A delightfully tangy and sour, traditional boiled sweet which makes your tongue tingle, and with a refreshing, zesty lemon taste. Acid Drops originate from the Victorian era but remain hugely popular in the 21st century.

Alphabet Sweets

One of the most fun retro sweets which bring back memories of sharing out the colourful letters with your friends in the school playground and creating your name with them. These are also know as alphabet letters and ABC candy.

Anglo Bubbly

This very British and iconic brand of pear-flavoured, pink bubble gum was launched in the 1930s by Barratt, but was particularly popular in the 1970s and 80s. It comes with the slogan "Blows bigger bubbles".

Aniseed Balls

Not everyone is a fan of aniseed, but for those who are, aniseed balls are simply heavenly! They're quite like a mini gobstopper, being long-lasting and slowly melting away in the mouth to reveal either a rapeseed or sugar crystal centre. The hard-boiled version of the Aniseed Ball containing aniseed oil was introduced in 1910.

Barley Sugar

This is a very tasty old fashioned, orange coloured hard-boiled sweet originating from 17th century France. The original recipe was created in 1638 by Elizabeth Pidoux, the first Mother Superior of the Benedictine nuns from Moret-sur-Loing. There is a Barley Sugar Museum in the town.

Black Jack Chews

A true British retro classic, these are aniseed flavoured chews that make your tongue go black! The chew was introduced in 1920 by Barratt, and the original wrappers pictured a smiling golly. However, in the late 1980s, Trebor finally decided to replace the golly logo due to its racist tones.

Candy Ice Cream Cones

These are a childhood classic and feature an irresistible combination of creamy strawberry and vanilla chocolate flavours. Best of all, they don't melt all over your hands like an ice cream!

Candy Lipstick

Edible lipstick is very popular with young girls and definitely a school playground favourite. The only version available today is Swizzels Love Hearts Lipstick but they still have that classic taste. Candy lipsticks make for great birthday party favours.

Candy Necklace (Beads)

What little girl doesn't like a colourful string of multi-coloured sweets that your can wear like a necklace and then eat? These were first available back in the 1970s, and are always a winner at kids parties. 

Candy Sticks (Sweet Cigarettes)

Back in the 1960s and 70s, sweet cigarettes were sold in packets featuring superheroes such as Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, and there was even a Z-Cars version, which seems pretty outrageous now! These were eventually banned but you can still buy white candy sticks .

Candy Whistle

The classic Candy Whistle by Swizzels is a lot of fun, and has been popular with many generations of children since the 1960s. The plastic whistles make an Ideal birthday party bag filler.

Chewits launched in 1965, and are cube-shaped, soft and chewy sweets that originally came in four fruit flavours; strawberry, blackcurrant, orange and banana. The iconic 1980s TV adverts featured a Godzilla-like creature named Chewy and proved to be extremely popular.

Chocolate Coins

A net of golden coins could always be found near or hanging from the Christmas Tree in many households across the UK in the 1970s and 80s, but by Christmas Day there were never any left - the temptation was just too much!

Chocolate Footballs

Featuring a solid ball of milk chocolate wrapped in foil that resembles a classic football, and often sold in a variety of colours, the classic milk chocolate footballs are particularly popular with young boys, and a childhood favourite from the 20th century. 

Chocolate Jazzles

These are basically chocolate buttons covered with colourful sprinkles (known as hundreds and thousands), and I remember they used to have a wonderful aroma when you opened the brown paper bag. Appealing to the eye, these have been popular for many generations.

Chocolate Limes

A delicious hard-boiled lime shell which hides a sublime soft chocolate centre. This contrast of textures and tastes makes these an irrestible and heavenly treat.

Chupa Chups Lollies

The Spanish lollipop was launched in 1958 by Enric Bernat and became very popular in the UK, too. The name plays on the verb chupar which means "to suck". There was always a display of these on the counter of our local newsagent back in the day.

Coconut Mushrooms

Shaped like a real mushroom, Coconut Mushrooms are succulent retro sweets feature a white fondant stalk with a brown mushroom head dusted in desiccated coconut, and were first introduced in the early 1960s.

The classic fizzy lemon sherbert powder that comes with a free strawberry lolly for dipping, conjurs up happy memories of a simpler 70s childhood, which was the decade in which it was launched by Barratt.

Dolly Mixture

A firm favourite since the 1920s, Dolly Mixtures are a combination of tiny fondant candy pieces, japs and jelly tots in mixed colours. It looks like a miniature version of liquorice allsorts and is the perfect alternative for those who don't like liquorice.

Double Lollies

Launching in 1952, Swizzels Double Lollies are a retro favourite that feature two different flavours and colours on a single stick. They used to be sold loose and unwrapped, but the modern version is wrapped for hygeine reasons, although they have definitely shrunk in size since I was eating them in the 1970s. 

Drumstick Lollies

Introduced in 1957, these classic Raspberry and milk flavour Drumstick chewy lollies are made by Swizzels Matlow and each lolly features the a wrapper with the iconic green, red and yellow colours.

Everton Mints

The Everton Mint stands as a classic British confection featuring a toffee centre, and is renowned for its unmistakable black and white stripes. They originate from a sweet shop in Liverpool near Goodison Park, the iconic home of Everton FC but are now widely available, thankfully!

These fizzy and fruity retro sweets by Swizzels Matlow have a hard but brittle feel to them and leave a wonderful tingling sensation on the tongue. Fizzers were Swizzels very first product and launched in 1933. Containing six fruit flavours, they are similar to Barratt's Refreshers, but the small-sized rolls are ideal party bag fillers.

Fizzy Cola Bottles

With its distinctive fizzy, sour cola taste, this is a classic jelly sweet that was invented in the 1930s in Germany but is often associated with 1970s Britain. The fizzy cola bottle became an iconic penny sweet in the UK during the 70s.

Fizzy Bubblegum Bottles

These delightful pink and blue mini bottle-shaped sweets taste just like bubblegum, and are dipped in a fizzy sherbet sugar coating. Bubblegum itself was invented by an American accountant named Walter Diemer, in 1928.

Flying Saucers

Flying Saucers originate from the 1950s and are truly iconic. They contain sherbert in the middle encased by a melt-in-your-mouth outer shell made from coloured rice paper. They are called UFOs in Belgium, the country in which they were invented.

Fried egg sweets gummies look just like a fried egg but, thankfully, taste fruity, and not of real egg. They were introduced by the German company Haribo in the 1950s and quickly became an iconic favourite sweet in the UK.

Fox's Glacier Mints

The clear and smooth boiled peppermint sweets originate from 1928, and there was a series of cartoon adverts in the 1970s and 80s featuring Peppy the polar bear and Eric the fox. Fox's Glacier Mints are flavoured with natural peppermint and last for a satisfyingly long time in your mouth.

Fruit Jellies

These were particularly popular in the 1960s and 70s, and my nan always used to hand these out around Chrisymas time. They're an acquired taste and texture but are a true retro classic, and it's great to see that they are still available.

Fruit Salad Sweets

The iconic pink and yellow penny chew has an unmistakable raspberry and pineapple flavour. They were introduced by Barratt in 1920, alongside the Black Jack. They're no longer a penny sweet, of course, but still every bit as enjoyable.

Jelly Babies

These fruity classics were introduced by Bassett in 1918 but were originally called Peace Babies. After production halted in the World War II, they were relaunched as Jelly Babies in 1953. Whovians will know that the fourth Doctor's catchphrase was "Would you like a jelly baby?" and may even remember Tom Baker offering one to Davros!  

Jelly Beans

These vintage sweets are gorgeously fruity and chewy, and bursting with flavour. They date back to the late 19th century, and were invented in 1861 by Boston (USA) confectioner William Schrafft.

Jelly Spogs

Originally named Jelly Buttons, these classic British jelly sweets are flavoured with aniseed and coated in crunchy pink and blue balls. They are also included in Liquorice Allsorts.

Kola (Cola) Cubes

Almost self-explanatory, these are delighful, cube-shaped boiled sweets dusted with icing sugar and with a decent cola flavour and in an unmistakable red colour. They were invented in the 1940s by the Pascall confectionary company but were originally chewy.

Liquorice Allsorts

When Barrett's salesman, Charlie Thompson, dropped a tray of sweet samples on the floor in 1899, he unintentionally created a vibrant mix of colours and flavours which became Liquorice Allsorts. Everyone has a favourite. I don't like the pink and blue jelly spogs but will devour the rest of them!  

Liquorice Wheels

Many people have fond memories of unravelling a wheel of liquorice and then breaking off pieces to share with friends at school - you can just eat the whole thing yourself, of course! Liquorice Catherine Wheels have a blue, pink Jelly Spog in the centre (sometimes orange is also included) although they're not as widely available today. 

Liquorice Pipes

As with sweet cigarettes, these give rise to controversy but are, surprisngly still available to buy and look exactly the same as they always have, with the end being decorated with pink sprinkles to represent burning tobacco.

Liquorice Torpedoes/Comfits

These colourful retro sweets feature a crispy sugar coating with a gorgeously chewy liquorice centre. We used to call them torpedoes, although this may have just been a local thing!

Love Hearts

These traditional mini sweets feature sentiments printed within a 'love heart'. Back at school in the 1970s, the girls used to hand these out to a boy they fancied in the hope that they might get the message! These also make great wedding favours. Read more about Love Hearts

Milk Bottles

The deliciously creamy milk bottle shaped chewy sweets are also known as milk gums. They were very popular when I was a child in the 1970s, and are now classed as retro sweets. They hark back to a time when almost everyone had their milk delivered in bottles by the local milkman. Read more about Milk Bottles

As they look like false gnashers, these certainly have the novelty factor and are still loved by young children today. Milk Teeth are sugar dusted, pink and white sweets with a scrumptious strawberry and vanilla flavour.

Murray Mints

Murray Mints are a classic boiled caramel sweet that was introduced in 1944, and named after Robert Murray. In the 1950s, they came with the slogan "Too good to hurry mints". Today they are made by Maynards Bassetts but taste as delicious as ever.

Parma Violets

The perfumed flavour of Parma Violets is certainly an acquired taste but the iconic violet-flavoured, disc-shaped sweets by Swizzels Matlow have a decicated fan base, and have been discovered by new generations of sweet lovers since their introduction in 1946.

Peanut Brittle

Delcious roasted peanuts embedded in caramelised sugar. The sweet and salty taste is devilishly addictive but my aging teeth can no longer handle it, sadly. Peanut Brittle is believed to originate from South America in the late 19th century, and is defintely not a British invention.

This is a traditional red and yellow boiled sweet shaped like a pear and with a distinctive pear flavour. Very delicious and some varieties have separate red and yellow colours, while others combine the two colours into one sweet (in two halves). Pear Drops have their roots in 19th-century England, with their creation attributed to Edward Sharp, a confectioner based in the city of York.  

Rainbow Drops

Originating from the 1930s and made from puffed rice coated in sugar, Swizzels Rainbow Drops were originally sold loose. The colourful retro classic is now conveniently avialable in share bags and as popular as ever!

Refreshers by Barratt

Introduced by Barratts in 1935, virtually everyone remembers these pastel-coloured, fizzy sweets, which are a true retro classic. They're an acquired taste, though, and I have to admit that I really can't stand them! But you either love them or hate them, I guess!

Refreshers by Swizzels

Invented in 1963, Swizzels Refreshers are not related to the Barratt Refreshers above and have the original lemon taste and taste just the as they always have. These are also available in strawberry and sour apple flavours.

Rhubarb & Custard

A very British, traditional boiled sweet that tastes like the classic pudding. There are many modern versions of the sweet (such as Haribo's version) which are very different but can't match the original version. We recommend Maxons if you want an authentic taste from your childhood.

Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles

It's almost impossible not to chew the fruity jelly sweet with its crispy sugar coating, which was introduced in 1881. Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles are still made in England, despite being owned by Swiss giant Nestlé since 1988.  

Sherbert Fountain

The Sherbert Fountain is a nostalgic delight that was invented by Henry Edward Brunt, and then introduced by Barratt in 1925. The original tubes were made from card, with the end of the liqourice dipping stick poking out of the top, giving it the appearance of a firework or bomb. They are now plastic with a sealed cap but still filled with glorious sherbet and liquorice stick.

Spearmint Chews

Back in the 1970s we had Pacers (remember them?) but spearmint chews were also popular in the local sweet shop. They're chewy and taste of spearmint - what's not to like!

In Britain, sugar mice have adorned Christmas celebrations since the Victorian era, becoming a cherished tradition. Victorian children would frequently craft these sweet treats as heartfelt gifts for their parents, adorning the Christmas tree with these delightful creations. 

Sugared Almonds

Sugared Almonds often used as wedding favours due to their pastel coloured, crisp, candy shell. The contrasting bitterness of the almond and sweetness of the shell combine to give an irresistible taste sensation. Some confectioners offer a one colour coating which can even include gold or silver.

Super Shrimps (Foam Shrimps)

These classic, foamy, raspberry mallows have been around for many generations and were launched by the British confectionary company Barratt back in the 1940s. Super Shrimps are a timless classic still enjoyed by a new generation of youngsters.

Sweet Bananas (Foam Bananas)

A soft and juicy, melt-in-the-mouth chew that features a lovely mellow banana flavour. These are often sold mixed with foam shrimps

Sweet Peanuts

Shaped like monkey nuts (peanuts in their shells), these are delightful retro sweets with a smooth and buttery caramel taste. However, they do not actually contain any peanuts but do have a slightly nutty flavour.

Traffic Light Lollipops

These lollies are a 20th century classic and they are particularly popular because the yummy flavour changes as you suck through the three different colours.

White Chocolate Snowies/Jazzles/Jazzies

These are the sweeter, white chocolate version of brown jazzles, and it is common for people to mix the two together at parties. The deliciously creamy chocolate is sprinkled with crunchy candy to give a very satisfying experience.

I hope you enjoyed reading our list of 60 classic retro sweets you can still buy today, and that we have made you feel all nostalgic.

Candy memories

My favorite candy memory was buying Mallo Cups and the anticipation of opening the wrapper to see the collectible play money ticket inside. You could collect five dollars worth and send them into the company, and they would send you free candy...

This was back when this candy was called $100,000 bars, not 100 Grand bars. I remember going to my friend Cori's birthday party in elementary school, maybe third grade. At the party her mom told us that we were each going to get $100,000...

Lived only a block away from the penny candy store back in the 60's. Some of my favorites were the Black Licorice Records and Flying Saucers. Also, brought home Turkish Taffy to put into the freezer for later...

Southern Comfort Old Fashioned (Sweet)

Is it Friday yet? Almost. And if your week has been anything like ours, then a good mixer sounds like the perfect cap. Speaking of Fridays, a Wisconsin tradition that’s nearly as big as the fish fry is the old fashioned cocktail.

Despite it first appearing in Louisville, KY – it’s a huge staple at supper clubs all over the dairy state. While traditionally mixed with Korbel brandy, substituting a double shot of SoCo makes this classic cocktail the perfect precursor to everything from fried perch to a burger.

This vs. That

As with most mix drinks, your preferences will dictate a lot of what you add and even more of what you don’t. Want to use brandy? Only have aromatic bitters instead of orange ones? Don’t like simple syrup? That’s fine! There’s actually two official ways to make the old fashioned. If you prefer it sweet, you top off the alcohol and bitters with a white soda, like Sprite, 7 UP, or Sierra Mist. If you want it sour, then grapefruit soda is used, like Squirt or 50/50. You can also use plain water, if soda isn’t your thing.

The Dos and Don'ts of Making an Old Fashioned

Liquor.com / Tim Nusog

The Old Fashioned is arguably the grandfather of all cocktails. Simple yet complex, subtle yet bold, it’s easy to see why the three-ingredient classic, believed to date back to the early years of the Republic, remains so revered.

Ordering an Old Fashioned at a bar will earn you an approving nod, but it’s also the perfect cocktail to master at home. Though it’s relatively easy to mix, it’s just as easy to screw up. These are a few generally accepted tenets to observe before taking a crack at an Old Fashioned.

DO: Opt for a quality whiskey

An Old Fashioned is essentially a delicious vehicle for enjoying your favorite whiskey, so choose wisely (no need to break the bank, but choose at least a solid midrange whiskey). Tradition calls for rye , but many people prefer bourbon, and either works. The only other ingredients the drink requires—bitters and sugar—work together to enhance the spirit with a subtle sweetness. Over the years, the cocktail has evolved to sometimes include an orange slice, club soda and/or a cherry, but they’re not traditional to the drink.

DON’T: Dump a sugar packet in the glass

Sugar is one of the three pillar ingredients, so it deserves some thought. The classic way to make an Old Fashioned starts with placing a sugar cube at the bottom of a glass, adding a few dashes of bitters and a splash of water and muddling until it’s completely dissolved. This is still a great option, but many people use simple syrup for ease and convenience. Bottom line: Either will do, but absolutely never just dump in a sugar packet.

DO: Be tactful with bitters

An Old Fashioned calls for two to three dashes of bitters—no more, no less—that are added to the glass once the sugar or simple syrup is in. While the amount seems small, having too many or too few dashes can dramatically change the taste makeup of the drink. The type and quality of bitters matters too. Angostura bitters are always a safe and excellent choice, but orange bitters also work well.

DON’T: Add soda water

Besides sugar, whiskey and bitters, any other ingredients are uncalled for, though orange slices, cherries and soda water are commonly seen in Old Fashioneds. Many believe these extras were added during Prohibition to help cover up the sting of moonshine. In terms of the soda water, we recommend leaving it out entirely to honor the classic recipe and your well-chosen whiskey. Use a splash of regular water to dissolve the sugar cube instead.

DON’T: Muddle your cherries

If you prefer your Old Fashioned with a cherry, just make sure not to muddle it in the glass. This is not a drink that needs a bold punch of cherry flavor or fruit floating around. Instead, add it later as a garnish, and make sure to opt for a brand such as Luxardo over the neon maraschino cherry, which is full of chemicals and dye.

DO: Add an orange peel, if you’d like

Of all the additions to the Old Fashioned over the years, the orange peel has become the most welcome. However, it’s also best not to add an entire orange slide and muddle it in the glass. Instead, use only a portion of the peel, shaved off the fruit with as little pith as possible, as your garnish.

DO: Use large ice cubes

Back in the 1800s, ice cubes were typically cut two inches on each side, unlike the tiny versions we have today that are made to melt more quickly. If you want to be a purist (or at the very least impress your guests), keep some large cubes in the freezer ready to go. Your cocktail will remain chilled without diluting too quickly.

DON’T: Shake the cocktail

Old Fashioneds are to be stirred, never shaken. In general, you should shake any cocktail with citrus juice, egg whites or cream, and stir all others. Use a bar spoon to steadily stir the cocktail for a maximum of 30 seconds—you want to chill it without melting the ice cube down too much.

DO: Use an Old Fashioned glass

That’s what they’re for, after all. Cheers!

A great read for anyone visiting the region is Lermontov's short novel, A Hero of Our Time , which is set in various areas in the south of the Krai.

Because of its proximity to the conflict in Chechnya , the security situation is very poor in Stavropol Krai. While kidnappings are unlikely, there have been fairly regular bombings of public areas and official facilities in the southern cities and in Stavropol over the years. While a visitor is fairly unlikely to be victim to such terroristic attacks, the resulting crackdown has led to strict and unfortunately corrupt policing of the area — a visitor is quite likely to be harassed for bribes.

Stavropol Krai is the nearest “island of freedom” (in every sense) for residents of neighboring Chechnya and Ingushetia, who often visit this region for entertainment purposes (alcohol, nightclubs), therefore, it is not uncommon to run into them in entertainment establishments and at night on the streets. They are often armed with knives and pistols. To prevent conflicts, it is better to refrain from reacting to possible provocations on their part and simply walk away from them.
