IN the near future we'll no longer be able to get two classic sweets which have been around for decades. And they're both very popular in Bah Humbugs Sweet Shop. Why oh why do the manufacturers have to meddle with things that work?
Earlier on this year we reported that Tangerine Confectionery were stopping the manufacture of Lion's Sports Mixtures (we still have a few left!), well now they're stopping Lion's Fruit Pastilles! These fabulously hard, chewy fruit flavoured gums, deliciously covered in sprinklings of sugar. We're yet to hear exactly why they aren't going to make them any more, but suffice it to say we're fed up about it.
We've stocked up on as many as possible but i'm afraid we're keeping all of them for our Lion's Sweet Hampers as these are one of our most popular gift lines. So if you want a last nibble on these, you'll have to buy one of our fantabulous Lion's Sweet Hamper.

And the second sweet that we've heard is no longer going to be made is Murray Mints... you can't hurry a Murray Mint. Take a look at this great montage of the Murray Mint adverts from the 1950s.
We don't have many of these iconic British sweets left in stock at the moment, but we will of course snap any up when we visit the various wholesalers around the country. But if you're a fan of these buttery mints and can no longer find them, that's the reason why. And we have been told that Tangerine Confectionery will be replacing Murray Mints with Taveners Butter Mints.... not sure they'll be the same though.
What do you think? Such a shame isn't it!
