A Quarter Of

A Quarter Of is a nostalgic online sweet shop which replaces the corner sweet shop that everyone remembers growing up with, which is sadly disappearing. Their sweets bring back fond memories of childhood days when the sun shone for longer, when you went everywhere with a whoopee cushion in your back pocket, and when your 6p change from your weekly dose of penny chews went on a copy of Whizzer and Chips.

They have around 600 old favourites - from Space Dust to Cherry Lips, Sweet Tobacco to Anglo Bubbly Bubblegum, Candy Necklaces to Blackjacks… And we’re adding more all the time - if a sweet is still around, they’ll find it and stock it!

Are they popular? Yes! They’ve been featured on BBC (Good Food Live, Working Lunch), ITV (This Morning), SKY News, Radio 5, The Sun, The Mirror, Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian, The Mail…. the list goes on and on. In fact, they’re recognised by many in the national media as the voice of the industry.

FSA Goes for Goal

28 November 2008 | Category Chewing The Fat (Editorial), News | One comment »

There have been all sorts of initiatives in the last couple of years aimed at getting kids to eat more healthily. Jamie Oliver’s campaign about school dinners has been perhaps the most prominent, but there have been plenty of others.

Not to be outdone, the Food Standards Agency has teamed up with two English Premier League football clubs on local community initiatives targeting children who play football.

“Something To Chew On” is an initiative to help teach 7-8 year olds the basics of food, nutritition and exercise as part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. It’s run by the Manchester United Foundation and funded by the FSA together with the Premier League/PFA Community Fund. Parents will also be involved, to ensure that the classroom lessons are reinforced at home.

Meanwhile, down in North London, the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation are running “What’s Cooking? Kick & Cook” for 11-14 year olds at five secondary schools in the London Borough of Haringey. Here the youngsters will be cooking recipes suggested by various Spurs players and catering staff – a DVD’s been produced so that they can see how it’s done.

You can read more about the two schemes in the FSA's press release.
