ABC Alphabet Letters
ABC Alphabet Letters sweets aren't so much of a classic British retro sweet than a national treasure. When and where they were first manufactured is a bit of a mystery, but there can be few kids over the last fifty years who aren't familiar with these colourful compressed-sugar sweets shaped like upper-case letters of the alphabet.
A staple of the old-fashioned corner sweet-shop, a huge jar of ABC Alphabet Letters sweets would always be among the other sweets waiting to be weighed out and sold by the quarter-pound by the shopkeeper. Even as those traditional sweetshops and corner-shops began to disappear in the 1980s and sweets began to be sold in grams rather than ounces, ABC Alphabet Letters sweets remained a schoolkids' favourite thanks to that other great, and now sadly lost, British institution - Woolworth's Pick 'n' Mix.
Sweets come and go, but they are as popular today as they have been for decades. Why? Firstly, it's because kids (and, let's be honest, adults) love the different colours, fruit flavours and crunchy texture of these lovely little retro sweets. Secondly, it's because ABC Alphabet Letters sweets are so much fun! It's rare for a sweet to double-up as something you can play with or put to lots of different uses.
Whether you use them for cake decoration, playing learning games with the kids, or even something off-the-wall like using these sweets to create fun and original party invitations, it's that irresistible combination of deliciousness, fun and versatility that makes ABC Alphabet Letters sweets one of the most popular and sought after retro sweets around, even after all these years.
The good news is that, today, ABC Alphabet Letters sweets haven't changed a bit. They're still every bit as crunchy, fruity, colourful and delicious as you remember them from your childhood. That's because they're still made in the same way and from pretty much the same simple ingredients as they always have been. But for a classic retro sweet that's been around as long as these, ABC Alphabet Letters sweets continue to win new fans every day. Nowadays they're regularly to be found in retro sweet wedding favours, in party gift bags or even used as corporate gifts.
