 【背景介绍】


在英国,从60年代到80年代,只要花1-2便士就可以在小店里买到漂亮的糖果,所以在英国又叫便士糖果。许多甜品店都会在柜台的托盘上摆放各式种样的糖果,多达20个不同种类。这些糖果的名字听起来都很有趣,形状各异,还成为游乐场的收藏品。
听听英国人回忆他们在小时候如何选择糖果...
What are penny sweets?
In the 60s , 70s and 80s it was common for sweets to be sold individually in shops, each sweet costing a penny or two, hence the name penny sweets.
Many sweet shops had a tray on the counter displaying all the different kinds of sweets - maybe up to 20 different kinds of sweets on view.
The sweets often had interesting sounding names and shapes and many became playground favourites. 
Pocket money was often spent on a careful selection of penny sweets and many a shopkeeper was irritated by the length of time it took the youngsters to make their choices.
Examples of penny sweets
Black Jacks 1 – aniseed flavoured chews which would stain your tongue inky black 
Love Hearts – a packet of fruit flavoured sweets each with a romantic message written on it such as ‘Kiss me’, ‘Hug me’, ‘Forever yours’
Flumps – vanilla 2 flavoured marshmallow strips
Flying Saucers – shaped like a flying saucer and filled with fizzy sherbet 
Traffic Light Lolly – a round candy on a stick that would change colour from red to yellow to green as you licked it.
Sherbet Fountain – a cylinder 3 filled with sherbet with a stick of liquorice. To eat the sherbet you would need to lick the liquorice stick, dip it into the sherbet, then lick it again. 
Fruit Salad – sticky pineapple and raspberry flavoured chews.
