Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe

Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe Let's take a journey back in time to the 1900's when children would delight in regular visits to their sweet shop in England, they had a large range of lollies and their eyes would all light up at the sight of these delectable treats, they had many different favourites like licorice and sherbet that would melt in their mouth, mint rock, barley sugar sticks, lollipops, humbugs, gobstoppers as well as the famous hand made chocolates and toffees and many more delicacies, the children would drive their parents crazy until they got their bag of sweets, in the end the parents had to give in to their whims and they also bought some for themselves to eat while relaxing at home. We go back to the present and sweets are still on display at the local supermarket, the nostalgia has been replaced by commercial trading, turning over huge profits for corporate business giants. The good old days will never return as this is the modern world of today's money hungry executives. Written: 11th July 2013
