This weeks Retro sweet of the week has been part of a great British sweetie tradition that started way back in 1899- wowza!
These are (err, the best) part of the iconic Liquorice Allsort mix, but they don’t actually contain any Liquorice, so we reckon these were added in for all the Liquorice-haters out there…
We’re of course talking about the ever delicious and squishy Jelly Button Spogs!
Hands up who used to buy a bag of Allsorts just for these?
We certainly did and it seems lots of you did too, since you’ve been loving the chance to get your hands on a stash of pure Spog goodness!
If you fancy winning some, just leave a comment on this post. Tell us how much you love or hate (if that’s even possible?!) Jelly Button Spogs and you could win some yummy pink and blue treats
.
Just be sure to get your comments in before 9am next Monday, the 26th September.
YUM!

Omg!!! These sweets are AMAZING! when my nan was alive she always had a bag of liquorice allsorts as she loved them but always gave me the jelly button spogs. I don’t like liquorice so i haven’t had any since she passed away 9 years ago!

I love these because I remember my mum buying a big bag of licorice all sorts and giving me these. It wasn’t that she didn’t like them, they turned out to be her favorite part of the bags. Love you mum

I used to buy the bags just for these.. until my parents got annoyed with me wasting all of the liquorice. So, I forced myself to like the liquorice so that my parents would still buy me them, and now I love them all (although these are still the best bit by far..
)xx

I loved the colour of these so much,in 1980,I had a burgundy bathroom suite fitted,and painted walls blue,bought blue roller blind,pedastal mat and bath rug,and placed never to be used jars of blue/pink bath salts and baby blue cotton wall balls on window sill! Plus I had pink toothbrush,and ‘Man U’ supporting hubby had to use ‘Spurs’ blue coloured one. we divorced in 1981!
