❓❔ Did you know ❔❓

Did you know that Treacle Scones is a traditional Halloween game in Scotland, similar to bobbing for apples – a treacle covered scone is hung above your head on a string, and the aim is to try to eat it with no hands!

First released in 2012, this limited edition Lyle’s Treacle is the first radical design change to the tin since it was released in 1950!

🎃 Did you know? 🎃

At the start of the late 1980s to early 1990s, dairy company St. Ivel produced novelty themed Halloween yogurt snacks titled the Fiendish Feet series, where pots of dairy yogurt had legs moulded underneath. There were a variety of flavours and names, for example, Spooky Wooky (banana) and Frank n’ Stein (Raspberry), the flavours that scuttled their way into the museum are Fangs a Lot (Strawberry) and Rattle n’ Roll (Chocolate).

150 years ago, Cadbury's and Fry's started adding decorations to chocolate packaging, including this spooky goblin box! Customers could choose the variety of chocolate they wanted and pay extra to decorate the package as a gift. Over time, the patterns and drawings on the boxes became more elaborate, with the shape evolving from the standard square or oval.

There are now 4 movies (another one coming in 2024) and 2 TV shows that are part of the Ghostbusters franchise! Are you a fan?

The Real Ghostbusters potato snacks were a tie-in to the animated TV series of the same name, inspired by the original 1984 film. Made by Rowntree Snack Foods, later Sooner Snacks Limited, who designed their brands to match the Ghostbusters franchise due to their massive popularity at the time 👻

Scary movies season is here 🙀 Are you a fan of horror movies?

Why is it so unsettling to see dolls used as evil instruments in horror movies? Writer and director Scott Derrickson of The Exorcism of Emily Rose reasons: “In the modern world, nothing is more revered than children, as they embody innocence. And for that innate innocence to be contaminated by something evil, corrupt, or dangerous is inherently mysterious and disturbing.”

In the Museum of Brands, we have a collection of all sorts of creepy and interesting dolls/toys. Come and see if you can spot all of them!

The music magazine would appear to be around still, but in reality, many people’s current music knowledge comes from article rankings such as “Top 15 songs to Add to Your Morning Commute Playlist”. It is a slight exaggeration, but printed music magazines are few and far between nowadays. Music journalism, which became popular in the 1960s, had a heyday in the 90s and early 2000s. There were magazines for every genre and sub-genre of music. New magazines like improvisational music (Relix) existed alongside the old greats such as NME (New Musical Express) and The Wire.

Come and explore a whole collection of music magazines from the 60s onwards in our Time Tunnel. Look out for all your classic favourites - and maybe rediscover some forgotten ones too!

Jacksons of Piccadilly was a London tea house, tea wholesaler and department store founded by Robert Jackson in 1700. The company claims (although this is contested) to have invented the "original" recipe for Earl Grey tea. Grey gave the recipe to Robert Jackson & Co. partner George Charlton in 1830. Twinings acquired Jacksons of Piccadilly in the 1990s, who continue to produce six tea varieties under the brand name.
