Retro sweet of the week… as chosen by you!

April 2nd, 2012

Happy Monday Chewbz fans, hope you’ve all had a great start to the week… and that we can help make it even sweeter for you!

This week we’re offering up a real British classic, as chosen by all you brilliant Chewbz fans :) . If you Like our Facebook page, then you’ll already know that we asked Facebook fans to choose their favourite sunshine sweet.

Although Rhubarb & Custard’s came a real close second, it was another  two tone boiled sweet that won your votes!

This week you could win a haul of…

Strawberries-And-Cream-Medium Jar

Strawberries & Cream!

We’re pretty pleased you choose these, as they really are sooo good. Plus, it gives us the excuse to ‘taste test’ a few ;) .

If you fancy winning your very own Medium Jar of Strawberries & Cream, all you need to do is tell us how much you love ‘em!
Do these bring back an extra sweet memory for you, or do they just remind you of the great British summetime?

Let us know your sweet memories, and our favourite comment will win the jar :) .

Just make sure you leave your comment by 9am next Tuesday the 10th April (as we’ll be at home scoffing sweet treats on the Monday, obviously!).

*** WINNERS ***

Thank you to every one of you that took part, we love that our little blog posts bring back so many sweet memories :) .

Our favourite comments this week, and the lucky Chewbz fans getting their sticky fingers on jars of Strawberries & Cream are…

Norman Kent for the fab poem, and Teresa Sheldon for her excellent comparisons of other brilliant British combinations!

Congratulations to you two, both jars have just been sent with our Postie so will be with you really soon :) .

    Yum yum strawberries and cream,
    Remind me of a childhood dream!

  19. Of course I love the silky cream
    And the strawberry taste’s a dream.
    But also when I close my eyes
    To my delight and great surprise
    Images float around my head
    Of memories I thought were dead.

    Like tennis on our village court
    And playing bowls and other sport,
    Or perhaps lazing in deck chairs
    Or strolling round the summer fairs.

    Oh to suck them every day!
    And for a while—- just dream away.

    I remember our teacher handing out strawberry & creams sweets to all of us on the queens silver jubilee.We all dressed up in red,white and blue and made and decorated our own hats to wear.It was a fantastic day and i still look at the photograph we had taken of us on that day fondly.It would be lovely to have some again to share with others on the queens diamond jubilee.
