Fiddlestix or Flavour Ravers, Golly Bars or gobstoppers, Marathons or macaroons, stingers or Starbars, black jacks or buttermint bon bons, double dips or dib-dabs, Peggy's legs or push pops. Quarter pounders, ten-penny bags, aniseed balls--chances are you'll give away your age by the sweets you recognise from this list.

You'll Ruin Your Dinner is a trip down memory lane for kids of all ages. It transports us back to the days when Dublin's Grafton Street was the sweetshop capital of Ireland, when costumed chewing gum sellers loitered in school yards, and when sweetshops refused to sell New-fangled salted peanuts.

It takes us through the dark days of sugar rationing when women and girls walked the streets selling black market candies, and on to the golden age of Irish-made sweets when the entire nation downed tools to listen to Fry-Cadbury's soap The Kennedys Of Castleross and Gay Byrne cut his teeth on The Urney Programme.

The next three decades brought enduring favourites like Cornetto and Yorkie, and fleeting fads--anyone remember HB's Kung Fu or Dracula ices?

This assortment will keep you dipping back in for more, and it won't ruin your dinner.
