    Company appears to no longer be in business. I'd date your box to the 1960s/1970s. Would have been sold at a high end pastelería and filled with candy, most likely hard candies. Would have been expensive.

    Yeppers. Boudica's is a salt or something similar. I've actually used an eye cup and they're always oval with the dipped in bit in the middle. They predate eye drops.

    Bou, do you know that Cadbury in the US is not the same as it is in the UK? (Not as good, by far!)

    I did know that BUT only because I did some research on Cadbury's Creme Eggs,they don't taste the same as they used to so I tried to find out why. They are made differently now,in England but somewhere ( of course, I can't remember where) they are made to the same old recipe. I then found out that US Cadbury is NOT the same as UK Cadbury :O
    STOP MESSING WITH PERFECTION CADBURY

    I fully agree with the sentiments expressed here .. right now I have a yen for a Mars Bar, Cadbury chocolate bar, Quality Street chocolates, MMmmm .. we can get all these here in Canada, I would REALLY like to have a bag of Dolly Mixture which we have here but it's not the same as the English mix. Now I have to go hunt for something sweet, ANYTHING !!! ... Joy.
