The Internet Is A Boon For Retro Sweets

Friday, 30 March 2012


The internet has brought with it a lot of blessings. It has created a lot of opportunities that were previously not  available. The internet has made it easier for people to get in touch with each other and has created a vast marketplace that  has a large number of potential customers. This had made it possible for people to sell unique products that have a niche  market like retro sweets. There are a lot of retailers that sell retro sweets online. In the fifties and the sixties you would find a lot of stores in the main market selling sweets and other items. This trend  started to dwindle over time and today you will not find such stores on busy streets. It is no longer feasible for retailers  to take up stores on expensive streets and then sell products like retro American sweets etc. This is why these retailers  have set up shop on the internet.


There are retailers who sell a large variety of goods in a single store. The advantage of having different products on sale  is that your potential market is much larger. This is why such retailers can contemplate setting up a physical store on a  busy street. A retailer who sells retro American sweets will have a niche market that will be spread out over a large area.  If the store is set up in New York and there is someone in India who wants to buy American sweets then even though this  person is interested in the retailers product he will not be able to make a purchase because of the geographical barriers.The good thing about the internet is that it removes these barriers. The retailer can sell his product to people all over the  world and this expands his potential market exponentially. Old fashion sweets are a novelty gift option that has become very  popular these days.

Giving retro sweets to someone can bring a smile to their face. When you get such sweets you are reminded of your childhood  days when you first tried them and the nostalgia that accompanies them is priceless. Thanks to the internet you can very  easily get your hands on retro sweets that you used to eat as a child. Some people have an inclination for old fashioned  sweets made in America while others prefer those made in UK. Whatever your taste you will be able to find the retro sweets  that you are looking for online.

Going Back To Childhood Sweets

Tuesday, 22 November 2011


Remember those sweets and candies we used to have as kids. The delight of sneaking a sweet in the middle of the day or  especially when you were not allowed any is altogether different. Those memories of waiting and waiting for a sweet, to be on  good behaviour for that sweet, sticky treat, to wait for that favorite relative who would spoil you silly with a packet of  sweets at every visit. Fond memories that now will no longer take place again.

Especially as candy now is very different from  the times we used to have. Now the candy looks very tiny and not as large sized as in our time. Also with the amount of junk  food infiltrating our lives, sweets seem to be disappearing. Not all though, there are a few shops that have retained making  sweets. The trend is novelty and many of the sweet shops are going back to stocking on the old sweets that we would have in  our childhood.



One of the first things to clear up though are the terms. In America confectionary is called candy and in the united kingdom  sweets. They both are the same just called different names. Although there are different types of confectionary which have  different names. The shops that are specializing in sweets and candies also have websites and one can go through the webpage  and categories to select and order online which makes it even more convenient due to the hustle bustle of daily life.

These  shops have different categories of sweets like American sweets that we would have as kids like laffy taffy, baby ruth bar,  butterfingers, hershey’s kisses, fluff - marshmallow paste, airheads etcetera. They have old fashioned sweets known as retro  sweets; like crunchy candy, dip dap, fish n chips, flying saucers, jazzles milk chocolate, jazzles white, jelly sprogs, juocy  fruit chewing gum, large pear drops among others.

Another speciality of the U.K. are the boiled sweets also known as hard  sweets like lollipops, jawbreakers, gobstoppers, lemon drops, peppermint drops, candy canes, disks, rock candy, having  flavours like kopiko. Other sweets like fudge, taffy, caramel, liquorice, jelly candies. All the retro sweets are packed just  like in the old times. They are displayed in the old screw on fat glass jars filled to the brim with our favorite candy. One  can buy them loose and get the sweets packed up in wrapping and brown paper bags just like in the old days.
