If you’re ever in need of a serious sugar fix we know just the man to help you out.

A client of ours recently required 17,000 packets of space dust for a promotion we’re currently involved in. More an experience than a sweet, the blast from the past crystals 'explode' upon contact with moisture and come in either strawberry, tutti frutti or orange flavours.

Anyway, a quick search of the internet led us to North East based Phoenix Trading whose warehouse genuinely looks like an outpost of the Willy Wonka empire. For the record, give me Gene Wilder over Johnny Depp any day.

Dave at Phoenix Trading probably looks like neither but we can say he was great to deal with and even provided us with a photo of our palette to allay our ‘where are we going to store it all’ fears.

Thankfully the consignment is now secured in a water tight van and receiving police escorts around the UK’s motorway system.

Dave’s disclaimer – eat sweets sensibly and always clean your teeth.
