a “traditional” sweet display? They were certainly around into the late 1980s…
