The Great British Tuck Shop

A colourful, witty and irreverent encyclopedia of the sweets, crisps, chocolate, ice lollies and fizzy pop from your youth.

From Mojos to Rainbow Drops, Space Raiders to Trios, Corona to Kia-Ora and everything in between.Fully illustrated with hundreds of wrappers, ads and photographs, this book will lead you down memory lane until you reach the corner shop, load up a 10p mix-up bag and rot your teeth on the contents.

The authors have been given access to the archives, factories and warehouses of some of the leading sweet and snack manufacturers in the country and have delivered a book that is packed full of fascinating historical research.
