Woolworths Pick 'n' Mix
A paper bag, a plastic scoop, and a nation of small-scale thieves.
The greatest confectionery format ever devised, weighed at the till and eaten before you got to the bus stop.
Everyone ate one on the way round. Everyone. It was practically a design feature and Woolworths priced it in.
When Woolworths went in 2008 it took pick 'n' mix with it from most British high streets, and that is a genuine cultural loss.
Cost back then
£1.29 a quarter
Goes for now
Surviving pick 'n' mix stands are a retro attraction
