Seventy years ago on this day, sweet rationing in the UK came to an end. This event was accompanied by bags of self-congratulation on the part of the Conservatives who had defeated Labour in the October 1951 general election. Many old favourites returned and new chocolate products launched (I remembered how disappointed I was with the short-lived Caley's "Cuba").
The last item to come off rationing was meat, in 1954.
