Tracey Mattock, marketing manager at Fox’s Confectionery, comments, “Mention Paynes Poppets and people are instantly transported to way back when – usually to cinema trips and the swimming pool! “But Paynes Poppets are not just a chocolate for the good old days, they are out there now making a ‘Racket in their Packets’. With built in portion control and the superb flavours they’re very much a treat for today and through going retro we hope to remind customers that if enjoyed in moderation, eating chocolate can still be fun.” Poppets are available from most multiple retailers and cost 35p/carton or £1.19 for a bag.
