It’s Monday, it’s been raining all day outside the Chewbz HQ window, so we reckon it’s time for a well deserved retro treat.
We’re sure our choice this week is going to cheer you right up on this soggy afternoon, as this is a proper, British classic!
This boiled sweet is red, it’s square, comes coated in sugary delightfulness and has a real iconic taste. Err, guessed it yet?
Our retro sweet of the week is obviously…
Kola Kubes!
Now, who feels oh so nostalgic?!
Classic Kola Kubes have to be up there with the all time British boiled sweet greats. That taste is unmistakable, and will take you right back to your favourite sweetshop with the classic glass jars all lined up behind the counter.
We know you love these too, as you’re always telling us these are one of your favourites!
This week we have three of our Small Jars of Kola Kubes to giveaway (maybe a couple more, if we’re feeling extra sweet).
All you need to do to be in with the chance of getting your sticky fingers on a jar, is to leave a comment on this blog post. Tell us why you’re the biggest Kola Kube fan around, declare your love for this boiled sweet, or tell us all about your sweetest Kola Kube memory.
The comments that make us smile the most, will win the jars!
So get typing, and make sure you enter before the competition closes at 9am next Monday the 30th April 
.

I love kola cubes. Love the way they r a hard sweet that you can suck yet you still get to chew when you get to the middle. I remember as a child eating so many of these in one day that my tongue was so sore yet still couldn’t resit one more.

The last time I had Kola Kubes was when my boyfriend bought me some for Christmas, though by the time I got round to having some they had mysteriously been eaten. So, please, let me win some more!

Reminds me of my Maths lessons at school. Lessons were not complete without sucking on a Kola Kube without getting caught by the teacher. Then having to crunch through to the chewy bit as quick as possible. Yum Yum

Kola Kubes bring back memories of my walk to secondary school where I used to stop off and buy a quature of Kola Kubes to share with my friends. I recently found them in and old sweet shop and regularly take some into work where we are share them laughing at how they stick our teeth together…great childhood memories

The most mwonderful moment is when the kube has been softened just enough to bite into it and get the pleasure of the chewy goodness inside!

oohh these bring back memories, my mum used to send me to the local shop for milk, bread etc and i`d always ask to keep the change and she`d say no
but on one occasion the shop keeper was serving another customer with kola kubes and i couldnt resist to ask for a quarter lol my mum was not impressed when i got home and saw her change had gone!!

Not necessarily my favourite but they are my dear old dads favourite and seeing as he has just helped me out big time with paying for my wedding would love to give him a little treat as a way of starting to say thank you. Every time we go to an old sweet shop kola kubes are always first on his wishlist
