Well you can get 3 times the amount of sherbet on a lollipop for a start, and as long as you're not a greedy sod and don't bite the lollipop lasts longer. These things mattered when I was 6 or 7 and only got sixpence a week pocket money.... :laugh:

A quarter of black currant and licorice... 25p

You don't see sweets being weighed from jars these days, do you ?

Probably some edict from Brussels, banning it on the grounds of dangers to shopkeepers from falling jar injuries, or some such bull5hit !

Last I saw was early 2000's. Weight's and measures act meant calibrating scales for EU approval. And you had to sell in metric. :rolleyes:

Can still buy a quart of sweets out of a jar in some sweet shops round here guys.. :)
